Kalabhairava Jayanti
Thursday, November 29th, 2018
Kalabhairava Abhishekam & Pooja - 6:00 PM
Sponsorship - $51
Lord Kala Bhairava, a manifestation of Lord Shiva, is God of Time. He protects his devotees, removes all obstacles, cleans the soul with his sheer intensity and turns things around favorably for a sincere devotee.
Bhairava originates from the word bhīru, which means fearful. Bha means creation, ra means sustenance and va refers to destruction. Thus, Bhairava refers to the one who creates, sustains and dissolves the three stages of life.
Bhairava is recognized as the fearful form of Shiva. As a Lord, He is actually the one who destroys fear or one who is beyond fear. He protects his devotees from dreadful enemies, greed, lust and anger.
He is also called Dhandapani (as holds a rod or Danda meant to punish sinners). His vahana is a dog and hence also referred to as Swaswa meaning “whose horse is a dog”.
All are welcome to participate and receive the Lord's blessings
