Chapter 5 - Janmashtami: The Judge of Kashi And His Judgement

Flames of fierce energy started to spread throughout Kashi that came from the body of the Kaal Bhairav.

The result of the fierce energy started to be felt in Kashi as well. The entire temperature of Kashi turned boiling hot which every human and other living beings present in the Kashi felt very clearly.

The water of Ganga also started to boil as well and the cold water of Ganga turned into very very hot that could burn anyone who will touch the water.

The pandits, sadhus, aghoris who had done siddhis clearly felt the living presence of the Judge of Kashi Shri Kaal Bhairav.

And so they all started to move to the place from where they felt the living presence of Shri Kaal Bhairav while chanting, "Omm Kaal Bhairavay Namah."

Before the Kaal Bhairav temple Kaal Bhairav in his angry fierce form is looking at the city of Kashi and uttered, "Adhesh Mahakaal."

These two words of Kaal Bhairav traveled into the Goloka and reached to Mahadev and soon a ray of energy came out of the Mahadev which traveled to Kashi.

The dark clouded sky of Kashi suddenly got cleared and in it the stars and moon began to align in a structur which soon formed the appearance of Mahadev.

Looking at Mahadev Kaal Bhairav folded his hands and bowed his head down and said, "Adhesh Mahakaal."

Mahadev shot an energy ray from his left hand into the mind of Kaal Bhairav and showed him what he had seen happened in Kashi and said, "Kaal Bhairav you are the appointed Judge of Kashi. And now under your jurisdiction a heinous evil has happened. And so now as the Judge of Kashi you will punish those criminals that have done these heinous evil."

"Jo angya Mahakaal."

After receiving his orders Kaal Bhairav took his leave as Mahadev vanished from there as well.

Kaal Bhairav looked at his dog and said, "Go and find those criminals."

The dog bowed his head and took his order and then it started to run to find the criminals and as he ran he started to multiply itself and spread across the Kashi.

Kaal Bhairav on the other hand was very angry and filled with rage but at the same he was in pain as well after knowing where and with whom this crime has happened.

In that pain the feet of Kaal Bhairav started to move towards the house where it all has happened.

Each of the steps that Kaal Bhairav has started to take towards the house of Karan has started to leave his footprints that are burning.

The air that went past Kaal Bhairav touching his body became dense and suffocating by the energies that are leaking from Kaal Bhairav.

Soon Kaal Bhairav stood before the house and when he waved his hand before the house he immediately got to know that this house belongs to one of his devotees.

After knowing the specific devotees of his Kaal Bhairav remembered how his devotees have entrusted the safety of their son to him.

This specific matter of remembrance filled more pain in the heart of Kaal Bhairav and when with his glowing eyes he looked through the thick walls of the house to see the matter happened inside he saw two spirits standing near the body of Karan along the pile of ashes.

Kaal Bhairav saw the pain and suffering of the spirits which just made him more enraged and at that same time at the border of Prayagraaj those murderers were going away when their car got stopped by the appearance many black dogs before their car.

This sudden stopping of the car made the criminals agitated and the main masterminds that is the uncle and aunt of Karan instructed their goons to clear the road ahead.

When the goons came out the dogs started to growl at them while taking the attacking stance by showing their sharp blade like canine teeth.

Together the dogs started to give a very strong howl which echoed throughout Kashi and reached into the ears of Kaal Bhairav.

It was the signal from the dogs to the Kaal Bhairav of finding the criminals.

Aftet hearing the howl Kaal Bhairav tightened his grip on his trishul and with fire in his eyes Kaal Bhairav transformed himself into a state of energy and then he disappeared from that place.

But what Kaal Bhairav couldn't noticed at that moment was something that is about to unfold inside that house.

Back at the goons who were trying to scoot the dogs away but all they got was failure.

The uncle and aunt of Karan instructed the goons after seeing this failure to kill the dogs and so the goons grabbed their weapons from the car.

Then showing the weapons they all gave one last shot to scare the dogs without killing them.

"They will not go like that."

A very heavy and powerful voice soon reached into the ears of the goons and when they looked in the direction of the voice they all saw a silhouette coming towards them.

Throwing the flashlight on the silhouette from their phones they all saw an aghori coming towards them which was for them but in reality it is Kaal Bhairav.

Kaal Bhairav walked towards the dogs and stood before them with his trishul in his hand and a fierce look on his face.

For the goons and the uncle and aunt of Karan the man with the trishul in his hand with ashes smeared on his body with matted locks of hairs is like a normal aghori who roams in the sacred land of Varanasi.

But for the dogs the man standing before them as the guarding and protecting them is the Kotwal of Kashi whose permission and blessings are needed to attain Moksh and even to set their feet on the sacred land of Kashi.

"Aghori take your dogs away from here. Don't make us repeat the act of blood and death on this road and paint the road in red with the blood and flesh."

A goon reeking of arrogance and evil roared like this before the Kotwal of Kashi while boasting about the death that they have helped and even done.

The goons laughed in the same arrogance while Kaal Bhairav remained silent and stared deep into the hearts of all of the goons and saw all of the crimes and evil the goons have committed in their entire life.

"The crimes shall be counted. The punishment shall fall. The justice should be served and the souls of injustice should get the peace."

Kaal Bhairav's voice was calm like soothing music but it was also terrifying as soul shattering.

And with these words the body of Kaal Bhairav began to radiate with his divine energy under which the dogs turned the extended arms of punishment of Kaal Bhairav.

And in a blur of motion all of the dogs lunged at the goons and began to tear their bodies, skin, flesh, organs while drinking their bloods and spilling what remained on the road.

Many sadhus, pandits, aghoris by this time have reached at the same place where they watch the divine punishment of Kaal Bhairav the Kotwal of Kashi falling on those who have done injustice.

"Omm Kaal Bhairavay Namah..."

"Omm Kaal Bhairavay Namah..."

The chantings of the mantra of Kaal Bhairav including the recitation of Kaal Bhairav Ashtakam resounded in that place.

The uncle and aunt of Karan where completely dumbfounded by the situation that was unfolding before them.

The horror of the dogs killing and literally eating and drinking the bloods of the goons before them hit like the most horrifying soul shattering nightmare turned reality before them.

And at the same time the divine chanting of mantras and the Ashtakam just made that entire place divine and pious.

While the dogs gave the punishment to the goons, Kaal Bhairav walked towards the car and when he stood before the car he just swung his trishul and the car which the uncle and aunt thought to be their defensive sanctuary just got dissolved in the form of black mists leaving the uncle and aunt fall on the ground.

Kaal Bhairav pointed his trishul onto the throats of the uncle and aunt and said, "Your punishment awaits you."

Completing his words Kaal Bhairav took his original form in which flames took the place of divine energy and radiating throughout the Kashi with his three eyes fully opened with the fierceness and anger dancing on his face.

On his command many souls gathered around the horrified and devastated uncle and aunt.

Each soul whispered the greed, jealousy and crimes the uncle and aunt had committed in their ears and showed them how brutal punishment awaits them.

The Kotwal of Kashi stood like the death before the uncle and aunt and he just swung his trishul which in one slash cut down the heads of the uncle and aunt from their bodies and killed them on spot.

The punishment is not over yet.

The souls roaming around them pulled the souls of the uncle and aunt from their dead bodies since they didn't wanted to come out.

"Take them and burn them in the eternal flame of Manikarnika ghat where they will feel themselves burning, reincarnating then burning and again reincarnating. The cycle shall continue for the entire eternity even after the world dissolves into the pralay of Mahakaal."

The souls immediately dragged the souls of the uncle and aunt to give them the punishment that has been given them to them by the Kotwal of Kashi.
