काल भैरव अष्टकम अर्थ सहित - Kaal Bhairav Ashtakam Sanskrit Lyrics with Meaning
Chant the powerful Kala Bhairava Ashtakam, a sacred hymn composed by Adi Shankaracharya in praise of Kala Bhairava, the fierce and compassionate form of Lord Shiva and the divine guardian of Kashi (Varanasi). This revered Bhairava stotra glorifies Bhairava as the destroyer of fear, time (Kala), karma, and ignorance, who protects devotees and grants both bhukti (worldly prosperity) and mukti (spiritual liberation). The verses describe the radiant lord who shines like millions of suns, carries the trident and drum, wears serpents and a garland of skulls, and rules as the eternal protector of Kashi Vishwanath’s sacred city. Devotees chant the Kala Bhairava Ashtakam to remove negative karma, overcome fear, destroy sins, gain courage, discipline the mind, and receive divine protection from unseen forces. This powerful Shiva stotram is especially beneficial when recited on Kala Ashtami, Bhairav Ashtami, Tuesdays, Saturdays, or during midnight meditation, helping seekers progress on the path of tantric worship, spiritual transformation, and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Lyrics in Hindi, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, Russian.
