Bhairava Consciousness rises upon the horizon of this age, unfolding like a flame long-awaited, now stirring in countless hearts.
Across the land, innumerable devotees engage in Bhairava Nāma Japa, invoking his timeless strength and unshakable guardianship.
The emergence of the Bhairava Battalion within the Army stands as a visible sign of this profound awakening— a reflection of the fierce protector whose presence guards every sacred realm.
For Bhairava is the Kṣetrapāla, the eternal sentinel of the land, shielding the righteous and dispelling all forces of adharma.
The Kamakhya Bhairava Kula reverently acknowledges the rise of the Bhairava Battalion
and offers its prayers that they may overcome all adversaries, uphold Dharma, and carry the victorious banner of Bhairava wherever they stand.

Wishing everyone a blessed Kalabhairava Jayanti.
May His grace destroy all Asuric forces and strengthen our Desha and Dharma for centuries to come.
Over the last three years, thousands of people have begun Bhairava Upasana across India and around the world. Its effects have already started to manifest at various levels and will become even more evident in the years ahead.
Bhairava is not only the Kshetrapala but also the Guru of the Tantras — and ultimately, the Supreme, All-pervading Reality — Parabhairava.
On this sacred occasion, for the preeti of Bhagawan Kalabhairava, Kamakhya Bhairava Kula is organizing multiple Rudrabhishekams and Abhishekams of Bhagawan Bhairava in over 20 temples across India and Nepal, including Kashi, Ujjain, Nepal Mahakal, Jageshwar Dham, Kapaleeshwarar temple, Kottai among others. Additionally, multiple Annadanams are being conducted at Vedapatashalas as well as in public places for serving the poor, and in orphanages.
May His blessings and protection be with one and all.
Jai Bhairava Baba!

NAMA 63, 64 & 65 of BHAIRAVA ASHTOTTARNAMA (108 Names of Bhairava)
NAMA 63
ॐ शूराय नमः
oṃ śūrāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the One who is heroic/valiant.
Remarks:
The word Śūra (शूर) means “the valiant one , being excellent in the battlefield".
In the Śatarudrīya of the Yajurveda, Śiva is invoked as Śūra :the Brave One .”
In the same hymm, He is called Dhṛṣṇu (धृष्णु) – “steadfast in battle, one who does not run away.”
Together, Śūra and Dhṛṣṇu express the ideal of unwavering courage — and having no fear.
Purāṇic tradition carries this forward through His victories over forces of darkness such as Andhaka and Tripura. The former, subdued and purified, was made one of Śiva’s own gaṇas; the latter’s triple cities were incinerated by a single divine arrow.
To call Bhairava Śūra is to remember Him as the archetype of steady courage — the one who neither flees from poison nor hesitates before darkness.
NAMA 64
ॐ हरिणाय नमः
oṃ hariṇāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the One who takes away the mind (of an Upasaka)
Remarks:
Hariṇa is derived from the root word √hṛ (“to take, to draw, to captivate”). It also can be considered as harati manaḥ, that which takes away the mind.
This word is etymologically similar to the Hara , which is associated with Shiva ( He who removes sins)
The skull (kapāla) he carries is indeed the mind emptied of ego —
the vessel of pure awareness after ahaṅkāra has been offered as oblation.
He “steals” that mind, taking away the limited, rational, restless aspect so it may merge into his own stillness.
He takes away the ignorance of the upasaka, and draws him to higher spiritual planes.
NAMA 65
ॐ पाण्डुलोचनाय नमः
oṃ pāṇḍulocanāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the One who has white-yellow, luminous eyes
Remarks:
The word Pāṇḍu denotes a pale whiteness—soft gold, faint yellow, or moonlike silver—suggesting a luminosity without heat, a radiance without restlessness.
The pale eyes thus symbolize pure consciousness (cit): clear, uncolored by desire, yet subtly luminous from within.
Pāṇḍu can be also compared to the moon’s gentle glow—cool, soothing, and reflective. Śiva, who bears the crescent moon upon his head, embodies this very principle: the mastery of the mind, its pacification, its containment within still awareness.
His white, tranquil eyes mirror this inner calm—the stillness of one who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless worlds yet remains untouched.

PAINTING OF EKAJATI TARA FROM 19th CENTURY TIBET
Ekajati (Tibetan: ral chig ma. English: One Braid of Hair), the principal protectress and guardian of the 'Revealed Treasure' tradition of the Nyingma School.
Black in colour and fearsome in appearance she has one central eye and one long white tooth, sharp, biting down over the lower lip. Her yellow hair flows upward like flames, twisted into a single braid. The right arm is held upward with the hand in a wrathful gesture, the index finger pointed outward and emanating the form of a wolf, she brandishes a stick adorned with an impaled corpse. The left hand upraised to the mouth holds a dark red human heart that almost conceals her single downward hanging breast. Adorned with a tiara composed of five flower blossoms and three skulls, a scarf of smoke encircling the neck, the ears and limbs are decorated with earrings, bracelets, armlets and anklets while a flayed tiger skin is wrapped about the waist. Completely surrounded by smoke and flames, with the right leg raised in a dancing posture she stands with the left foot pressing down on a prone figure lying atop a lotus blossom seat above a triangular throne decorated with nine human skulls.
"Arising from the mandala of suffocating black wind at a kalpa's end,
Mistress of a host of activities and pristine awareness,
Leader of the Mamos, Great Queen of the World;
Homage to the Lord of Mantra, Ekajati!" (Nyingma liturgical verse).
Ekajati is a principal female protector in both the Nyingma (Old) and Sarma (New: Sakya, Kagyu, Gelug) Schools of Tibetan Buddhism. In the Nyingma School she is the chief protector for the 'Revealed Treasure' traditions and manifests in numerous forms, often appearing with only one eye and one tooth, sometimes with only one leg as in the red manifestation from the Longchen Nyintig tradition of Jigme Lingpa. The different forms and descriptions of Ekajati are found in the various 'Revealed Treasure' texts of the Nyingma School.

NAMA 60, 61 & 62 of BHAIRAVA ASHTOTTARNAMA SERIES (108 Names of Bhairava)
NAMA 60
ॐ परिचारकाय नमः
oṃ paricārakāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the one who roams around.
Remarks:
Etymology: From pari (“completely, all-around”) and cāraka (“one who moves, animates”), from the root √car (“to move, to act”).
Thus, Paricāraka means “He who completely moves or animates all.”
Paricāraka Bhairava is the cosmic mover, the pulse that animates the totality of existence.
It is by His pervasive motion that the stars revolve, the winds flow, and all beings stir with life.
He conducts the universe in rhythmic order through the revolutions of the celestial spheres.
NAMA 61
ॐ धूर्ताय नमः
oṃ dhūrtāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the One who is the embodiment of cleverness and trickery
Remarks:
Dhūrta (धूर्त) means “cunning,” “clever,” or “gambler.” Applied to Bhairava, it signifies the supreme intelligence that outwits all cunning—the divine strategist who see through all falsehood and trickery.
Bhairava embodies the cosmic trickster, the one who plays with creation as a gambler with dice—yet without attachment or motive. Like Lord Kṛṣṇa’s declaration in the Gītā, “Dyūtaṁ chalayatām asmi”—“Among those who practice deceit, I am gambling”—he reveals that even cunning and chance are contained within the divine play.
Since Bhairava is the very essence of cleverness itself, no amount of personal cunning, shortcut, or trickery can impress or deceive Him.
Before such a deity, the only successful “strategy” is sincerity — the dropping of all pretense, the surrender of the ego’s calculated games.
NAMA 62
ॐ दिगम्बराय नमः
oṃ digambarāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the One whose clothing is the directions themselves ("sky-clad").
Remarks:
Etymologically, dig-ambara (दिगम्बर) = dik (दिक्) “the directions/quarters of space” + ambara (अम्बर) “garment.”
This description—having the directions as one's garment—is explicitly linked to the state of nakedness.
All of us, at different points, try to run away from reality—especially from whatever feels uncomfortable. To soften the blow, we create a story in our minds, a narrative. These narratives are nothing but cushions that shield us from the rawness of reality.
Bhairava is Digambara because He wears no story, no cushion, no narrative.
Naked to the ten directions, He stands as the raw, unfiltered embodiment of reality as is (satya)—wrapped in the vast void,unclothed by illusion.

NAMA 57, 58 & 59 of BHAIRAVA ASHTOTTARNAMA (108 Names of Bhairava)
NAMA 57
ॐ भूताध्यक्षाय नमः
oṃ bhūtādhyakṣāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the Leader of all Bhūtas
Remarks:
The term bhūta means “being,” “element,” or “spirit,” while adhyakṣa means “overseer” or “leader.” Thus, Bhūtādhyakṣa signifies “Lord of beings” or “Leader of spirits.”
Bhairava/ Śiva is universally depicted as the commander and presiding deity of the bhūtas—supernatural beings or spirits marked by their wild and fearsome forms. Their creation is attributed to Rudra–Bhairava, who, with Satī as their mother, brought them forth as reflections of his own untamed and primal nature. In some accounts, they are said to have arisen from the roar of Bhairava Himself.
These bhūtas are also his ever-present companions, forming his spiritual retinue (gaṇa) and populating his divine assembly. In mythic battles—such as the war against the demon Andhakāsura—the bhūtas, led by figures like Vināyaka and Nandī, fight alongside Śiva, embodying fierce devotion and martial power.
NAMA 58
ॐ पशुपतये नमः
oṃ paśupataye namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the Lord of all animals(creatures who are in bondage)
Remarks:
The word paśu (animal) has the origin in the root word paś (to be bound). Hence Paśupati is the pati (lord, protector) of animals , meaning Lord of animals/creatures.
In the Vedic accounts, just as Rudra aims at Prajāpati for his transgressive act, lordship over animals is conferred upon Rudra in that very moment, establishing him as Pāśupati.
Paśu denotes a “bound soul” subject to ignorance, karma, and material limitation, contrasted with pati (Śiva) who restrains, guides, and releases them from their bondage.
Its only throught the grace of Bhairava that the individual soul gets mukti and the doors to liberation are opened up.
NAMA 59
ॐ भिक्षुकाय नमः
oṃ bhikṣukāya namaḥ
Meaning:
Salutations to the ascetic or mendicant
Remarks:
From the Sanskrit root bhikṣ (भिक्ष्), “to beg” or “to seek alms,” arises bhikṣuka or bhikṣu — “one who lives by alms,” “mendicant,” or “monk.”
In dharmic usage, it signifies not poverty but disciplined dependence.
Bhairava severs Brahmā’s fifth head and incurs the sin of brahmahatyā. The skull adheres to his hand as a begging bowl, compelling him to wander the worlds for alms until the sin is expiated.
The vow culminates at Kāśī’s Kapālamocana where the skull finally falls away, marking the exhaustion of karmic debt and the restoration of cosmic order through penance embraced by the divine itself.
As Bhikṣuka, Bhairava reveals that purification and awakening arise not from accumulation but from surrender — to ask without grasping, receive without pride, and endure without agitation.
