The Narayana Kavacham is a prayer dedicated to the Lord Maha-Vishnu for any sort of trouble, either it is seen or unseen. One can immensely benefit by chanting this sacred stotra from any sort of danger, by removing obstacles from their lives.
The Narayana Kavacham occurs in chapter eight of the sixth skandha of Bhagavata Purana. It is an Armour of Lord Mahavishnu to protect ourselves from any sort of enemies.
The Story Begins:
Raja Parikshith, the son of Abhimanyu, asks his teacher, Sage Shuka for a means to protect himself from his enemies. Sage Shuka then teaches him the Narayana Kavacham, which was originally taught by Sage Viswaroopa, the son of Thwashtra, to Indra. It is believed that the soul of the man who reads this Kavacha becomes extremely holy and that anyone who reads this would be protected by Lord Vishnu.Once a time demons have gained enormous strength under the protection of their Guru Shukra acharya. The demi-gods became weak as their king lost the courage to win over demons, at the same time Indra humiliated Guru Brihaspathi and lost the Guru protection. Then the demi-Gods approached sage Viswaroopa for protection.He initiated Indra the great Narayana Kavach as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavata Purana 6th Skanda, 8th chapter. After Reciting and installing Kavach in Hridya, Indra regained his lost strength and tamed the demons.
Narayana Kavach is a very brief Stotra containing only 42 shlokas. It is to be read once in a day. It takes hardly 10 minutes. First, we have to apply the Lord Vishnu on all parts of our body. This process is called Anga-nyas and kara-nyas.

This chapter describes how Indra, the King of heaven, was victorious over the soldiers of the demons, and it also describes the shield of the Viс╣гс╣Зu mantra.
To take protection from this shield, one must first touch ku┼Ыa grass and wash oneтАЩs mouth with ─Бcamana-mantras. One should observe silence and then place the eight-syllable Viс╣гс╣Зu mantra on the parts of his body and place the twelve-syllable mantra on his hands. The eight-syllable mantra is oс╣Б namon─Бr─Бyaс╣З─Бya. This mantra should be distributed all over the front and back of the body. The twelve-syllable mantra, which begins with the praс╣Зava, oс╣Бk─Бra, is oс╣Б namo bhagavate v─Бsudev─Бya.
One syllable should be placed on each of the fingers and should be preceded by the praс╣Зava, oс╣Бk─Бra. Thereafter, one must chant oс╣Б viс╣гс╣Зave namaс╕е, which is a six-syllable mantra.
One must progressively place the syllables of the mantra on the heart, the head, between the two eyebrows, on the ┼Ыikh─Б and between the eyes, and then one should chant maс╕е astr─Бya phaс╣н and with this mantra protect himself from all directions.┬а
N─Бdevo devamarcayet: one who has not risen to the level of a deva cannot chant this mantra. According to this direction of the ┼Ы─Бstra, one must think himself qualitatively nondifferent from the Supreme.
After finishing this dedication, one must offer a prayer to the eight-armed Lord Viс╣гс╣Зu, who sits on the shoulders of Garuс╕Нadeva. One also has to think of the fish incarnation, V─Бmana, K┼лrma, Nс╣Ыsiс╣Бha, Var─Бha. Para┼Ыur─Бma, R─Бmacandra (the elder brother of Lakс╣гmaс╣Зa). Nara-N─Бr─Бyaс╣Зa, Datt─Бtreya (an empowered incarnation), Kapila, Sanat-kum─Бra, Hayagr─лva, N─Бradadeva (the incarnation of a devotee). Dhanvantari, с╣Ъс╣гabhadeva, Yaj├▒a, Balar─Бma, Vy─Бsadeva, Buddhadeva and Ke┼Ыava.┬а
One should also think of Govinda, the master of Vс╣Ыnd─Бvana. and one should think of N─Бr─Бyaс╣Зa, the master of the spiritual sky. One should think of Madhus┼лdana, Tridh─Бm─Б, M─Бdhava, Hс╣Ыс╣г─лke┼Ыa, Padman─Бbha, Jan─Бrdana, D─Бmodara and Vi┼Ыve┼Ыvara, as well as the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa Himself.
After offering prayers to the LordтАЩs personal expansions known as the sv─Бс╣Б┼Ыa and ┼Ыakty─Бve┼Ыa-avat─Бras, one should pray to the weapons of Lord N─Бr─Бyaс╣Зa, such as the Sudar┼Ыana, gad─Б, ┼Ыaс╣Еkha, khaс╕Нga and bow.
Astrologically those having Mercury ┬аlordship of 5th or placed in Lagna, 9th ┬аor 5th house from Natal chart Should regularly recite Narayana Kavach. Those are facing great difficulties in wealth, Job and career related issues they can also recite kavach to get divine protection from ┬аNarayana, as its the only who he sustains or fulfills our mundane desires by sitting in our┬аKendra bhavas (1st, 4th, 7th and 10th).Kendra┬аBhavas are the house of Sustenance where lord Vishnu sits for uplifting, nourishment and fullfilling all kind of worldly needs and also shows our mundane desires one can have in his life that one wants to fulfill with the help of Laxmi who sits in Trikona bhavas. So, one having any sort of financial or job-related issues they should recite Narayana kavach┬аdaily once a time.
Same is case with the Dharma devta who also helps in fulfilling our mundane desires sitting in 9th house from the Karkamsa in Navamsa chart.
Those having Mercury alone placed in the 9th from the Karkamsa or having Mercury with Moon placed in it, they should also chant Kavach to get divine protection from Narayana┬аfor any sort of Mundane difficulties they are facing.
Even same is the case with the those having mercury placed in 8th or having lordship of 8th house placed in any bhava, they should chant Narayana kavach┬аfor any sort of miseries they are facing in life, or facing extreme health issues and having fear of un-sudden death or fear from Black magic or unseen enemies.
Even it is applicable for those having the Close influence of Saturn over Mercury or either they having lordship of 8th or placed in the 8th house.
After explaining this process, ┼Ъukadeva Gosv─Бm─л told Mah─Бr─БjaPar─лkс╣гit how Vi┼Ыvar┼лpa, the brother of Vс╣Ыtr─Бsura, described the glories of the N─Бr─Бyaс╣Зa-kavaca to Indra.
