(thEvaraaya suvaamigaL
aruLiyadhu)
Kanda Sasti Kavacam composed by Sri Deva Raya Swamigal
helps one to obtain the grace of Lord Murugan. This is a rare
and valuable treasure that helps one to be successful in day-to-
day life.

In Kanda Sasti Kavacam the author prays to Lord Muruga to

shower His grace. It is certain that by regular chanting of this
kavacam all the predicaments of life are resolved. People
without children will enjoy fertility. Prosperity and plenty will
abound. Peace will prevail at home. The devotee will enjoy
every good fortune under the sun. As a warrior going to battle
puts on armour to protect himself, so Kanda Sasti Kavacam
helps one to be safe in day-to-day life.

See the complete Aru Padai Veedu kavacam series by

Devaraya Swamigal.
