Introduction
Shri Hanuman Kavacham (literally meaning "The Armor of Lord Hanuman") is a divine protective stotram revealed by Sage Agastya in the Agastya Samhita.
In this stotram, Lord Hanuman is invoked as the invincible messenger of Sri Rama (Rama-Duta), the son of Wind (Vayu-Putra), and the slayer of demons. The hymn assigns Lord Hanuman's holy names and forms to shield every organ of the body—from head to toe—from physical danger, malefic planets, disease, and spiritual attacks.
Reciting the Hanuman Kavacham creates an impenetrable spiritual armor around the practitioner, granting absolute fearlessness, vitality, and divine protection.
