My next thread on shri kalabhairava ji on his birthday

Kalabhairava is also called as Kotwal of kashi

He is protector and king of kashi

Most fierce manifestation of Shri Shiva
When pralya happened Shri Brahma and Vishnu argued with each other who is great

Then a beam of fire pillar aroused between them

Brahma and Vishnu decided to find start and end point of that fire pillar

When brahma couldn't find top of fire pillar and he lied
Fierce manifestation of Shiva came as Bhairava

5th head of Brahma ji was arrogantly said I'm the greatest and Shri Bhairav ji plucked 5th head of Shri Brahma ji
As per his Leela Brahma head stuck with his hand

Brahmahatti dosha too in form of woman followed him

He with his skull stuck in his hands roamed around all worlds

When he reached vaikuntha Vishnu suprised and Said these words to his wife Lakshmi
What is this Leela of Shiva that brahmahatti is following him ?

He is supreme destroyer of all
He destroys 3 world with his dance

He wore skulls of great rishis as his mala

Still his leelas are infinite

Pleased with Vishnus words kalabhairava praised Vishnu
According to advice of Shri Vishnu kalabhairava went to kashi

Moment he reached kashi he created kapal Mochan kund and washed his skull in kund and skull detached from his hands

Brahmahatti dosha too ran away screaming

He decided to stay at kashi forever
