Bhairava, Lord Shiva’s awful manifestation, is the supreme Tantrika deity. Bhairava is beyond present, past and future which emerge from within him and terminate into him. He is hence also Kala Bhairava – Bhairava beyond time. In this strange innovation Bhairava has fire emitting eyes, a serpent with mouths on both ends comprising his lips and two other serpents framing his head. Meditating on this form of Shiva the Tantrika transcends time and the timed world.
