From 2012 to 2015 we recited 200,000 plus Sri Brahm Kavach.
The first two events were with Amrit Nam Sarovar with Karta Singh.
I shared the Nihang Singh traditions with him, which he continues today.
Congratulations to everyone who has taken part so far!
The Sri Brahm Kavach Sahib was carried out by the Guru's Khalsa, for world peace and to honour the Feminine Divine, and was completed fifteen times all over the world by those living in Dharam.
Thank you to all those people who have contributed to over 200,000 recitations of Sri Brahm Kavach Sahib.
After this we moved onto Mul mantras and did about 1.25 million all over the world.

Although Braham Kavach is not located in any portion of the modern published Dasam Granth Sahib, it is mentioned in the Chandi Chritar. After Durga (Chandi) defeated the demons and placed the kingdom back in the hands of the Deva's (demi-gods), everyone gathered to celebrate and praise Kalika. The following lines are from Chandi Chritar from Dasam Granth Sahib.
*ਮਿਲਿ ਕੈ ਸੁ ਦੇਵਨ ਬਡਾਈ ਕਰੀ ਕਾਲਿਕਾ ਕੀ ਏਹੋ ਜਗਮਾਤ ਤੈਂ ਤੋ ਕਟਿਉ ਬਡੋ ਪਾਪ ਹੈ* ॥
All the gods gathered and sang this Eulogy in praise of Kaalika (Chandi), "Oh Universal mother, Thou hast effaced a very great sin;
*ਦੈਤਨ ਕੋ ਮਾਰ ਰਾਜ ਦੀਨੋ ਤੈ ਸੁਰੇਸ ਹੂੰ ਕੋ ਬਡੋ ਜਸੁ ਲੀਨੋ ਜਗਿ ਤੇਰੋ ਈ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪੁ ਹੈ* ॥
Thou hast bestowed on Indra the kingdom of heaven by killing the demons, Thou hast earned great repulations and Thy glory hath spread in the world.
*ਦੇਤ ਹੈ ਅਸੀਸ ਦਿਜ ਰਾਜ ਰਿਖਿ ਬਾਰਿ ਬਾਰਿ ਤਹਾ ਹੀ ਪੜਿੳ ਹੈ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕਉਚ ਹੂੰ ਕੋ ਜਾਪ ਹੈ* ॥
All the sages, spiritual as well as royal, bless Thee again and again, they have revited there the mantra, Braham Kavach (the spiritual coat of mail).
*ਐਸੇ ਜਸੁ ਪੂਰ ਰਹਿਉ ਚੰਡਿਕਾ ਕੋ ਤੀਨ ਲੋਕ ਜੈਸੇ ਧਾਰ ਸਾਗਰ ਮੈ ਗੰਗਾ ਜੀ ਕੋ ਆਪੁ ਹੈ* ॥
The praise of Chandika (Chandi) pervades thus in all the three worlds like the merging of the pure water of the Ganges in the current of the ocean.
