Chandrasekhara Ashtakam Lyrics

Chandrashekara Ashtakam (Chandrasekharashtakam or Chandrasekhara Ashtakam) was written by Sage Markandeya, an ancient Hindu Rishi who was saved by Chandrashekara or Lord Shiva from Lord of Death (Kala or Yama) at the age of 16 and blessed him to be 16 forever. It is believed that Sage Markandeya sung this beautiful Sanskrit stotra when Chandra Shekara (Lord Shiv) saved the sage from death.

Benefits of chanting Chandrasekhara Ashtakam - Those who chant Chandra Sekhara Ashtakam daily or on every Monday will not have any fear of death and would have full healthy life and gain all wealth with the blessing of Lord Chandra Sekhara and attain salvation in the end.

Chandrasekhara Ashtakam Lyrics – Astakam of Chandra Shekhara (Shiva)

Rathna Sanu Sarasanam, Rajathadri Srunga Nikethanam,

    There were some typos
    Poorna Mayor Aroghitha Makhilarthasambadamdhyam,

    should be
    Poorna Maayu rarogatha (not Mayor)
