The concept and idea of this self-protection Indra Kavaca has already been detailed and illustrated, study there.
For perfecting this self-protection armour the method described by an experienced practitioner is as follows:
First of all sit down at a clean place in a pose of meditation. Keeping your palm on the heart chant the first mantra. Imagine that a transparent rampart of crystal is forming around your body. It is very broad and strong, no one can pierce it and enter. On this rampart write all the mantra letters of the first line with an imaginary pen. Continue to visualize this crystal rampart while chanting the mantra 7 or 21 times.
Chant the second mantra keeping your right palm over your head. At the same time visualize a huge red rampart around you. Write the letters of the second mantra over it and meditate as before.
With the chanting of the third mantra keep your hand on the crown of your head and visualize a golden yellow rampart. Write the mantra letters meditating as before.
With the chanting of the fourth mantra visualize wearing an armour hard as diamond and a rampart deep blue in colour. Write the mantra letters in the same colour. Try to read them while meditating.
With the chanting of the fifth mantra visualize an armour in one hand and a trident in the other. Create a strong unbreakable rampart of black colour around you. Write the mantra letters also in black colour, and read them again and again while meditating.
While chanting 'eso panca namokkāro' visualize a rampart made of rocks of diamond. While chanting 'savva pāvappanasano' visualize a moat full of water mixed ambrosia. While chanting mangalānam ca savvesim' visualize a rampart of flaming fire of burning coal.
While chanting 'padhamaṁ havai mangalam visualize putting a cover of diamond hard rock over the rampart and making yourself absolutely safe. Thus make five ramparts with five mantra lines and then a moat and another rampart. After this no evil power would be able to penetrate this fortification.
Creating this Indra Kavaca (armour) everyday before moving out of your house or abode and before retiring to bed, is the best method of self-protection.
If you suddenly face some problem, immediately try to start meditation in solitude and create this protective armour as fast as possible. For this it is necessary to memorise the mantra, as otherwise you will keep looking for the book when the problem arises. 5. The mantra for obtaining wealth.
Based on their experience the ancient acāryas have recommended a practice-Get up one hour before sunrise and after proper cleaning of the body dress in yellow, take a yellow rosary and sit down on a yellow seat. Facing the East repeat 108 times this mantra :
Om namo arihantānań, om namo siddhānam om namo āyariyanam. os namo uvajjhāyāṇaḥ, om namo loe savva sähūnam.
ॐ णमो अरिहंताणं, ॐ णमो सिद्धाणं, ॐ णमो आयरियाणं, ॐ णमो उवज्झायाणं, ॐ णमो लोए सब साहूणं ।
Do this again facing the North, the West, the Sourth and then again the East. By doing this set of chanting five rosaries (5 x 108) in all the four directions every morning for six months you will get enormous wealth and happiness. If this is done with ekāsanā (one meal a day) for six months the results are astonishing.
Kusala Läbha Vācaka has revealed this in his 'Navakära Mahima Chanda' : Püraba diśi care å di prapance, samaryä sampatti sära, Sadguru ne sanmukha vidhi samaratāṁ safala janama saṁsāra. पूरब दिशि चारे आदि प्रपंचे, समर्या संपत्ति सार । सद्गुरु ने सन्मुख विधि समरतां सफल जनम संसार ॥ 8
