Ganesha Purana · Traditional (taught by Sage Kashyapa) · Ancient (Puranic)
The Ganesha Kavacham appears in the Ganesha Purana. Sage Kashyapa, observing the child Ganesha fearlessly destroying powerful demons even in his boyhood, was filled with affectionate concern for the divine child's safety. To shield him — and thereafter all devotees — he composed this protective armour, invoking Ganesha by his many names to guard every part of the body. The Kavacha was then transmitted through a lineage of sages including Mudgala and Mandavya, becoming one of the most cherished protective prayers of the Ganapatya tradition.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
It is traditionally held that one who wears or daily recites this Kavacha becomes invulnerable to ghosts, black magic and untimely calamity — for at the mere sight of such a protected devotee, malevolent spirits and Dakini-Shakini forces are said to flee and dissolve, and every obstacle on his path simply melts away by the grace of Vighnaharta.

Sit facing east or north after a bath, in a clean place before an image of Ganesha. Light a lamp and begin by invoking Ganesha for the removal of obstacles. Recite the Kavacham with full concentration, visualizing each name of Ganesha taking its place to protect the corresponding part of your body — from the head down to the feet.
