Importance of This Puja in the Durga Ashtami Mahamuhurat
The Ashtami tithi is dedicated to Adi Shakti Maa Durga. It is called Durgashtami. This Ashtami tithi is also dedicated to Baba Kaalbhairav, the avatar of Mahadev, who is also called the controller of the Grahs. That is why Ashtami is celebrated in both forms, as Kalashtami and as Durgashtami. On this Mahamuhurat, the combined sadhana of Maa Durga and Kaalbhairav is considered very fruitful. The different forms of Maa Durga and Mahadev are considered to destroy the different kinds of dangers, troubles and obstacles that come in our lives. On this supreme tithi, if a combined anushthan of Maa Baglamukhi, Lord Kaal Bhairav and the Rudra avatar Sankat Mochan Hanuman is done, we may receive the blessing of freedom from hidden enemies, tantra badha and all the troubles of life at once. It is believed that by the combined grace of these Tri-Shaktis, an unbreakable raksha kavach is created around the family.

Glory of Maa Baglamukhi, Kaal Bhairav and Sankat Mochan Hanuman
In the scriptures, Maa Baglamukhi is called the 8th power of the Das Mahavidyas, “Brahmastra-roopini.” According to legend, when the demon Madanasur received a boon from Brahma Ji that every word he spoke would come true, he caused destruction with his vak-siddhi. He would burn sages and kings to ash just by speaking. Then, at the call of the Devtas, Maa Pitambara Maa Baglamukhi appeared, and just as Madanasur opened his mouth to attack the Devi, Maa Baglamukhi pulled out his tongue, did the “stambhan” (paralysis) of his power, and ended him with her mace. This same stambhan miracle of the Mata still ties down the tongue and evil thinking of enemies, court cases and opponents today.
Lord Kaal Bhairav is the fifth and one of the most fierce Rudra avatars of Lord Shiv. He is considered the “controller of Kaal, that is, time and the movement of the Grahs,” the “destroyer of fear” and the “supreme Dandnayak (enforcer of justice) of the universe.” According to legend, when the movement of the nine Grahs went wrong in the universe and the cruel effect of Rahu-Ketu grew, terror of the evil eye, ghosts and spirits, and terrible tantra-badha spread everywhere. Suffering from this, the Devtas went to Lord Shiv for shelter. On Mahadev’s command, to destroy the troubles, Lord Kaal Bhairav, the fierce form of Lord Shiv, appeared, and with just one roar of his, all negative powers and pret badhas ran away trembling. Seeing Kaal Bhairav’s fierce speed, all the Navagrahs, including Shani Dev, surrendered at his feet and gave their word that any devotee who comes to Baba Bhairav’s shelter will be freed from Grah pain and the evil eye forever.
Sankat Mochan Hanuman is also the 11th Rudra avatar of Lord Shiv and the remover of all troubles. Even in removing the troubles of Lord Shri Hari Vishnu’s Ram avatar, Mahavir Hanuman was always at the front. Whether it was finding Mata Sita or saving brother Lakshman’s life, Bajrang Bali removed all of Prabhu Shri Ram’s troubles. It is believed that worship of Hanuman Ji removes all troubles.

“नासै रोग हरै सब पीरा, जपत निरंतर हनुमत बीरा.”

Meaning: That is, a person who constantly remembers the name of Hanuman Ji is quickly freed from all illness, sorrow, the obstacles of ghosts and spirits, and mental stress.
