Bhairava, also known as Kaal Bhairav, is a fierce
manifestation of Lord Shiva in Hinduism. He is often depicted as a
black-skinned deity with multiple arms, wearing a garland of skulls and holding
weapons like tridents, swords, and axes.
The word "Bhairava" is derived from the Sanskrit
word "bhīru," which means "fearful" or
"terrifying." As such, Bhairava is considered to be the destroyer of
fear and the protector of devotees.
Bhairava is often associated with the concept of time and is
believed to be the lord of the cosmic cycle of birth and death. He is also
considered to be the guardian of the holy city of Kashi (Varanasi) in India.
There are several forms of Bhairava, each with its own
unique characteristics and associated mantras. Some of the popular forms of
Bhairava include:
- Mahakala
Bhairava: This form of Bhairava is associated with the concept of time and
is believed to have the power to control and manipulate time.
- Kala
Bhairava: This form of Bhairava is associated with death and is believed
to protect devotees from untimely death and accidents.
- Asitanga
Bhairava: This form of Bhairava is associated with the planet Mars and is
believed to protect devotees from the ill effects of Mars.
- Batuk
Bhairava: This form of Bhairava is associated with childlike innocence and
is believed to help devotees overcome obstacles in their spiritual
journey.
Bhairava is often worshiped in temples dedicated to him,
especially in the holy city of Kashi. Devotees also chant Bhairava mantras,
such as the Ashtakam or the Stotram, to invoke his blessings and protection. It
is believed that Bhairava can help remove fear and obstacles from the lives of
his devotees and help them attain spiritual liberation.
MAHA BHAIRAV SADHANA
HUMAN LIFE MEANS BEING EVER IN CONFRONTATION WITH PROBLEMS,
OBSTACLES AND SORROWS. BUT THE MORE HE TRIES TO STRUGGLE WITH THEM THE MORE MAN
FINDS HIMSELF ENTANGLED IN THEIR SNARE. THEN THE ONLY OPTION LEFT FOR HIM IS TO
SEEK DIVINE HELP. BUT MORE POWERFUL WAY OF SECURING DIVINE HELP THEN MERE WORSHIP
IS SYSTEMATIC SADHNA.
Which Sadhana could be best for overcoming foes, vanishing problems from life
and protecting the children from dangers?
Without
doubt the answer is Mahabheirav sadhana. There is no place in India that does
not have a temple devoted to this powerful deity who is none other than Lord
Shiva in a very dynamic form.
No matter which system worship of Lord Bheirav is a prerequisite because He is
a deity who removes obstacles and dangers.
According to the text Bheirav Tantra following are the benefits of Bheirav
Sadhana- mental peace and banishment of problems, cure of ailments, victory
over foes, freedom from debts, victory in law suits, protection of children
from evil, stalling untimely death and accidents.
It is said that in the present age of Kaliyug, Bheirav Sadhana is most
effective in producing quick results. Every person should try this Sadhana for
benefiting from it.
For the Sadhana one needs a Bheirav Yantra. Rosary which should be consecrated
and energised.
On a Saturday after 9 pm have a bath and wear yellow dress. Sit facing west on
a yellow mat.
On a wooden seat place a steel plate and in it make a mound of black sesame
seeds. On it place a Bheirav Yantra.
On the Yantra offer rice grains dyed black and black mustard seeds.
Also offer a sweet prepared from jaggery. Then with the Rosary chant 21 rounds
of the following Mantra. Do not move or fidget during the Sadhana. Also keep
looking incessantly at the Yantra preferably without blinking the eyes while
chanting the Mantra.
Om Bhram Bhairavaay Namah
After the 21 rounds pray to lord Bheirav to fulfil the wish or solve your
problem for which you have accomplished the Sadhana. Let the Sadhana articles
Remain in the worship place and on the third day tie the Yantra and rosary in a
cloth and drop the bundle in a river or pond.
If accomplished with full devotion and dedication the result of the Sadhana
manifests within 15 days of completion of the ritual.
There is perhaps no more powerful Sadhana than this and every conscious Sadhak
should surely try it at least once in his lifetime. Even great Sanyaasis
accomplish Bheirav Sadhana as it helps them overcome problems in spiritual
life. For the householders too this ritual comes as a unique gift that could
free their life of problems, pain, anxiety and fear.
