The Rudrashtakam is a devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Shiva, composed by the poet-saint Tulsidas in the Ramcharitmanas.This 8 verse stotra appears in the Uttar Kand of the text, where Lord Shiva aids Lord Rama in his divine mission. The hymn exalts Shiva's divine qualities, describing him as the destroyer of evil and ignorance.The name Rudrashtakam combines "Rudra" (a fierce form of Shiva) and "Ashtakam" (hymn of eight verses).The Rudrashtakam presents Lord Shiva as the formless, all-encompassing divine reality. It highlights Shiva's transcendence of time, space, and material existence.
