Roga Nashana Vaishnava Kavacham Garuda Puranam ||

||

The following is a rare Kavacha Stotram (Amulet Prayer) on Lord Vishnu, titled Roga Nashana Vaishnava Kavacham. This Kavacham appears in Garuda Puranam, Chapter 194. The special title of the Kavacham lucidly explains the sole purpose and efficacy of this Kavacham relief from diseases. Though there are dozens of Kavachams which also claim relief from diseases apart from other benefits, this is purely for relief from diseases which perhaps implies that this can be used for getting relief from chronic and incurable diseases. This Kavacham does not include any Nyasa or Viniyoga. Just to facilitate Stotra Sankalpa, a generic Viniyoga is included in the beginning. The chanters may modify the benefit as per individual needs. The Kavacham is composed of three parts (though not explicitly separated in that manner) a short Dhyanam, Kavacham and a prose-like Mala Mantram. Though not explicitly stated, it might be possible to use the Mala-Mantram part while performing Homas (Havans) (e.g. Sudarshana Homa or Lakshmi Nrusimha Homa or Dhanvantari Homa).
