Kaala Bhairava
- The Lord of the March of TIME

Kala Bhairava and the Shakti of Kaala (TIME)

Lord Kaala Bhairava is that manifestation of Lord Siva who oversees the march of time.

The inexorable march of time is inexorable only because Lord Kala Bhairava makes it so.

As the saying goes, time lost is lost forever. There's nothing more precious than time. So intelligent humans should use every moment effectively on the spiritual path. And those want to do this have the divine help of Lord Kaala Bhairava if they request it with sincerity.

Those who tend to fritter away their time on many a trivial pursuit should pray sincerely to Lord Kaala Bhairava if they want to improve their time management skills and if they want to make sure that they use their time intelligently.

Lord Kala Bhairava is also known as Kshetrapalaka, the guardian of the temple. In honor of this, keys to the temple are ceremonially submitted to Lord Kaala Bhairava at temple closing time and are received from him at opening time.

Lord Kaala Bhairava is also the guardian of travellers. 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 Kala Bhairava with it. We should light jothi lamps in His honor and request His protection during our travel.

The vahana (vehicle) of Lord Kaala Bhairava is the dog. Feeding and taking care of dogs is another way of showing our devotion to Lord Kaala Bhairava.

Kala Bhairava Ashtami, which occurs in December/January is an important day for worshipping the Lord.

There's a shrine for Lord Kaala Bhairava in most Siva temples. The Bhairava shrine in the Arunachala temple is very special. The Kaala Bhairava temple in Kasi (Benares) is a must see for Bhairava devotees.

The Kala Bhairava Ashtakam hymn venerates the Lord and is a staple of Bhairava devotees. Click here to learn how to chant this hymn and to get the text of this hymn.

May Lord Kaala Bhairava help us use our time effectively on the spiritual path.

Another Myth:

Bhairava is the fierce form of Lord Shiva in His aspect as the destroyer of the things that manifest in creation. Of His 18 forms, Kalabhairava is one. Kalabhairava means destroyer of time. In Hinduism time is equated with death, because death puts an end to the life and activity of a jiva, at least for the time being. Kalabhairava is usually depicted in a fierce form decorated with serpents and carrying the head of Brahma, which according to the Puranas was the fourth head of Brahma which Siva in His aspect as Bhairava cut off to teach him a lesson. Following is a prayer offered to Kalabhairava seeking his blessings.
