Kaal Bhairav Jayanti 2025: Follow these 8 steps on Bhairav Jayanti to ward off negative forces and enemy obstacles from your life..

Kaal Bhairav Jayanti 2025: The appearance day of Lord Kaal Bhairav, the fierce form of Lord Shiva, is celebrated on the Ashtami Tithi of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of the month of Margashirsha. This day is called Kaal Bhairav Ashtami or Kaal Bhairav Jayanti. According to scriptures, Lord Shiva assumed the form of Kaal Bhairav to remove Brahma's ego and eradicate unrighteousness from the world. Devotees who worship Bhairav Baba with devotion and proper rituals on this day are relieved of fear, disease, enemies, and negative forces. A few simple measures taken on this day ensure the blessings of Lord Kaal Bhairav remain with you forever.

1. Light a mustard oil lamp at the Bhairav Temple
On Kaal Bhairav Ashtami, bathe in the morning and go to the Bhairav Temple and light a mustard oil lamp. Lighting a clove in the lamp destroys negative forces and brings peace and happiness to the home.

2. Feed a black dog
Bhairav Baba's vehicle is considered a black dog. Feeding a black dog bread smeared with oil it on this day is considered highly auspicious. This remedy removes obstacles from enemies, evil eye, and physical suffering.

3. Recite the Bhairav Chalisa or Kaal Bhairav Ashtak
Reciting the Bhairav Chalisa or "Kaal Bhairav Ashtak" with devotion on Kaal Bhairav Ashtami eliminates all troubles. This remedy is considered to increase self-confidence and self-esteem in life.

4. Perform an anointment with water in a copper vessel
Bath Bhairav Baba with water mixed with water, milk, honey, and perfume in a copper vessel. Doing so completes stalled tasks in life and strengthens the financial situation.

5. Offer perfume or cold drinks instead of alcohol
In some places, alcohol is customary during Bhairav worship, but scriptures recommend offering perfume or cold drinks instead. This maintains divine blessings and upholds purity.

6. Offer vermilion and black sesame seeds to Bhairav Baba
Black sesame seeds and vermilion are considered dear to Bhairav. Offering these seeds calms the effects of planetary influences, especially those of Saturn and Rahu, and enhances one's fortune.

7. Feed the poor and saints
Feeding a needy person, saint, or beggar on this day is a key means of attaining Bhairav's blessings. This practice provides relief from ancestral curses and financial problems.

8. Chant the mantra "Om Kalbhairavaay Namah" at night
On the night of Ashtami, sit in a quiet environment and chant this mantra 108 times. This practice eliminates any troubles that may befall your family and provides an invisible protective shield.
