Most devotees know that Devi Kavach is recited before the Durga Saptashati and Chandi Path. But very few stop to ask a fascinating question. Why does the prayer repeatedly request the Goddess to protect every part of the body our head, eyes, hands, shoulders, heart, knees, feet, and even our surroundings? Is it simply a prayer for physical protection? Or is there a much deeper spiritual secret hidden within these verses? The answer takes us into one of the most profound teachings of Sanatan Dharma a teaching that explains why true worship begins long before the actual prayer starts.
