Conversation about Bhairava

Bhairava is a Hindu Tantric deity worshiped by Hindus. In Shaivism, he is a fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation. In Trika system Bhairava represents Supreme Reality, synonymous with Para Brahman.

Generally in Hinduism, Bhairava is also called Dandapani (as he holds a rod or Danda to punish sinners), and Swaswa means "whose vehicle is a dog". In Vajrayana Buddhism, he is considered a fierce emanation of boddhisatva Mañjuśrī and also called Heruka, Vajrabhairava and Yamantaka.
