Kala Bhairava Jayanti 2019- November 19th Tuesday.
Kala Bhairav
Ashtami is also known as Bhairav Ashtami, Bhairava Jayanti and
Kala-Bhairava Ashtami. It falls on the eighth lunar day of the Krishna
Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Hindu month of Kartik. It is a holy day
commemorating the birthday of Lord Bhairava, the fierce manifestation of
Shiva. According to a legend the Trimurti i.e. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu
and Lord Mahesh were discussing as to who was superior of them all. In
the heated debate, Shiva felt offended by the remarks made by Brahma and
commanded Bhairava to sever one of Brahma’s five heads. Bhairava obeyed
Shiva's orders .Thus Brahma became four headed. Bhairava's sin of
Brahmhatya was expiated when he reached the holy city of Varanasi after
wandering throughout the world. There are many temples in Varanasi
dedicated to Lord Bhairava.
By worshiping Lord Shiva in the form
of Kala Bhairava one can get rid of all the misfortune. The devotee
enjoys all round success and is exempted from his sins. Lord Bhairava,
Shiva and his consort Parvati are worshiped with flowers, fruits and
sweets. Dogs (vehicle of Lord Bhairava) are also fed milk and food. Dead
ancestors are remembered and offered oblations on this day.
The
Shaivites take ritual bath in the morning and perform Puja. Devotees
fast throughout the day and perform Jagaran at night. Kaalbhairav Katha
is recited by the devotees. They also perform Bhairva Aarti at midnight
along with traditional musical instruments. A huge function is organized
at Bhairav Prasad Temple in Vaishno Devi every year. In Varanasi lots
of cultural programs and prayers are observed.
It should be noted
that Kalashtami fasting might be observed on Saptami Tithi. According
to religious text Vratraj Kalashtami fasting should be observed on the
day when Ashtami Tithi prevails during night. Accordingly DrikPanchang
makes sure that Ashtami should prevail at least for one Ghati after
Pradosh while selecting fasting day for Kalashtami. Otherwise Kalashtami
fasting day is moved to previous day when Ashtami Tithi is more likely
to prevail during night.
