Kala Bhairava Jayanti 2014 - November 25 (Monday)
Kalabhairava is usually depicted in a fierce form decorated with serpents and carrying a head, which according to the Puranas, was the fourth head of Lord Brahma which lord Shiva in his aspect as Kalabhairava cut off to teach him a lesson. Kalabhairava is one of the eight Bharaiva fierce manifestations of Lord Shiva. He is blue-throated from swallowing the poison to save the world; He is three-eyed with eternal supreme wisdom in his third eye. His eyes are like Lotus flowers. He is Death of death being the vanquisher of death. He is indestructible, wears the garland of human skulls and carries the trident.
Kala Bhairav Ashtami is also known as Bhairav Ashtami, Bhairava Jayanti and Kala-Bhairava Ashtami. It falls on the eighth lunar day of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Hindu month of Kartik. It is a holy day commemorating the birthday of Lord Bhairava, the fierce manifestation of Shiva.
According to a legend the Trimurti i.e. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahesh were discussing as to who was superior of them all. In the heated debate, Shiva felt offended by the remarks made by Brahma and commanded Bhairava to sever one of Brahma’s five heads. Bhairava obeyed Shiva's orders .Thus Brahma became four headed. Bhairava's sin of Brahmhatya was expiated when he reached the holy city of Varanasi after wandering throughout the world. There are many temples in Varanasi dedicated to Lord Bhairava.
By worshiping Lord Shiva in the form of Kala Bhairava one can get rid of all the misfortune. The devotee enjoys all round success and is exempted from his sins. Lord Bhairava, Shiva and his consort Parvati are worshiped with flowers, fruits and sweets. Dogs (vehicle of Lord Bhairava) are also fed milk and food. Dead ancestors are remembered and offered oblations on this day. -
There's a shrine for Lord Kaala Bhairava in most Siva temples. The Bhairava shrine in the Arunachala temple (Tiruvannamalai) is very special. The Kala Bhairava temple in Kasi (Benares) is a must see for Bhairava devotees. Lord Bhairav has the knowledge of tantra-mantra and is himself a Rudra.
To get the protection shakti that is necessary for a peaceful life amidst the violence, anger and hatred that have become so common, the worship of Lords Kala Bhairava, Sarabeswara and Amruta Mrityunjaya is very important. The worship of Kala Bhairava is very important for those living in foreign countries.
