LORD SHRI KALA BHAIRAVAR :
Lord Kala Bhairavr is a fierce incarnation of Lord Shiva. The term Bhairavr means “Terrific”. He is often depicted with frowning, angry eyes and sharp, tiger’s teeth and flaming hair, stark naked except for garlands of skulls and a coiled snake about his neck. In his four hands he carries a noose, trident, drum and skull. He is often shown accompanied by a dog. Lord Bhairav’s worship is very easy to please lord Bhairav by doing norma worship daily. Lord Bhairavr guards the Lord Shiva temple, due to which He is called “Kotwal” also. Lord Bhairav protects, removes all obstacles, cleans the soul with his sheer intensity and makes things favorable for a sadhak. He is one of the most feared deities, but actually, he is one of the most rewarding.
The vahana (vehicle) of Lord is the dog. Dogs (particularly b lack dogs) were often considered the most appropriate form of sacrifice to Bhairava, and he is sometimes shown as holding a severed human head, with a dog waiting at one side, in order to catch the blood from mthe head. Feeding and raking care of dogs is another way of showing our devotion to Lord Bhairavar. The best way is to feed 11 dogs on every Saturday evening or daily (as per comfort of sadhak). The dogs should be feeded halwa puri (Indian bread with sweet dish), all problems gets solved automatically by doing this.
Lord Bhairavar is also known as Kshetrapalaka, the guardian of the temple. In honor of this, keys to the temple are ceremonially submitted to Lord Bhairava at temple closing time and are received from him at opening time. Lord Bhairava is also the guardian of travelers. The Siddhas advise us that before embarking on a journey, especially one that involves travel during the night, we should make a garland of cashew nuts and decorate Lord Bhairavar with it. We should light oil lamp in His honor and request His protection during our travel.
