🕉️ Chandrasekhara Aṣṭakam | Shiva’s Shield Against Fear & Death

Описание: Experience the timeless power of Chandrasekhara Aṣṭakam, one of the most revered Shiva stotrams, composed by Markandeya in absolute surrender to Shiva as Chandrasekhara, the moon-crowned Lord.

This sacred hymn is not merely praise.
It is a declaration of fearlessness.

The repeated refrain
“Chandrasekharam āśraye, mama kiṁ kariṣyati vai Yamaḥ”
proclaims a powerful truth:

“I have taken refuge in Shiva. What power does death have over me?”

This stotram invokes Shiva as the protector of life, remover of fear, and liberator from bondage, making it especially powerful for healing, courage, and inner strength.

🌙 The Spiritual Essence of Chandrasekhara Aṣṭakam

In this stotram, Shiva is revered as:
The moon-crowned Lord who governs time
The destroyer of Tripura (threefold suffering)
The protector who defeats Yama, the lord of death
The compassionate refuge of devotees
The eternal presence beyond fear and decay

It is traditionally chanted for:
• Protection from untimely death
• Removal of fear and anxiety
• Healing and longevity
• Strength during illness or crisis
• Deep surrender and trust in Mahadeva
