One of the fierce manifestations of Lord Shiva associated with annihilation is Kalbhairav. Born from Lord Shiva's toenail, he has a significant role in punishing Lord Brahma. Kalbhairav Jayanti, also known as Kalashtami, is observed on Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Margashirsha or Kartik. This year, it was observed yesterday, on November 27, 2021.
Chanting mantra for Kalbhairav
Some years back, I included a Kalbhairav mantra to my daily chanting list. I had an amazing experience at the Kalbhairav temple in Shringeri when I finished my 108 chanting. About two weeks back I thought that I would reduce the number of chants for Kalbhairav and Shakti to 54 from 108. In two days time I felt strong objection to this practice and I reverted back to 108 chanting immediately.
The message
On Kalbhairav jayanti day, I got a message from a friend, who is a Reiki channel.
I wrote to her that it was Kalbhairav jayanti and I have been chanting His mantra for some years now. So His presence must be exalted and it led to her dream, and thanked her for being the messenger.
It never ceases to amaze me how the Universe finds means to reach me the messages!
This indeed gave me goosebumps
