Bhoothnath Ashtakam is a beautiful verse about Lord Shiv. Lord Shiv is devadhidev, which means Lord Shiv is the God of everyone who never discriminates between good and bad. Furthermore, his inclusiveness is what makes him different from all others. Lord Shiv has many names, Bhoothnath is also one of the names that symbolize his all-inclusiveness among all the creatures be it living or dead.

Shre Krishna Das ji is a Himalayan saint who wrote this magnificent stotram about Lord Shiv. He has dedicated his life to the well-being of humankind by writing these divine ashtakam.
