Shri Bhairav Chalisa
Lord Bhairav is the embodiment of Lord Shiva, overseeing the domain of time. Time is an invaluable asset, urging wise individuals to utilize each moment effectively on their spiritual journey.
Bhairav, often depicted riding a dog, harbors a stern demeanor towards adversaries while embracing compassion for his devotees. He is typically characterized by his fierce eyes, sharp teeth, flowing hair, and a serpent draped around his neck, signifying his name "Bhairava," which conveys the essence of fear and anger.
In accordance with Hindu Puranas, Bhairav assumes the role of the ever-vigilant deity of the Kali Yuga era. Shiva Purana extols Bhairav as the complete embodiment of Mahadev. Therefore, to overcome life's myriad challenges, it is essential to immerse oneself in the profound verses of the Bhairav Chalisa.
"Shri Bhairav Chalisa" is a chalisa based in devotion to Lord Bhairav. One can get freedom from all sins by worshiping Bhairav Baba. In Shivpuran, he has been considered as the complete form of Lord Shiva.
