Hey Listners,

Hello,

In this episode we have brought Shree Kalbhairavashtak Stotram.

As per legends, Lord Kaal Bhairav took form when an enraged Shiva wished to teach Lord Brahma a lesson. It so happened that the male Hindu trinity or Tridevs – Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh aka Shiva got into an argument – who was the supreme most of all? Lord Shiva stated he was and therefore, Lord Vishnu backed out. However, Lord Brahma refused to quiet down. It got to a point when sages and scholars had to intervene but Lord Brahma would not back out! Enraged, Lord Shiva took the form of Kaal Bhairav who, in his wrathful avatar, astride a fearsome black dog, charged at Brahma and cutoff his 5th head.

Therefore, Kaal Bhairav helps to keep one’s ego in check. As he cut off Brahma’s head with his nail, the skull was stuck and is known as Brahma Kapala. This depiction is found in all Bhairav temples in India. He is kind and easily bestows his devotees with wealth and prosperity.
