Dear All,

 

I would like to share this video, for the people who have not visited this Jyotirling Mahakaleshwar Temple at Ujjain, but to get the divine experience one has to visit being there at the time of Aarthi is something which you can't imagine the kind of divine vibrations when being their inside the Garbha Griha...

 

Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar was worshiped with ashes from the cremation of God-realized Aghori's / Yogis who had left their bodies through the power of mantras. Now, this practice is not followed. The ash used for the worship is cow dung burnt in the sacred fire, it is known as bhasma or vibhuti.

The famous Bhasma arti is performed every morning from 4am to 6am, except the 2nd day of Mahashivratri.

Kaala Bhairava - The Lord of March of Time - Ruler of Time

                                        
                                               Mahakaleswar       
Lord Kala Bhairava is considered to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva. 
Kala bhairava is the Lord of the March of Time. The Sanskrit meaning of the word 'Kala' is 'Time' and ‘Bhairava’ is ‘Terrible’ or ‘Frightful’. 
Lord Kala Bhairav appeared on Earth. Mahakaal bhairav, the presiding deity of Varanasi and Ujjain, is incarnated to behead head-strong Brahma. The legend or the story of Kalbhairav and his divine avatar is mentioned in the Shiva Maha Purana.
Kaala Bhairav Ashtakam composed by Shri Adi Shankaracharya is devoted to Kaal Bhairav. Bhairav is a fierce form of Lord Shiva and worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists alike. 
Lord Kaala Bhairava is that manifestation of Lord Siva who oversees the march of time. 
 The inexorable march of time is inexorable only because Lord Kala Bhairava makes it so. 
 As the saying goes, time lost is lost forever. There's nothing more precious than   time. So intelligent humans should use every moment effectively on the spiritual path. And those want to do this have the divine help of Lord Kaala Bhairava if they request him with sincerity. 
 Those who tend to fritter away their time on many a trivial pursuit should pray sincerely to Lord Kaala Bhairava if they want to improve their time management skills and if they want to make sure that they use their time intelligently. 
 Lord Kala Bhairava is also known as Kshetrapalaka, the guardian of the temple. In honor of this, keys to the temple are ceremonially submitted to Lord Kaala Bhairava at temple closing time and are received from him at opening time. 
 Lord Kaala Bhairava is also the guardian of travellers. The Siddhas advise us that before embarking on a journey, especially one that involves travel during the night, we should make a garland of cashew nuts and decorate Lord Kala Bhairava with it. We should light jothi lamps in His honor and request His protection during our travel. 
 Kala Bhairava Ashtami, which occurs in December/January is an important day for worshipping the Lord. 
 There's a shrine for Lord Kaala Bhairava in most Siva temples. The Bhairava shrine in the Arunachala temple is very special. The Kaala Bhairava temple in Kasi (Benares) & Ujjain is a must see for Bhairava devotees. 
There are several legends about the origin of Bhairav out of which the most popular one involves the Trinity in Hindu Religion as described in Shiv MahaPurana. The story is that when Brahma who was originally endowed with five heads started displaying his arrogance as the supreme creator of the Universe, Lord Shiva assumed the form of Bhairava and cut off one of the five heads of Brahma. 
Lord Bhairav is also close to Lord Shani is also a part of Eshwara. Lord Bhairav, also like the Goddess Kali,is worshipped by Yogis and Tantriks to gain Siddhis. There's a shrine for Lord Kaala Bhairava in most Siva temples. He is a very easy to please and can be worshipped by offering Coconut, Flowers, Sindoor, Mustard oil, black til etc. Feeding and taking care of dogs is another way of showing our devotion to Lord Kaala Bhairava. Bhairava himself has eight manifestations, Kala Bhairava, Asitanga Bhairava, Samhara Bhairava, Ruru Bhairava, Krodha Bhairava, Kapala Bhairava, Rudra Bhirava and Unmatta Bhairava.
It is believed that Kalabhairava would solve most of the problems which are pending for a long time. Those who wish to improve their time management skills also may worship him. Persons having malefic planets in the birth lagna (time) or n transit is effective to reduce their negative effects. According to Indian Astrology worshipping Bhairav is also helpful for those suffering from the malefic effects of Rahu in the horoscope. 
 May Lord Kaala Bhairava help us use our time effectively on the spiritual path.

3rd Jyotirlinga- Mahakaleswar in Ujjain     Mahakala of Ujjain is known among the twelve celebrated Jyotirlingas in India. The glory of Mahakaleshwar temple has been vividly described in various puranas. Starting with Kalidasa, many sanskrit poets have eulogised this temple in emotive terms. The tradition of Mahakala in minds of the people is eternal Ujjain used to be centre point of the calculation of the Indian time and Mahaklala was considered as the distinctive presiding deity of Ujjain     The main deity, shiva in the lingam form is believed to be swayambhu (born of itself), deriving currents of power (Shakti) from within itself as against the other images and lingams which are ritually established and invested with mantra-shakti. The idol of Mahakaleshwar is known to be dakshinamurti, facing the South.   Mahakaleshwar temple at Ujjain is located near a holy lake named Rudra Sagar; it is three storied temple.   Ancient Shri Mahakaleshwara temple was renovated in 11th century. Delhi sultan Iltutmish, 140 Years later during his attack on Ujjain demolished the temple. The present temple is considered to be that of Maratha period. The temple was renovnated by Baba Ramchandra Shenvi, the devan of Sindhia state some 250 years ago.   The temple is three-storeyed. In the lowest middle and uppermost parts are respectively installed the lingams of Mahakalesvara, Omkaresvara and Nagachandresvara. The pilgrims and the visitors can only have the glimse of Nagachandresvara on the festive of Naga Panchami. A very large-sized Kunda named Koti Tirtha also exists in the temple-complex. The Kunda is built in the sarvatobhadra style   Night view of the Shri Mahakaleshwar temple   The lingam of Mahakalesvara is colossus. The silver plated Naga Jaladhari and the inscribed and esoteric silver-plate covering the roof of the garbhagrha add extra grandeur to the shrine. Besides Jyotirlinga, attractive and small-sized images of Ganesa, Kartikeya and Paravati can be seen in the garbhagrha.   All around the walls classical eulogies in the praise of Lord Siva are exhibited. The Nanda Dipa always remains lit. In the exit-path, there is a wide hall in which a most attractive metalquoted stone Nandi, in the sitting humble pose may be witnessed. The courtyard just opposite to the Omkaresvara temple add much to the magnanimity of the temple-complex. Just adjoining to this temple, there are two pillared projections facing the east and adding a lot to the architecture of the temple.  History of the temple: According to the Puranas, the city of Ujjain was called Avantika and was famous for its beauty and its devotional epicenter. It was also one of the primary cities where students went to study holy scriptures. According to legend, there was a ruler of Ujjain called Vrishabhsen, who was a pious devotee of Lord Shiva and worshipped him all the time. One day, a farmer's boy named Shrikhar was walking on the grounds of the palace and heard the King chant the Lord's name and rushed to the temple to start praying with him. However, the guards removed him by force and sent him to the outskirts of the city near the river Kshipra. Kings of the neighboring kingdoms decided to attack the Kingdom and take over its treasures around this time. Hearing this, Shrikhar started to pray and the news spread to a priest named Vridhi. He was shocked to hear this and upon the urgent pleas of his sons, he started to pray to Lord Shiva inside the river Kshipra. The Kings chose to attack and were successful; with the help of the powerful demon Dushan, who was blessed by Lord Brahma to be invisible, they plundered the city and attacked all the devotees of Lord Shiva. Upon hearing the pleas of His helpless devotees, Lord Shiva appeared in his Mahakal form and destroyed the enemies of King Vrishabhsen. Upon the request of his devotees Shrikhar and Vridhi, Lord Shiva agreed to reside in the city and become the chief deity of the Kingdom and take care of it against its enemies and to protect all His devotees. From that day on, Lord Shiva resided in His light form as Mahakal in a Lingam that was formed on its own from the powers of the Lord and His consort, Parvati. The Lord also blessed his devotees and declared that people who worshipped Him in this form would be free from the fear of death and diseases. Also, they would be granted worldly treasures and be under the protection of the Lord himself.     Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga   Shri Mahakaleshwar is the lord or king of the earth Out of the 12 Jyotirlingas only Mahakaleshwar is known as the lord of the earth and the lord of death.   The meaning of word 'Mahakala' is taken as 'Lord of time' and also 'Lord of death   In astronomical calculations Shanku-Yantra is an important instrument. It is believed that at the center of earth Ujjain, at the place of that Shanku-Yantra the Jyotirlinga Mahakal is established. From thes place the astronomical calculations for the whole world were done.   At the navel point of the earth south facing Mahakal is situated, the only Jyotirlinga of its kind. This fact has a special significance in the Tantrik tradition. It is among the oldest Jyotirlinga, extrolled in the Puranas. Due to these considerations certainly. Shri Mahakaleshwar is the oldest referred Jyotirlinga of Puranas. From the Shivapurana reference it appears that the temple was build eight generations before Nanda, the guardian of Krishna. Perhaps at that time the Jyotirlinga was established. The Shikhar of the temple has been high and the premises been large from ancient times. May Shree Mahakaleshwar lingam bless us all with health , wealth and prosperity Aaarti at Shri Mahakaleshwar Below are Some Other temples close to Shri Mahakaleshwar and famous temples of Ujjain     Mahakali Temple Entrance     Mahakali Temple   Mahakali - May Godess Mahakali give us the will power to always do what is right     Navagraha Temple, Triveni: Situated on the Triveni Ghat of the Shipra, the temple is located away from the old site of Ujjaini town. It is dedicated to the nine planets, attracts large crowds on new moon days falling on saturdays.   .   The Navagraha Temple is a small one, with nine square rooms set out in a 3X3 matrix, thus 9 big rooms with a swayambhu idol of each planet at the inner corner, the central room with an idol of Surya (Sun). The main door opens into the sanctum of Shani, and then we circumambulate the temple, viewing all the other planets through the open doors   .   Shani Dev Mandir: This is another new temple, inspired by the recent TV serial dedicated to Shani Dev – the planet Saturn. In these days of blatant wrong doing, it is no surprise that the most revered deity should be the one who is said to give one the fruits of their actions – good or bad. It is no wonder that people rush to appease the lord and hope for a favourable glance from him! The vehicle of Shani is supposed to be a crow, and so it is in all the temples of Shani but over here Shani is depicted on an elephant. According to the pujari, this temple has been built for the purpose of ridding people of financial worries, which are, of course, of prime importance today. Since the elephant is the vehicle of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, Shani Dev has been depicted here with the elephant as vahana. All the other Shani temples in India have the idol of black rock. Here, it seems, the idol has been made of iron, the metal most loved by Shani, hence the idol is more powerful!       Sandipni Ashram where Lord Krishna took Tuition : The fact that ancient Ujjain apart from its political and religious importance, enjoyed the reputation of being a great seat of learning as early as the Mahabharata period is borne out by the fact that,   Lord Krishna and Sudama received regular instruction in the ashram of Guru Sandipani. The area near the ashram is known as Ankapata, popularly believed to have been the place used by Lord Krishna for washing his writing tablet. The numerals 1 to 100 found on a stone are believed to have been engraved by Guru Sandipani. The Gomti Kunda referred to in the Puranas was the source of water supply to the ashram in the olden days.     Kund dug by Krishna’s Arrow       Kal Bhairav Temple     Kal Bhairava: The worship of the eight Bhairavas is a part of Saivite tradition and the chief among them is Kal Bhairava, believed to have been built by King Bhadresen, on the banks of the Shipra. There is mention of a Kal Bhairva temple in the Avanti Khanda of the Skanda Purana. Worship of Kal Bhairava is believed to have been a part of the Kapalika and Aghora sects. Ujjain was a prominent centre of these two sects. Even today, liquor is offered as a part of the ritual to Kal Bhairava Beautiful paintings in the Malwa style once decorated the temple walls, only traces of which are visible     . Mangalnath Mandir: Another temple close to Mahakaleshwar temple is Believed to be the birthplace of Mangal – the planet Mars – and is known as the Mangalnath   .  Bada Ganpati Mandir: This is a small temple right opposite the Mahakaleshwar temple, known for its huge Ganpati.   Ganesh ji Viraajmaan at Bada Ganpati Temple --- May Lord Ganesh remove all the hurdles from our life and fill our lives with love, joy, success and good health
