Kala Bhairava represents the
march of time. As the fierce aspect of Lord
Shiva, Kala Bhairava is the destroyer of all through destroying Time (Maha Kala). He oversees the march of the mysterious time itself, through which he not only controls human life, but also
countries and planets as well,ensuring the evanescence (impermanence) of all
phenomena.
Hymns on Kala Bhairava highlight
a truth; “Time is the most precious. Time lost is lost for ever.
Wise people should use every moment of time effectively. Lord Kala
Bhairava helps everyone to make one’s time useful.”
He is not only the protector of
the sacred place but also the deity of liberation.
The worship of Shiva in the
aspect of Kala Bhairava helps one realize the transitory nature of
worldly existence and make the most of the rare human birth to
realize Brahman, the supreme reality.
Kala Bhairavashtakam has been
composed by Adi Shankara, and Jagadguru Sri Shivabhinava
Narasimha Bharati Swamigal the 33rd Acharya of Sringeri Math.
Devotees offer vadesara,
abhisheka and even silver anklets to Kala Bhairava on ashtami tithi.
Kala Bhairava teaches you the
highest truth that your life is going to depend on how you relate to
time. If you insult time by idling it away, you will be cursed by
Kala Bhairava. On the other hand if you worship time, even a
millisecond will matter and bring you prosperity, victory and peace.
As a human being you think that nothing is going to happen in one
millisecond, but then the divine knows methods to change your life in
a millisecond.
If you are endlessly waiting for
things to happen and it never happens, this means you have offended
time either in this life or previous life All that you need is a
worshipful attitude towards time. You can fix the problem by
worshiping Kala Bhairava.

The reason I like the night, the dark, the quiet, the eerie, the wistful.
Om Namo Namo.
My sadhana is solitary. Who I am is solitary.
Om.
My Lord is here, the One who is outside of the circle of life, fierce, dark, the Lord of outermost cold and the innermost flame.
Others run. I open my arms to You, elemental and inexorable, guardian of the temple of my heart—I know you at last. I recognize my Lord, my true Self, my Ishta Devata.
Om Shree Kala Bhairavaya. Pranam. Namo.
You are the hidden places,
wild and unknown by any but your own
Om. Salutations to You, Kalabhairava, Shiva. I bow to You.
