MYTHOLOGICAL ASPECT BEHIND KALA BHAIRAVA’s EXISTENCE


There was a time when Vishnu and Brahma got into a debate regarding the statement of who was the universal God between both. Somehow, this information went to Lord Shiva and he presented himself into an enormous stand of light that started stretching from both sides in the massive Universe. Then he spoke out that the God who reaches to the tip of this undying light would be known to be the mightier one. On hearing this, Vishnu shape-shifted into a boar and went towards the lower direction of the light but in vain. On the contrary, Brahma shape-shifted into a swan and moved upwards but never really found the top-most part of the light.

 

When both met, Vishnu humbly accepted his defeat of not finding the end of the light but Brahma took the chance and claimed to have found the top-most part of the light. As a witness of the situation, he also presented the ketaki flower. After listening to all of these, Shiva gets fumed that Brahma lied. Out of rage, he produced the Kala Bhairava from the third eye of his forehead. Kala Bhairava ripped off the fifth head of Brahma who claimed the falsehood. Brahma understood his fault and made repents by bowing down in front of Shiva. The fifth head which was separated from Brahma got stuck to the Kala Bhairava’s hand as he committed the crime of killing a Brahmin. This was a Brahmahatya Dosha. Due to this, Bhairava roamed from place to place to let go of the head. He went for seeking alms and the alms were given in the skull that got stuck on his hand. That is why he was also named Bhikshadana. At last, when Vishnu and his wife, Lakshmi filled his skull bowl with food, it fell from his hand, he got relieved from the affliction.
