This ashtakam is hymn to Kalabhairava, a fearsome aspect of Shiva, who is known as the Lord of Kashi. Sadhguru speaks about the Bhairavi Yatana in Kashi, an intense process of obliterating lifetimes of karma in a moment, “Kalabhairava is a deadly form of Shiva. It was guaranteed if you come to Kashi, you will attain to mukti, it doesn’t matter what kind of a lousy creature you have been all your life.”

Kalabhairava ashtakam English Lyrics

Devaraja sevyamana pavananghri pankajam
Vyala yagna sutramindu shekharam kripakaram
Naradadi yogivrinda vanditam digambaram
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Bhanu koti bhasvaram bhavabdhi tarakam param
Neelakantham ipsitartha dayakam trilochanam
Kalakalam ambujaksham akshashulam aksharam
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Shula tanga pasha danda panim adikaranan
Shyama kayam adidevam aksharan niramayam
Bheemavikramam prabhum vichitra tandava priyam
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Bhukti mukti dayakam prashasta charu vigraham
Bhakta vatsalam sthitam samasta loka vigraham
Vinikvanan manojnya hema kinkini lasatkatim
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Dharma setu palakam tvadharma marga nashanam
Karma pasha mochakam susharma dhayakam vibhum
Svarna varna sheshha pasha shobhitanga nirmalam
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Ratna paduka prabhabhi ramapada yugmakam
Nityam adviteeyam ishtadaivatam niramayam
Mrityu darpa nashanam karala damshhtra bhushanam
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Atta hasa bhinna padmajanda kosha santatim
Drishti patta nashtapapa jalam ugra shasanam
Ashta siddhi dayakam kapala malikam dharam
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Bhuta sangha nayakam vishala keerti dayakam
Kashi vasa loka punya papa shodhakam vibhum
Neetimarga kovidam puratanam jagatpatim
Kashika puradhinatha Kalabhairavam bhaje

Kalabhairava ashtakam Meaning

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Whose lotus like feet are being served by Devendra, Who is merciful and wears the moon on his forehead, Who wears a snake as his sacred thread, Who wears the different directions as his cloth, And who is worshipped by sages like Narada.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who shines like billions of suns, Who helps us cross the ocean of life, Who is supreme and has a blue throat, Who has three eyes and grants us our desires, Who is the death to the God of death, Who has eyes like lotus flowers, and who has the undefeatable trident.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who has a spear, a noose and a stick as weapons, Who is black in color and is the primeval cause, Who is deathless and the first God, Who is free from decay and ill health, Who is the Lord, who is a great hero, And who revels in the Tandava.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who fulfills desires and also grants salvation, Who is well known for his glorious face, Who is a form of Shiva, Who loves his devotees, Who is the God of the entire world, Who assumes various forms, And who has a golden waist thread, on which jingling bells are tied.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who maintains the bridge of dharma in life, Who destroys paths which are not right, Who saves us from the ties of karma, Who has a shining body because of a golden rope with bells tied in various places.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who has feet adorned by the shine of gem studded sandals, Who is eternal, Who is our favorite God who bestows everything, Who takes away the fear of death, And who grants them salvation by his terrible teeth.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Whose loud roar is enough to destroy all those created by Brahma, Whose sight is sufficient to destroy all wrongdoings, Who is crafty and strict ruler, Who can grant the eight occult powers, And who wears a garland of skulls.

I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who is the chief of the society of Bhutas, Who grants broad based fame, Who is the lord who judges good and bad of those who live in Varanasi, Who is an expert in the way of righteousness, And who is eternally old and lord of the universe.

Those who read this enticing octet on Kalabhairava, Which is the source of eternal knowledge, Which increases the effect of righteous deeds, And which destroys grief, passion, poverty, want and anger, Would surely reach the holy presence of Kalabhairava.
