Sri Kalabhairava Astakam

Kala Bhairava is an incarnation of Lord Shiva and the Devata of the Lord Rahu (Navagraha Planet). Kala Bhairava is also regarded as the guardian of Lord Shiva temples. Kala Bhairava is the Rudra Avatar of Shiva who is the omnipresent time or Kala. Kala or time is the fearsome face of Shiva as time stops for none.

Each and every living being is afraid of time as it spares none. Hence Kala is feared by one and all. The Kala Bhairava Ashtakam was composed by the great philosopher saint of the 8th century, Adi Shankara. The Kala Bhairava Ashtakam is recited to make your journey through time or life free from troubles and dangers. Kal means 'time' and 'Bhairava' the manifestation of Shiva.

Who can benefit from Lord kala Bhairav worship:

*Inability to think or act constructively with the end result being that every activity results in wasting time (mental paralysis is what I would call it)
*Students spending lot of time in their education still not able to read anything constructively and unable to score.
*Those working spending enormous amount of time to do the simplest of tasks
*Facing too many hurdles due to every task taking too much time to accomplish. Lord of Time is unhappy and hence every mole becomes a mountain.

To be successful in life more or less boils down to being at the right place at the right time. Time lost is lost. If we are mismanaging time and wasting it on frivolous pursuits it is necessary that we worship Lord Kala Bhairav to help us better utilize time towards a constructive end. The direct benefit would also be that you will miraculously be at the right place at the right time when opportunities come knocking. He can bestow good or favorable time on the seeker.
