Bhairava Ashtotthara Shatanama stotra ( hundred and eight names of bhairava) the bhairava stavaraja is from rudrayamala tantra, the hymn is made of hundred and eight names of vatuka bhairava - the one who lifts us up from all kinds of troubles, dangers and calamities.

There are various dangers, troubles and calamities in this world. One can even feel sometimes that the whole life is just a struggle. Until we realize our true self. Atman which is beyond every duality (heat and coldness, brightness and darkness etc.)

We definitely need help and strength in crossing over the samsara (the cycle of birth and death) we surrender to the god in a form which we feel we can connect with easily.

Bhairava is none other than Shiva, he manifested as bhairava the apaduddharana to bless us and guide us through the troubles and dangers and protect us from them and make it easier for us. Human life is very precious as it has everything required to become a seeker and realise the true self which is non dual to supreme absolute god.

So in times of danger, we do our part to protect ourselves from calamities both internally and externally. We pray, we seek help from the higher power. Though our ultimate aim is self-realisation, we simply seek help in handling the worldly situations which forms an obstacle in our quest of highest spiritual truth.

For those who do not have self-realisation as the aim or destination, chanting this hymn will slowly and gradually guide in that path while blessing the worldly needs which are righteous and harmless.

Bhairava not only saves us from dangers but he guides us thoroughly in our spiritual path and leads us to the experience of self-realization, he is our guru, our god our guardian. Because he is the one who grants success for the seekers say the sacred scriptures.
