Sarabesvara Kavacham Hymn Composed by the great Siddha, Kavacha Jaloosha, and handed down to us by Sathguru Venkataraman, this short and sweet hymn envelops the devotee with the protective power of Lord Sarabesvara, the Great Protector.

Hail to You! 31. 108 Lines Glorifying Sarabesvara The 108 lines below constitute our glorification of Sarabesvara, the Great Protector. Reciting these 108 lines ten times constitutes a sahasranaama (glorifying the Lord a thousand times) and is therefore highly recommended. If you can't do that, recite it three times. This would constitute a trisathi (glorifying the Lord three hundred times). But remember that the really ardent devotees of Lord Sarabesa make it a point to complete a minimum of ten sahasranaamas each day, that is, they glorify the Lord a minimum of ten thousand times everyday. This should be the daily goal for all of us too. Each of these 108 lines starts with om ime. Om is the primordial sound vibration in the universe; ime is an important beeja akshara (seed syllable in mantras). It rhymes with lime, dime and mime; pronounce it similarly; Each of these 108 lines ends with pótri which means Hail to Thee or Praise unto You. Pronunciation Guide: é - long "eh" sound, as in mane, fame ó - long "oh" sound, as in gold, bold N, L - these are pronounced with the tip of the tongue       curled against the roof of the mouth n, l - these are pronounced with the tip of the tongue       touching the back of the upper front teeth (Hyphens provided below to help with the pronunciation of long words.)
