Kalabhairava Ashtakam is one of Adi Shankaracharya’s most profound compositions, extolling the virtues of Kalabhairava – a fearsome and terrible form of Shiva. Here is the complete chant along with its lyrics and meanings.

We are delighted to bring you Anukampa 2021, which offers a glimpse into the lives of the people and communities touched and transformed by Isha’s outreach programs.

Over the last 25-30 years, there have been a few motivated groups—small, yet loud and vicious—who have relentlessly slandered Isha Foundation without an iota of factual substance. Today, with fake news, paid media and social media at hand, we see these vested groups weaving a systematized web of lies, finding insidious ways to malign the Foundation. In spite of the fact that there is not ONE court case filed by any Government Body, these groups have created chimeras of nuisance suits and attempted repeatedly to mire the Foundation in controversy and bad press. As our commitment to over 11 million volunteers and over a billion well-wishers worldwide, in response to repeated appeals from them to publish the truth, we now stand up and provide answers to the most commonly asked questions.
