For Good times
To be successful in life more or less boils down to being at the right place at the right time. If we fritter away our time on useless pursuits and can not remember what we did then we are essentially offending Lord Kaala Bhairav. Time lost is lost. Wasting time is tantamount to insulting Lord Kaala Bhairav. If we are mismanaging time and wasting it on frivolous pursuits it is necessary that we worship Lord Kala Bhairav to help us better utilize time towards a constructive end. The direct benefit would also be that you will miraculously be at the right place at the right time when opportunities come knocking. He can bestow good or favorable time on the seeker.
The Shiva Sutra 'Udyamo Bhairava' denotes an instant upsurge in Consciousness. Our fixation with our perception of reality makes us miss instantaneous manifestation opportunities, which is the purpose of the chant. When we repeat this sound, we become established in an ability to change things in an unusual way.
'Bhai' will give You Wealth material; ' Ra ' Dissolve negativity and limited Consciousness will; and ' Va ' Creating things will keep. Keep chanting the syllables. Say the sounds 8 times a day of 1 minute each, anytime of the day or evening. This sacred sound will serve as a reminder that every second counts, and enable you to focus and utilize time effectively.
Who can benefit from Lord kaala Bhairav worship:
- Inability to think or act constructively with the end result being that every activity results in wasting time (mental paralysis is what I would call it)
- Students spending lot of time in their education still not able to read anything constructively and unable to score.
- Those working spending enormous amount of time to do the simplest of tasks
- Facing too many hurdles due to every task taking too much time to accomplish. Lord of Time is unhappy and hence every mole becomes a mountain. eg. If you are doing grocery shopping - some item on the list is unavailable and you end up visiting 4 stores on different part of the town and what should be done in 2 hours takes 6 hours.
Lord kaala Bhairav is the lord of time.
Kalashtami, or Maha kalaBhairavashtami, is the most auspicious day dedicated to Lord Kala Bhairava. Lord kala Bhairava is a manifestation of Lord Shiva. Kala Bhairava is the God of Time - Kal means 'time' and 'Bhairava' the manifestation of Shiva.

The vahana (vehicle) of Lord Kaala Bhairava is the dog. Feeding and taking care of dogs is another way of showing our devotion to Lord Kaala Bhairava.
