Kaal Bhairav Jayanti 2021: Legend And Significance
The term Bhaurava is derived from the term 'Bhiru' which means fear. This avatar or Mahadev is also known as Dandapani, which means the one who punishes. Kaal Bhairav Jayanti is associated with the fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva associated with annihilation. To teach essential life lessons to humankind, Lord Shiva manifested in numerous avatars and one of the avatars is Kaal Bhairav, also known as Kala Bhairav or Kalabhairav.
This avatar of Lord Shiva is believed to appear with four hands and teeth protruding outwards. He holds a sword (talwar) or a noose (pasa) or a snake (sarp) in one of the right hands and a skull (kapal) in the other. Also, He holds a damru (drum) and a trident (trishul) in the two left hands. This form of Mahadev is scantily dressed as is accompanied by a dog, his mount.
Legend has it that Brahma grew arrogant and took pride in being the creator of the Universe. Therefore, to teach him a lesson, Kaal Bhairav severed one of Brahma's five heads with his Trishul (trident) to punish him. This was done to teach Brahma a lesson that pride, ego and arrogance lead to one's downfall. So, Brahma also became a recipient of Shiva's curse that stated that no devotee would worship him. As a result, it is said that compared to other deities, Lord Brahma has only a few dedicated devotees.
