This form of Bhairavi combining Hanuman – a Tantrika innovation, affords to the Tantrika two aspects of the same cosmic principle. Both Hanuman and Bhairavi are demon slayers and have been conceived as awe-striking, one carrying a skull-garland and the other a blood-smeared lolling tongue, but while Bhairavi feeds life on death, Hanuman promotes life by its own means. This synthesis of opposite – male and female negative and positive….is the pith of Tantra.
