108 Names of Bhairav: Chronicles of the Cosmic Guardian

Shri Bhairav Ashtottara Shatanamavali

The Bhairava Ashtottara Shatanamavali (108 names of bhairav), a sacred litany of 108 divine names—invokes the fierce, protective, and transformative energy of Lord Bhairava, the guardian of time and destroyer of illusion. Each name is a mantra, a vibration that channels aspects of cosmic truth, spiritual courage, and inner awakening. Benefits are as under:

• Spiritual Protection from negative energies and psychic disturbances
• Fearlessness and Inner Strength in facing life’s challenges
• Clarity of Mind and dissolution of confusion or illusion
• Acceleration of Sadhana and deeper connection to Shiva consciousness

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

How to Use This Stotra/Namavali for Your Benefit

To truly receive the blessings of this Stotra there are two methods. The first method is that you begin by taking a sankalpa—a heartfelt vow or intention. Decide how many days you will commit to this practice: 7, 9, 11, 21, 40, or any number that feels spiritually aligned with your goal.

Your intention may be for:

• Financial stability
• A fulfilling job
• Peace and health
• The well-being of a loved one
• Spiritual growth
• Marriage
• Divine grace and protection
• Or any other goal/desire that you may have in mind

 The desire should be genuine and positive, never rooted in harm or negativity.

Daily Recitation Commitment

Choose how many times you will recite the Stotra each day: 3, 5, 7, 11, 21 or more—based on your capacity and devotion.

If you miss a day, your sadhana becomes compromised, and you must begin again from Day 1. This discipline strengthens your spiritual resolve.

Bhakti Without Boundaries

The second method is that you may choose to chant this Stotra purely out of bhakti—without any time-bound commitments. In such cases, the heart becomes the altar, and sincerity becomes the offering.

 Factors That Influence the Results

The fruits of your sadhana depend on:

• The number of daily recitations
• The total duration of your practice (number of days)
• The depth of your concentration and devotion

You can amplify the energy of your sadhana by observing certain spiritual disciplines (these are recommended but no mandatory):

• Avoiding non-vegetarian food
• Refraining from onion and garlic
• Sitting for recitation at the same time daily
• Abstaining from sensual indulgences or distractions
