Sri Bhairavaya namah

 

Dear Sadhaka

 

Kasi,Varanasi

 

this remains me of the Repeated Tragedies that happened to the most pious Place

on Earth. Lets not go into those details.

 

The Kshetra palaka deity KALA Bhairava is unique of kasi Kshetra. there are 8

bhairavas in 8 directions of kasi and they protect Kasi from all the directions.

As we all know that one needs the permission of the Great Kala Bhairava to enter

Kasi Kshetra that including even Death.

 

these are few places of Bhariavas

mentioned by Sri Sidheswarananada Swamy

1 Asitanga Bhairava - Near Mrutyunjaya temple, dara nagar ,

beside Dhanvantari kupam

2 Ruru Bhairava - Near Hanuman Ghat

3 Chanda Bhairava - Near Durga mandir

4 Krodha Bhairava - Near kamakshi Mandir

5 unmatha Bhairava - Inside Vatuka Bhairava Mandir

6 kapal Bhairava - laat Bhairava in raj Ghat

7 Bhishana Bhairava - Bhoota Bhairava near Kali mandir

8 Samhara Bhairava - gaya Ghat, patan darvaja hanuman mandir

 

along with these

01 Vatuka Bhairava - Near Kamakshi Mandir

02 Rudra Bhairava - Durga Mandir

03 kedara Bhairava - Kedareswara Mandir

04 Astanga Bhairava - Near Surya kund

05 Asa Bhairava - Asa Bhairava road

06 KALA Bhairava - The Famous and Primary Abode

07 Ananda Bhairava - RamGhat, Near Sanga veda vidyalaya

08 Bindu Bhairava - Pancha ganga ghat, Near bindu Madhav Mandir

09 Nritya Bhairava - meer Ghat vridh Aditya mandir

10 Avimukta Bhairava - rajgalli near dundi mandir

11 danda pani - Back side of Kala Bhairava Mandir

 

and

Keeni ram Aghori Asram near Harishchandra Ghat

It's Believed that maata Hingulaa devi of Beluchistan has been installed as a

blessing to the great Keeniram Aghori

Kasi yathra as far as I know a has two mathods

People from south first go to Rameswaram temple, perform Saikatha linga pooja

i.e right in the sea shore  with the help of a Sasthrigal make a saikatha linga

i.e linga made of sea sand and perform pooja for it and do all other poojas and

rituals connected with like taking bath in 21 wells offer worship at Rameswara

swamy temple etc.Then this saikatha linga is taken to Allahabad Triveni

sangamam. This Saikatha linga is immersed at Triveni sangamam and holy water is

taken at that place.From Allahabad one goes to Kasi . After worshipping at  Kasi

Viswanatha and various siva temples and annapoorneswari temple one goes to Kala

Bairava temple and offer worship here. Generally Black threada " Kasi Kayaru " in

Tamil and " Kasi dharam " in Telugu are offered to Kala bhairava . The poojari

gives it back to the devotte. this is tied in right hand as Raksha. Visit to

Kala Bhairava temple is MUST. One other temple which is considered Must is Sri

Gowdi Mathaa

temple.Here one offers Gowdi that is sOzhi in tamil. The story is that one lady

had done some blunder  invited papams and as she sought  remedial measure

repenting her papa karma God gave her a boon saying that whoever visits Kasi but

does not visit nor strike  her idol with that number fo Gowdis for the number of

days they stay at Kasi their punya Karma will come to her and her papa karmas

will be accordingly reduced.

Since this is a moksha kshethra  people perform Srardha rites to their fore

fathers. Taking bath at several Ghats is considered a MUST.

People then go to Gaya and again perform srardha rites.

For people from South the Kasi yathra is not complete with just a visit to Kasi.

THe HOLY Ganga water taken from various places inculding one from TRiveni

sangamam is brought home and Pooja is offered for it

THen one again goes to Rameswaram with the Holy water taken at triveni sangamam

.. Abhishekam is done to the linga installed by rama with this water.

this completes the Kasi Yathra for people from south.

The reverse process is followed by people from north

i.e Kasi  -- Rameswaram-- Kasi

It is believed that taking one's parents to Kasi and making them perform srardha

for their parents an dfore fathers is considered as punyam.

 

I have given only the general outline. Erudite scholars will detail more.

Dear raghavender,

 

Shri Rambhatla Perrayya Sastry (our distant relative) has published a voluminous

book in telugu by name *KASI RAHASYAM*. It is available in Gopal Publications

and Tagore Book House, Koti.

 

The secrets of kasi yatra are very elaborately given in that book. Just buy

that book.

 

regs,

sriram
