Ayyappan Bhajan In malayalm

ശ്രീ ശബരീശാ ദീനദയാല മേമലവാഴും ശ്രീകണ്ടാ

ശരണം ശരണം നിന്‍പദകമലം  

പുലി വാഹനനാം അയ്യപ്പാ (2)

പന്തള രാജകുമാരാ  ഞങ്ങടെ

സങ്കടമെല്ലാം  തീര്ത്തിടനെ 

പമ്പാവാസാ കരുണാമയനെ

ശ്രീ  ശബരിശ്വരനയ്യപ്പാ  (ശ്രീ ശബരീശാ ....)

കാടും മേടും കാട്ടാറുകളും

കാനനജീവികളും  നീയെ

അഖിലം നീയെ ഭക്തജനപ്രിയാ

ശ്രീ ശബരിശ്വരനയ്യപ്പാ (ശ്രീ ശബരീശാ ....) 

മണികണ്ട്ടാ മണികണ്ട്ടാ

ശരണം  തരണേ  മണികണ്ട്ടാ

പുലിവാഹനനെ മഹിഷി  മര്ദ്ദനാ

ശ്രീ ശബരിശ്വരനയ്യപ്പാ (ശ്രീ ശബരീശാ ....)

Kalashtami or Maha kalaBhairavashtami on NOV 18

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. Ashtami after Poornima, the eighth day after full moon, is considered the ideal day to propitiate Kala Bhairava. In 2011, Kala Bhairavashtami is on Nov 18.

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.

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. 

There are eight types of Bhairavas and they are called ashta Bhairavas. They are Asithanga Bhairavar, Ruru Bhairavar, Chanda Bhairavar, Krodha Bhairavar, Unmatta Bhairavar, Kapala Bhairavar, Bhishana Bhairavar and Samhara Bhairavar. Apart from these eight forms there is yet another form called Swarna akarshana Bahiravar. Maha Bhairavar is said to be Shiva himself.

The Swarna akarshana Bhairavar has red complexion and clothed in golden dress. He has moon in his head. He has four hands. In one of the hands he carries a golden vessel. He gives wealth and prosperity.
