कालभैरवाष्टकम् | Kālabhairava Aṣṭakam - Fierce Lord of Kashi 🕉️

Описание: Sacred Hymn to the Fierce Protector of Time and Death

कालभैरवाष्टकम् (Kālabhairava Aṣṭakam) is a powerful tantric devotional hymn of eight verses praising Lord Kālabhairava, the fierce manifestation of Shiva who controls time, death, and dharma. As the supreme guardian of the sacred city of Kashi (Varanasi), Kālabhairava is revered as Kāśikā Purādhinātha - the Lord and Protector of this ancient holy city where he grants liberation to souls.

This profound aṣṭakam celebrates Bhairava's dual nature: terrifying to those who follow adharma (unrighteousness), yet infinitely compassionate (kṛpākara) and devotee-loving (bhaktavatsala) to sincere worshippers. The verses describe his magnificent fierce form - dark blue-black complexion (śyāma kāya), three eyes (trilochana) with the third eye blazing, garland of skulls (kapāla mālikā), serpent sacred thread, golden tinkling bells, and multiple arms wielding trident, skull-staff, noose, and rod of justice.

Each verse praises different aspects: destroyer of death's pride (mṛtyu darpa nāśana), guardian of dharma's boundaries (dharma setu pālaka), liberator from karmic bondage (karma pāśa mocaka), granter of both worldly enjoyment and ultimate liberation (bhukti-mukti dāyaka), giver of eight supernatural powers (aṣṭa siddhi), and purifier whose mere glance destroys all sins (dṛṣṭi pāta naṣṭa pāpa).

The final phala shruti verse promises that those who recite this aṣṭakam will destroy sorrow, delusion, poverty, greed, anger, and suffering, and will surely attain the sacred presence of Kālabhairava's feet.

Perfect for tantric practice, Kālabhairava worship, meditation on time and mortality, or seeking fierce divine protection and liberation.
