I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Who shines like billions of suns, Who helps us cross the ocean of life, Who is supreme and has a blue throat, Who has three eyes and grants us our desires, Who is the death to the God of death, Who has eyes like lotus flowers, and who has the undefeatable trident. I salute Kalabhairava, the lord of the city of Kasi, Whose lotus like feet are being served by Devendra, Who is merciful and wears the moon on his forehead, Who wears a snake as his sacred thread, Who wears the different directions as his cloth, And who is worshipped by sages like Narada.

The Gurvashtakam exemplifies this cultural tenet. In the Indian tradition, great importance is attached to having a Guru in one’s life. “When He is by my side, what can Yama do to me?” he proclaims.
