Sri Bhairava Stotra - by Abhinavagupta

This beautiful hymn was composed by the luminous Kashmiri tantric sage Abhinavagupta near to the end of his life around the early part of the 11th century - describing Bhairava (Shiva) as pervading the whole universe, full and primordially original. The Bhairava Stotra is a revered hymn of Kalabhairava, a fierce aspect of Shiva. The Stotra is still sung regularly till this day at some ashrams in India like the Ram Shaiva Trik Ashram Fateh Kadal in Srinagar, Kashmir, and at Gole Gujjral in Jammu. Here it is beautifully sung by Ashawani Bedey Deshpandey with music by Sh. Bajan & Abhay Rustam Sopori. For Sanskrit lyrics and English translation see here: ॐ नमः शिवाय
