Learn Kala Bhairava Astakam

Kala Bhairava Astakam is a hymn devoted to lord Kala Bhairava

Kalabhairava Ashtakam is sung in praise of Lord Kalabhairav, the terrific form of Lord Shiva.

Kalabhairava, the fearsome aspect of Lord Shiva, is the God who is the protector of Benares.

Once Brahma insulted Lord Shiva and his fifth head teasingly laughed at Lord Shiva.

From Lord Shiva came out the Kalabhairava (Black Bhairava) who tore off the fifth head of Lord Brahma.

On the entreaties of Lord Vishnu, Shiva pardoned Lord Brahma.

But the sin of beheading Lord Brahma followed Kalabhairava everywhere.

Also the head of Brahma stuck to him. To keep away the sin and punishment which were chasing him,

Kalabhairava entered the city of Benares. The sin could not enter the city.

Kalabhairava was made as the Kotwal of Benares. Kalabhairava rides on a dog.

A pilgrimage to Kasi is not supposed to be complete without visiting the temple of Kalabhairava.

This ashtakam is recited by the priests of the temple of Kalabhairava in Benares before blessing the

devotee with a tap by the cane of Lord Kalabhairava.
