The Kala Bhairava Homam & It’s All out Benefits
Kala Bhairava Homam is an auspicious right to appease Lord Kala Bhairava, one of the fiercest manifestations of Lord Shiva, associated with destruction. There are Astanga Bhairavas who control 8 directions of the apparent world. Kala Bhairava is the supreme one and the ruler of the universal time.  
Tumblr media
Benefits of Homam and Mantra
In the scriptures there are detailed descriptions of Kala Bhairava Homam or fire offerings to the Lord. According to Hindu scriptures, Homam is the most auspicious spiritual way on earth to get connected with the divine beings. Kal Bhairava Homam is a great remedial service to receive the blessings of Kala Bhairava.
The Meaning of the name Kala Bhairava
The name ‘Kala Bhairava’ is derived from Veeru meaning Ferocious. Bhairava means the The Supreme Power who dispels fears and saves His devotees from greed, lust, foes and rage. These are all enemies of humankind as they all put hurdles before the mundane people who aspire for the blessings of God. There is also another meaning Bha or Va means ‘creation’, ‘Ra’ means nurturing and again ‘Va’ or ‘Bha’ means Destruction or total annihilation. So Bhairava is that deity who creates 3 stages of life- creation, nurturing and destruction.
What is Homam?
Homam is a fire ritual. Another name of it is homa or havan or yagya or yajana. In homam, the divine presence of the Supreme Lord is invoked following specific procedures. Various materials are sacrificed into fire, along with sacred chanting of mantras. It is believed that the sacrifices reach the specific gods invoked.
Tumblr media
Why Kala Bhairava Homam
Kala Bhairava has the power to tame universal time. He dissolves all delusions, anxieties, fears and negativities of mind. Lord Kala Bhairava makes one fearless. He increases total detachment and offers liberation.
Kala Bhairava Homam is very auspicious and expedites spiritual progress and liberation. According to scriptures, Lord Kala Bhairava comes into fire and receives the prayers of the spiritual aspirants. The Lord is being worshipped through internal fire of the spiritual aspirant and accepts the mantras via that fire of Homam. It is regarded that the internal fire is weaker than the external fire hence it is beneficial to worship the Lord Kal Bhairava burning an external fire. The practice strengthens the internal fire of the aspirant too.
Description of Kala Bhairava Homam
Kala Bhairava Homam is performed by well versed priests. Appropriate mantras and hymns are recited to energize the ritual and increase its efficacy. Ashtami is considered auspicious tithi to perform this Homam. Performing a Kala Bhairava Homam can help one overcome various obstacles that block the success and accomplish expected goals efficiently.
The ritual is performed based on the birth star of the aspirant.
Benefits of Kala Bhairava Homam
As per scriptures, performing of Kala Bhairava Homam can offer the blessings of the Lord in such ways:
Enhancing time management skills
Safeguarding against odd events
Infusion of positive energy
Paving the way to success
Improving financial status
Overcoming debts
Getting rid of negative karmas

What is Significance of Kaal Bhairav Jayanti?
Tumblr media
Bhairava Ashtami, also known as Bhairavashtami, Bhairava Jayanti, Kala-Bhairava Ashtami, and Kala-Bhairava Jayanti, is a Hindu festival honouring the birth of the ferocious and angry form of the god Shiva known as Bhairava. "Bhairava means "terrifying" in Sanskrit". It occurs on the eighth lunar day (ashtami) of the Hindu month of Kartik or Margashirsha. As all of the Ashtamis in Krishna Paksha are holy days of Bhairava, who is also known as Dandapani (as he holds a rod or Danda to punish sinners) and who rides a dog, he is also known as Swaswa, which means "whose horse is a dog," the name Kalashtami is occasionally used to refer to this particular Ashtami.
Bhairava represents the anger of Shiva. The narrative related on the occasion states that the Trimurti gods, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, were debating who was the superior of them all in a serious manner. Brahma's comments during the heated discussion angered Shiva, who gave the order to his ganor Bhairava to remove one of Brahma's five heads. Bhairava executed Shiva's commands, causing Brahma to have four heads after losing one of his heads. All the others prayed to Shiva and Bhairava, trembling in fear.
Another somewhat altered version states that after Brahma insulted Shiva, Bhairava (Kala-Bhairava) materialised from the enraged god's forehead, cut Brahma's head, and left him with only four heads. Because of the sin of killing Brahma, the most knowledgeable Brahmin—Brahmahatya or Brahminicide—his head was affixed to Bhairava's left palm. Bhairava had to carry out the vow of a Kapali, traversing the world as a Bhikshatana with the skull of the dead as his begging bowl, to atone for the sin of brahmahatya. When Bhairava arrives in Varanasi, a sacred city where a shrine is still devoted to him, his guilt is finally repented for.

Bhairava (Mahakala Bhairava) (Sanskrit: भैरव, lit. frightful) is a Hindu Tantrik deity worshiped by Hindus. In Shaivism, he is a fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation.[1][2][3][4] In Trika system Bhairava represents Supreme Reality, synonymous to Para Brahman.[5][6] In Hinduism Bhairava is also called Dandapani (as he holds a rod or Danda to punish sinners) and Swaswa meaning "whose horse is a dog".[7] In Vajrayana Buddhism, he is considered a fierce emanation of Mañjuśrī and also called Heruka, Vajrabhairava and Yamantaka. Mantra Om Shri Kaal Bhairavaya Namaha Weapon Trishula, Khaṭvāṅga Number 33 This article contains Indic text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks or boxes, misplaced vowels or missing conjuncts instead of Indic text. The historical origins of Bhairava are obscure; according to Ronald M. Davidson, he was probably a "local ferocious divinity" associated by tribal peoples with cremation grounds (smasana), ghouls and ghosts (vetala, pisaca).[10] He is worshiped throughout India, Sri Lanka and Nepal as well as in Tibetan Buddhism.
In Hinduism
Bhairava with his consort, Bhairavi
Aakash Bhairab in Kathmandu. Bhairava originates from the word bhīru, which means "fearful". Bhairava means "terribly fearful form". It is also known as one who destroys fear or one who is beyond fear. The right interpretation is that he protects his devotees from dreadful enemies, greed, lust and anger. Bhairava protects his devotees from these enemies. These enemies are dangerous as they never allow humans to seek God within. There is also another interpretation: Bha means creation, ra means sustenance and va means destruction. Therefore, Bhairava is the one who creates, sustains and dissolves the three stages of life. Therefore, he becomes the ultimate or the supreme.
The origin of Bhairava can be traced to a conversation between Brahma and Vishnu which is recounted in the Shiva Mahapuranam. In it, Vishnu inquired of Brahma, "Who is the supreme creator of the Universe?" Arrogantly, Brahma told Vishnu to worship him as Supreme Creator. One day, Brahma thought "I have five heads. Shiva also has five heads. I can do everything that Shiva does and therefore I am Shiva." Brahma became a little egotistical as a result of this. Additionally, he began to forge the work of Shiva and also started interfering in what Shiva was supposed to be doing. Consequently, Mahadeva (Shiva) threw a small nail from his finger which assumed the form of Kala Bhairava and casually went to cut off one of Brahma's heads. The skull (Kapala) of Brahma is held in the hands of Kala Bhairava, Brahma’s ego was destroyed and he became enlightened. From then on, he became useful to himself and to the world, and deeply grateful to Shiva. In the form of the Kala Bhairava, Shiva is said to be guarding each of these Shaktipeeth (Shakti temples). Each Shaktipeeth is accompanied by a temple dedicated to Bhairava.
There is another school of thought which says that Shiva himself created Bhairava. There was one demon by name Dahurāsuraṇ who got a boon that he could be killed only by a woman. Kali was invoked by Parvati to kill him. The wrath of Kali killed the demon. After killing the demon, her wrath metamorphosed as a child. Kali fed the child with her milk. Shiva made both Kali and the child to merge with him. From this merged form of Shiva, Bhairava appeared in his eight forms (Aṣṭāṅga Bhairavas). Since Bhairava was thus created by Shiva, he is said to be one of the sons of Shiva.
Puranas too give different versions of Bhairava. In this version there was a war between gods and demons. To eradicate the demons, Shiva created Kala Bhairava from whom Aṣṭāṅga Bhairavas were created. These Ashta Bhairavas got married to Ashta Matrikas. These Ashta Bhairavas and Ashta Matrikas have dreadful forms. From these Ashta Bhairavas and Ashta Matrikas, 64 Bhairavas and 64 Yoginis were created.
Normally in Shiva temples, idols of Bhairava are situated in the north facing, southern facing direction. He is also called Kṣhetrapāla. He appears in a standing position with four hands. His weapons are drum, pāśa (noose), trident and skull. In some forms of Bhairava, there are more than four hands. He appears without dress and with a dog. His weapons, the dog, protruding teeth, terrifying looks, a garland with red flowers all give him a frightening appearance.
In all Shiva temples, regular puja rituals begin with Surya and end with Bhairava. Bhairava likes ghee bath (abhiṣeka), red flowers, ghee lamp, unbroken coconut, honey, boiled food, fibrous fruits etc. If a Bhairava idol is facing west, it is good; facing south is moderate; facing east is not good. The right time to pray to Bhairavi is midnight. During midnight it is said that Bhairava and his consort Bhairavi will give darśana (appearance) to their devotees. The most appropriate time is a Friday midnight. There are eight types of flowers and leaves used in archana (अर्चन) to Bhairava.
Bhairava is the ultimate form of manifestation or pure "I" consciousness. This form is called Svarṇākarṣṇa Bhairava. He has red or blue complexion and is clothed in golden dress. He has the moon over his head. He has four hands, one of which he holds a golden vessel. He gives wealth and prosperity. Performing pūja on Tuesdays gives quick results. In some of the ancient texts he is said to have thirty two hands, the shape of a bird, golden complexion, terrible teeth, and a human form above the hip. Worshiping him destroys enemies.
Some forms of Bhairava are guardians of the eight cardinal points. There are 64 Bhairavas. These 64 Bhairavas are grouped under 8 categories and each category is headed by one major Bhairava. The major eight Bhairavas are called Aṣṭāṅga Bhairavas. The Ashta Bhairavas control the 8 directions of this universe. Each Bhairava has seven sub Bhairavas under him, totaling 64 Bhairavas. All of the Bhairavas are ruled and controlled by Maha Swarna Kala Bhairava otherwise known as Kala Bhairava, who is the supreme ruler of time of this universe as per some Śaiva tantric scriptures (āgamas). Bhairavi is the consort of Kala Bhairava.[24] The eight Bhairavas are said to represent five elements viz. ākāś, air, fire, water and earth and the other three being sun, moon and ātman. Each of the eight Bhairavas are different in appearance, have different weapons, different vāhanas (vehicles) and they bless their devotees with eight types of wealth representing Ashta Lakshmis. Continuous worship of Bhairava leads the worshiper to a true Guru. There are separate mantras to all the eight Bhairavas.
Bhairava is also called upon as protector, as he guards the eight directions of the universe. In Shiva temples, when the temple is closed, the keys are placed before Bhairava. Bhairava is also described as the protector of women. He is described as the protector of the timid and in general women who are timid in nature.
It is generally believed that worshiping Bhairava gives prosperity, success and good progeny, prevents premature death and solution to debts and liabilities. Different forms of Bhairava evolve only from Śiva, who is called the Mahā Bhairava.
Trika System
Trika and Kashmiri Shaivism names the Absolute Reality(Para Brahman) as Bhairava. The Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra is a key Tantra text of the Trika System. Cast as a discourse between the god Bhairava and his consort Bhairavi it briefly presents 112 Tantric meditation methods or centering techniques (Dharana). The text is a chapter from the Rudrayamala Tantra,a Bhairava Agama. Bhairavi, the goddess, asks Bhairava to reveal the essence of the way to realization of the highest reality. In his answer Bhairava describes 112 ways to enter into the universal and transcendental state of consciousness. References to it appear throughout the literature of Trika, Kashmir Shaivism, indicating that it was considered to be an important text in the schools of Kashmir Shaiva philosophy and Trika.
In Buddhism
Thangka Depicting Vajrabhairava, ca. 1740s. Buddhism also adopted Bhairava (Tibetan: 'Jigs byed; Chinese: Buwei) as a deity and a dharmapala or dharma protector. The various buddhist forms of Bhairava (variously called Herukas, Vajrabhairava, Mahākāla and Yamantaka) are considered fierce deities and yidams (tantric meditational deity) in Tibetan Buddhism. They also have their own set of buddhist tantras, the Vajrabhairava tantras.[34] According to Tibetan tradition, these tantras were revealed to Lalitavajra in Oddiyana in the 10th century. These texts play a particularly important role in the Sarma (new translation) traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, especially among the Gelug school where Vajrabhairava is one of the three central highest yoga tantra practices of the lineage. Because of this, it is also popular in Mongolia as a protector deity and was also popular among the Manchus. The deity is also central to Newar Buddhism. The tantric practices associated with Bhairava focus on the transformation of anger and hatred into understanding.

There are also the sacred twelve shrines dedicated to Shiva which can be found all across India including the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Varanasi and the Kal Bhairav temple, Ujjain. The Patal Bhairav and Vikrant Bhairav shrines are located in Ujjain as well.
One of the ancient temples of Kaal Bhairava is situated in Dhuri city (District Sangrur), Punjab. The idol of Kaal Bhairava in the temple was found hundreds of years ago. The temple has been managed by "Baba Shri Pritam Muni Ji" for many years. It is believed that Kaal Bhairava Ji resides here.
Gorat Kashmiris are known to worship Bhairava during Shivratri. The renowned Hindu reformer, Adi Sankara composed a hymn on Kala Bhairava called "Sri Kalabhairava Ashtakam" in the city of Kashi.
Observances
Bhairava Ashtami commemorating the day Kala Bhairava appeared on earth, is celebrated on Krishna paksha Ashtami of the Margashirsha month of the Hindu calendar. It is a day filled with special prayers and rituals.
Iconography
Rakta Bhairava Bhairava is depicted as being ornamented with a range of twisted serpents, which serve as earrings, bracelets, anklets, and sacred thread (yajnopavita). He wears a tiger skin and a ritual apron composed of human bones.[44] Bhairava has a dog (Shvan) as his divine vahana (vehicle). Bhairavi is a fierce and terrifying aspect of the Devi who is virtually indistinguishable from Kali, with the exception of her particular identification as the consort of Bhairava.
Bhairava himself has eight manifestations i.e. Ashta Bhairava:
Asithaanga Bhairava Ruru Bhairava Chanda Bhairava Krodha Bhairava Unmattha Bhairava Kapaala Bhairava Bheeshana Bhairava Samhaara Bhairava Kala Bhairava is conceptualized as the Guru of the planetary deity, Shani (Saturn).
