Kalbhairav ​​Jayanti

The birth anniversary of Lord Kalbhairav, a symbol of devotion, discipline and fearlessness, will be celebrated with devotion and devotion on 12th November i.e. Wednesday this year. Kalbhairav ​​Dev, who appeared from the anger of Lord Shiva on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha month, had restored balance, justice and religion in the universe. This date is not only a religious festival, but it also reminds us that the true spiritual practice is the victory of restraint, truth and faith over fear, ego and injustice in life. Worshiping Lord Kalbhairav ​​on this day gives courage, self-confidence and protection.

Story of Kaalbhairav ​​incarnation

It is described in ancient texts that once a question arose among the gods as to who was the best among the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. When there was a difference of opinion on this question, Brahma ji, claiming himself to be supreme, out of pride said derogatory things towards Lord Shiva. Hearing this, Lord Shiva became angry and from the same anger, a tremendous light appeared from his third eye and from the same light, Lord Kalbhairav ​​was incarnated.

Lord Kalabhairava was born to end the ego of Lord Brahma and establish balance in the universe. It is said that when Lord Brahma crossed the limit in his anger, Kalbhairav ​​severed one of his five heads with his trident. This incident was not just a punishment, but it became a symbol of the victory of humility over ego. Since then, Kalbhairav ​​Jayanti, the day of appearance of Lord Kalbhairav, started being celebrated with great devotion and devotion on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha month.

Lord Kalbhairav, protector of Kashi

It is mentioned in Shivpuran that when Lord Shiva declared Kashi as the land of salvation, he entrusted the responsibility of its protection to Kalbhairav ​​Dev. Since then he is considered the Kotwal and protector deity of Kashi. It is believed that unless a devotee has darshan of Lord Kalbhairav, his journey to Kashi is considered incomplete. According to tradition, devotees first worship at Kalbhairav ​​temple, and then visit Kashi Vishwanath and Annapurna Mata.

This tradition not only gives faith but also gives a deep message that before entering the city of salvation, it is necessary for a person to give up his inner fear, ego and negativity. Lord Kalbhairav ​​teaches that a true devotee is one who walks on the path of religion with restraint, devotion and humility.
