The Kaal Bhairav Ashtakam Path is a sacred Vedic hymn composed by Adi Shankaracharya, dedicated to Lord Kaal Bhairav—an intense, protective, and transformative form of Lord Shiva. Known as the Kshetrapal (Guardian Deity) of Kashi, Lord Kaal Bhairav governs time (Kaal) and destroys all forms of fear, bondage, and evil.
The path consists of eight verses (ashtakam), each praising different attributes of Lord Bhairav, highlighting his protective powers, his connection with the cycle of karma, and his role in bestowing spiritual liberation. The rhythmic flow of the stotra energizes the atmosphere, removing unseen obstacles and guarding the devotee from dangers—both physical and metaphysical.
This path can be recited daily or on special days like Kala Ashtami, Sundays, or during Rahu Kaal, especially when seeking legal resolution, removal of planetary afflictions, or spiritual strength.
At Kaal Bhairav Temple in Kashi, performing this path is considered highly meritorious. It is believed that no one can stay in Kashi without Lord Bhairav’s permission, and thus, his blessings are essential for spiritual success in the city of Moksha. Devotees chant this stotra to seek his guidance, dissolve fears, and establish inner stability.
Our Vedic priests at Kashi Archan Foundation ensure the path is conducted with complete rituals, offerings, and devotion—inviting divine grace into your life.
