Similarities Between Lord Ganapathy and Lord Narasimha
Lord Narasimha is one of the vibrant manifestations of Lord Vishnu. Although this form of the Lord is Satvik by nature, His manifestation possesses the qualities of extreme action or Rajas.
We worship Lord Ganapathy to remove all obstacles in traditional Hinduism. Similarly, Lord Narasimha is an empowered manifestation of the Lord who removes all obstacles in the path of the Vaishnavas or the followers of Lord Vishnu and his other incarnations.

He shall then surround you with a fence that no force on earth can pierce through. Sri Narasimha will always be present by your side, ready to pounce on any force that intends harm to you. Black Magic and spells will fail against you.
Origin of Narasimha Kavacham
The Narasimha Kavacham was first spoken by Lord Vishnu’s dear devotee Prahalad Maharaj. The Kavacham is revealed in one of the chapters of the Brahmanda Purana. We shall discuss the various powerful ways in which the Kavacham is recited.
One powerful way to recite the Kavacham is by installing the Narasimha Yantra on the altar. Yet another way is through offering white and red flowers to the Narasimha Yantra as you chant the Kavacham. This is a powerful way to invoke the deity in your home and obtain all sorts of protection and power to defeat internal and external enemies.
Worshipping And Chanting the Narasimha Kavacham
Another way is to install the deity of Lord Narasimha along with Laxmi Devi seated on the thigh of the Lord. It is advisable to worship the combined deities of Lord Narasimha and Goddess Laxmi. A third way of chanting the Kavacham is simply reading the Kavacham, during dusk, during the Rahu Kaalam, wearing clean clothes, and sitting in front of the altar.
A powerful method of invoking the Kavacham is to imagine Lord Narasimha seated inside your heart along with Laxmi Devi. Imagine that you are offering various services to the Lord, like washing and wiping His feet, offering flowers to Him, and showing Bhoga, all within your heart.

Benefits of Chanting the Narasimha Kavacham
The Narasimha Kavacham bestows the benefits of all the higher planetary systems. It also grants Moksha to the person who chants the Kavacham. The only condition is that the practitioner of the Kavacham should perform the chanting as a life-long practice.
The Kavacham can grant all sorts of spiritual and material benefits based on the needs of the sadhaka.
Kavachams Are for Need and not for Greed
Note that Kavachams, Stotrams, and Mantras provide as per the need of the sadhaka and do not in any way satisfy the greedy wants of the sadhaka. What the Kavacham does, is clean the hearts of the chanter and weeds out all unnecessary hankerings from his heart.
The Kavacham protects all the parts of the body of the chanter. When we say that the Kavacham protects the head of the chanter, it means that the protection occurs at the physical and spiritual levels.
Major Benefits of Chanting the Narasimha Kavacham
Physically the Kavacham protects the chanter from head injuries. Spiritually, the Kavacham purifies the thoughts of the chanter and makes him spiritual.

The Kavacham also increases the strength of the chanter. Stamina to perform work and deliver results increases manifold.

It defeats various kinds of spells and intentions of people who become envious of the chanter.
Lord Narasimha, through His Kavacham, protects the naval and stomach of the chanter. He resolves all aspects of digestion and blood circulation of the chanter. Hence diseases of many kinds are averted.
