🚩Why is the worship of Kaal Bhairav on Kalashtami extremely powerful?👇
Meaning and importance of 4 Prahar ⏳🕉️
Kalashtami is an important festival celebrated in Hinduism because it marks the birth of Baba Bhairav. According to the Puranas, Baba Kaal Bhairav is a fierce form of Lord Shiva who controls the cycle of time. It is believed that devotees who worship Baba Kaal Bhairav on this auspicious day remain protected from negative forces. Kaal Bhairav holds a special place in Kashi. According to legends, once Brahma ji, in his pride, considered himself supreme. To rid him of his arrogance, Lord Shiva took the form of Kaal Bhairav and cut off one of Brahma’s heads, symbolizing the destruction of pride. As a result, Kaal Bhairav incurred the sin of Brahma-hatya, and on the advice of Lord Vishnu, he began wandering with Brahma's head in his hand to free himself from this sin. This journey is called Kapala Bhiksha, which symbolizes deep repentance and humility, as he wandered with an empty skull. Finally, the skull fell from his hand in Kashi, where he was freed from the sin. It was then declared that Kaal Bhairav had conquered the cycle of time, and his name would be Kaal Bhairav, who would protect the city as the Kotwal of Kashi. Thus, Kaal Bhairav is worshipped as the deity who liberates from the sins of life and the suffering of all past lives.
The worship performed during the 4 Prahar Kaal Bhairav Abhishek includes Sringar Sewa, Khappar Sewa, and Bhog Sewa, which are considered highly auspicious for receiving Baba Kaal Bhairav’s blessings. This worship performed during the 4 Prahars represents the symbolism of Kaal Bhairav’s cycle of time. The Sringar Sewa involves adorning Kaal Bhairav with jewelry, honoring his supreme authority. The Khappar Sewa, which includes the symbol of the skull, is an offering to Kaal Bhairav’s humility and penance. Finally, the Bhog Sewa involves the offering of sacred food, symbolizing the devotion and fulfillment of the devotees’ wishes. This grand puja will be performed at the renowned Adi Kaal Bhairav Temple in Kashi. It is believed that participating in these sacred rituals helps cleanse sins accumulated over seven lifetimes and removes negative energies. You, too, can be a part of this divine puja through Sri Mandir and receive the divine blessings of Kaal Bhairav.

 In Sanatan Dharma, Kalashtami is a highly revered festival celebrated on the Ashtami Tithi (eighth day) of the Krishna Paksha every month. On this sacred day, devotees worship Lord Bhairav, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva, along with Lord Hanuman and Maa Kali, seeking their blessings for Sampoorna Raksha (complete protection). The combined divine energies of these deities create an unparalleled shield against negative forces and hidden dangers. Throughout history, devotees have turned to these powerful protectors for courage, strength, and the ability to overcome life’s challenges. Lord Hanuman, Lord Bhairav, and Maa Kali each embody unique attributes that inspire fearlessness, dispel darkness, and ensure victory over evil, making their worship on Kalashtami a source of immense spiritual strength and protection.

Lord Bhairav: The Guardian of Kashi

As a fierce form of Lord Shiva, Lord Bhairav is venerated for his role as the ultimate protector against fear and harm. His origin is tied to a divine act of justice when he punished Lord Brahma for falsehood by severing his fifth head. To atone for the sin of Brahmahatya, Bhairav wandered the earth until his liberation in Kashi, where he became the Kotwal (guardian) of the sacred city. Worshipping Lord Bhairav on Kalashtami is believed to dispel fears, remove negative energies, and safeguard devotees from misfortune.

Lord Hanuman: The Embodiment of Strength and Devotion

Known as Sankatmochan, Lord Hanuman is a symbol of unshakable devotion, divine strength, and intelligence. His pivotal role in the Ramayana, especially during Lord Rama’s battle against Ravan, highlights his unwavering courage and ability to overcome even the most overwhelming challenges. Hanuman Ji’s leap across the ocean to deliver hope to Sita Devi is a testament to his boundless determination. Worshipping Lord Hanuman on Kalashtami is believed to grant devotees his divine strength, courage, and unwavering protection from adversities.

Maa Kali: The Destroyer of Evil

Maa Kali’s fierce energy is the ultimate weapon against evil forces. Her decisive intervention during the battle against the demon Raktabija—whose blood gave rise to more demons—saved the gods from destruction. By consuming his blood before it touched the ground, Maa Kali ensured his defeat. Her worship on Kalashtami invokes her protective energy to annihilate negativity, remove hidden obstacles, and empower devotees with courage and confidence.

To honour the divine powers of these protectors, Shri Hanuman, Bhairav, and Maha Kali Sampoorna Suraksha Maha Yagya will be conducted at the Shaktipeeth Kalighat Temple in Kolkata on this Kalashtami. This grand Yagya seeks blessings for strength, protection, and victory over life’s challenges.

For Protection from Challenges and Misfortunes in Life

Kaal Bhairav Midnight Puja and Abhishek

Could it be that planetary doshas in your kundali are causing unfavorable conditions? 🔮✨

Sunday is considered especially auspicious for the worship of Baba Bhairav, as he is the ruler of the Navagrahas (nine planets) and the lord of time (Kaal). When the malefic effects of Rahu, Ketu, Shani, and Mars create obstacles in life, the blessings of Martand Bhairav can help pacify these planetary doshas. Martand Bhairav is a divine form of Lord Bhairav, associated with the energy and radiance of Surya Dev (the Sun God). The word Martand itself symbolizes the brilliant form of the Sun, representing life force and divine illumination. Lord Bhairav, on the other hand, is considered the fierce and protective form of Lord Shiva, who not only destroys evil forces but also grants spiritual strength and protection from negative energies to his devotees. When these two powerful forces— the Sun’s energy and Bhairav’s might—come together, this worship becomes one of the most effective ways to bring positive transformations in life and remove planetary afflictions. Therefore, this ritual is highly beneficial for those suffering from planetary doshas in their horoscope, such as Navagraha dosha, Kaal Sarp dosha, Pitru dosha, or the adverse effects of Shani’s Saade Saati and Rahu-Ketu’s unfavorable periods. 

For this reason, on the auspicious day of Sunday, a special Martand Bhairav Pujan, Aditya Hridaya Stotra Path and Navagraha Shanti Yagya are being organized at the Shri Vikrant Bhairav Temple in Ujjain. This sacred ritual is performed to pacify the Navagrahas, helping to remove planetary obstacles and pave the way for success, prosperity, and progress in life. The Aditya Hridaya Stotra is a powerful hymn dedicated to Lord Surya, which not only balances the Navagrahas but also enhances mental and physical energy. Meanwhile, the Navagraha Shanti Yagya invokes the blessings of all nine planets, leading to the rise of fortune and the elimination of life’s difficulties. If you are also facing struggles due to planetary doshas and wish to overcome these negative influences to lead a life of success and peace, participate in this divine ritual through Sri Mandir and receive the blessings of Martand Bhairav to bring positive changes in your life.
