Goddess Kali has been popular to come for the protection of all those who believe they are weak and surrender to this Goddess. All you have to do is accept your flaws and surrender to this Goddess. The Kavach of this Goddess will begin working when it knows you have fully surrendered to it and started believing in its power. Until then, it will keep testing you.
- Kali Kavach keeps your enemies away from you. Let these enemies be as powerful as they want to be. With the help of this Goddess, you can keep them away. An enemy would always want to destroy you. Even if he is not showing it on your face, he would always be sending negative energies towards you.
- Kali Kavach is not a very popular thing, even though a lot of Kali followers and worshippers are aware of it. Therefore, when you worship the Kavach, it keeps you protected all the very more, knowing that you are one of the very few people who believe in its powers. It is rightly said that the less known or popular things work more, since the entire energy is diverted towards you, and a few other people using the Kavach to protect themselves.

- The most wonderful thing about Kali Kavach is that both the genders can worship the same. While there are some orthodox parts of information that say women can’t worship Goddess Kali, but the truth is that Goddess Kali is a woman herself. She is Shakti and thus, it is not that women cannot worship her or the Kavach. Every woman is a mother, whether she has conceived a child or not. A woman is a particle of Shakti herself, but the only thing is that most of the women do not realize their very own powers. Those who want to invoke Kali in their spine and protect themselves, or someone they deeply adore, can definitely use Kali Kavach.
- There is no harm caused to your enemy. This means you do not enter into any Karmic cycle by causing any harm by using Kali Kavach to protect yourself or someone else.
