Kavach also called an amulet is a protecting shield in the form of a pendant which is made of silver containing mystical numbers of functional benefics planets energized in an auspiciously elected time. Kavach is used for improving the strength of the planets to enable them to provide protection to the natal and transit afflictions of the planets which are functional benefics in a nativity and are weak/badly placed/afflicted.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Can wearing a Kavach reduces the power of malefic natal triggers and increases the power of benefic ones?

Answer: The feedback of the people indicates that afflictions can be taken care of to a fairly large extent with the help of astral remedies, such as wearing of a Kavach, in addition to performing charities and remedial measures. Kavach is a matter of experience and it is in no way able to tell how much it has benefited to a user. There is no way one can measure the impact.

2. What do we do to see how it works and how much it works?

Answer: The technique to measure the effectiveness of Kavach was adopted as under:

(1) Identified prolonged problem
(2) Application of Kavach
(3) Results

3. How do we strengthen the weak planets?

Answer: Kavach is one part of the remedies to strengthen the weak planets.

4. What is (are) the other part(s) of strengthening measures?

Answer: Color therapy and Gems therapy. Kavach helps with performance of charities for the functional malefic planets.

5. How to work out the auspicious time?

Answer: Balancing parameters for finding auspicious times are quite simple and are given below:

(1) Try to avoid planets in the malefic houses.

(2) Try to avoid planets in extreme infancy/old age.
(3) Try to avoid close afflictions to planets.
(4) See that the Rahu and Ketu are away from the most effective point.
(5) See that the operating sub period is that of a well-placed strong functional benefic planets.
(6) To the extent possible one should avoid the main period of Rahu and/or Ketu. But, sometime when the main period of these planets is going to end in a few months, the auspicious time can be selected even with that.

6. Are there any references to Kavach in Vedic literature?

Answer: The individual set of mystical numbers and use of gemstones do come from classical literature. The books written in fifth century, too, find mention and benefits of these. In 1991 we were using the mystical numbers of individual planets for raising the strength of the concerned planets for removing obstructions for the natives, for dealing with the health problems, for cutting down the delay in marriage, etc. etc. While the current problem of the native used to be tackled this way, in subsequent sub periods the natives encountered some other problems. Our team members experimenting the utility of these included (i) Mr. R K Chadha, who is an engineer and an MBA by profession and had been interested in astrology since mid sixties and had attended a regular course in astrology in Bhartiaya Vidya Bhavan even in 1968; (ii) Dr. Mrs. K Batra, a gynecologist, who was monitoring the impacts on the chronic patients and on prime sterility cases and (iii) Mr. Kumar Jhuraney, a businessman deeply interested in the remedial measures. The present form of Kavach was then thought up in 1992 so that anybody who is taking help of the astral remedies should be given a protection on a long-term basis. The Kavachs were made only for the functional benefic planets for a native. Dr. (Ms). Suman Chadha is a gynecologist obstetrician and had been rendering treatment for the prime sterility cases, including artificial insemination, etc. She has also found the Kavach applied to the couples with encouraging results. Overall, the experience with the Kavachs has been found to be highly satisfactory by us. But certainly, there is an extent to which the Kavach or for that matter any other remedy can work. The Kavach as advised under SA in the present form is the creation of SA and does not come from classical literature.

7. The Kavach is always worn by itself or whether extra effects occur if it is worn with a yantra such as Sri.

Answer: It is worn by itself and it does not require Sri yantra for support.

8. Is the impact of Kavach enhanced if it is worn with a Kavach that has a wearer specific mantra on it?

Answer: No. Mystical number-set in itself work as a specific mantra for the planet concerned.

9. What energizes the Kavach?

Answer: (a) The auspicious time in which the Kavach is created should have strong planetary influences.
(b) The Kavach creator (provider) should, to the extent possible, follow a divine conduct.
(c) The Kavach provider should have a well placed and strong Jupiter in his/her own natal chart.

The power of the Kavach and the Special Power Kavach depends upon the right conduct and the spiritual planetary influences in the natal horoscope of the Kavach/Power Kavach provider.


10. Would it be possible to select an auspicious time for first wearing of the Kavachs while Saturn or for that matter any other planet is in its sign of debilitation?
A person who needs a Kavach cannot wait for long. So the time next to best is selected for wearing even with Saturn in Aries, which is its sign of debilitation.

Addl FAQs on Kavach

(1). The auspicious time and the conduct of the energizer is the main thing in a Kavach. This has been clearly brought out on my website. .
(2). The impact of the Kavach through spiritual blessings is dependent on the spiritual level of the Kavach provider.
(3). The second aspect is permanence of the Kavach, which is comparatively better in a metal. .

Q18. If no, then ok but if yes, and then will it be of the same power as of a metal Kavach? .

Answer: Yes, it will have same power..

I quote here Ramayana where the lord Rama had provided the competence to Nala and Neela (His soldiers), who could make stones to swim by simply writing the name of lord Rama on the stones..

Kavach is something which is beyond the material significance of the medium used to pass on the protection/blessing.
