Why Shiva Cut Off Brahma’s Head?

Do you know that when Shiva’s anger shakes the universe, then a form is born which is beyond time. Today we will hear the story of that form of Mahakal Bhairava. Hello friends. Today we will embark on a journey to understand the depths of power, anger and the end. A story you might not have heard. A story that tells what happens when Lord Shiva ‘s anger crosses its limits. We are talking about Bhairava, one of the most fearsome yet most protective forms of Lord Shiva. According to old stories, there was a time when the darkness of ego prevailed in the three worlds. And this ego belonged to none other than Lord Brahma himself. Brahma ji, the creator of the universe, started feeling proud of the world he had created. He started feeling that he was the greatest. He is the best. Once a meeting of the gods was held. All the great gods were present there. There was Lord Vishnu, there was Lord Indra and all the sages and saints too. In this very meeting, Lord Brahma started underestimating the importance of Lord Shiva. He tried to belittle Shiva. His penance and his renunciation were described as insignificant in comparison to his creation. How does it feel when someone insults you? Imagine when your idol is insulted. All the gods were surprised by these words of Brahma ji. Lord Vishnu tried to convince Brahma ji. He reminded him that Shiva is Mahakal. He is the lord of all. But Brahma ji was so immersed in his ego that he did not listen to anyone and this was not a one-time incident. Brahma ji repeatedly questioned the importance of Shiva. He had this misconception in his mind that he was greater than Shiva because he was the creator of the universe. He even said that Shiva is one of his sons. When ego exceeds its limits, it blinds a person. This is what was happening with Brahma ji. Finally, when Shiva’s patience started to wear thin, his anger started to rise. Shiva who is extremely calm and ascetic. When one gets angry, even the universe trembles. A terrible energy emerged from the middle of Shiva’s Bhringadya. Such an energy that even the gods were stunned to see its radiant form. From this energy emerged a divine being whose form was so terrifying that it would make the heart of the beholder tremble. Long hair, sharp teeth, radiance spreading in all directions. His name was Bhairava. Bhairava means the fearsome one who ends fear. Bhairava was a form of Shiva. Who was born to break the ego. The fire of anger was burning in his eyes. Trishul and sword were adorning his hands. His only aim was to destroy the ego of Lord Brahma. Bhairava found Brahma ji without any delay. When Brahma ji saw this form of Bhairava, his ego was shattered in a moment. He realized his mistake but by then it was too late. Bhairava cut off with his nails the mouth of Brahma Ji, out of the five mouths with which he had insulted Shiva. Brahma ji’s ego was destroyed by the cutting of one of his mouths. He regretted his mistake. But due to this incident Bhairava was accused of the sin of Brahmahatya. Because Lord Brahma was a god. Due to the effect of this sin, the severed head stuck to Bhairava’s hand and he kept wandering in the universe to get rid of this sin. Bhairava roamed the universe for many years. Finally he reached Varanasi Kashi. As soon as he stepped on the land of Kashi , the severed head fell off from his hands. In Kashi, which is considered to be the favorite city of Shiva, Bhairava got freedom from the sin of Brahmahatya. After this incident, Kashi got another name Kapal Mochan Teerth and Bhairava became the area protector of Kashi. No one can enter Kashi without the permission of Bhairava. Even today there is a temple of Kaal Bhairav ​​ in Kashi where he is worshipped. Bhairava has many forms. Kaal Bhairav, Batuk Bhairav, Mahakaal Bhairav ​​ and 64 such Bhairavs. Every form has its own importance. It’s my own story. He is not just a symbol of anger but is also the protector who protects his devotees from every evil force. Removes their sorrows. When we talk of Bhairava we talk of Shiva’s forgiveness, his power and his justice. No matter how big the ego is, its downfall is certain in the end.
