For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish Songs to Bhairava and Bhairavi | Macabre Elements in Tantrik Iconography as Non-Dual Sādhanā
Prior to our Hallowe'en lecture on ghosts in the Tantrik world, we recite a few hymns and poems to Mahākāla Bhairava and Mā Bhairavi (Abhinava Gupta's Bhairava Stava and the two Kālī poems by Swami Vivekananda) that feature similar macabre elements to make a point about radical acceptance, non-duality and overcoming fear.
