Sir, thank you so much.
I began my Bhairava sadhana after watching your podcast in 2023. It was a very slow beginning — I started chanting Om Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha in April 2023, and by April 2024 I had completed only one lakh japa.
After that, it increased organically. By December, I completed three lakhs. In January, by Baba’s grace, I visited Kashi and stayed there for a week. One blessed day, I also had the opportunity to visit the Mahakumbh. The greatest blessing was that every single day I could go to the Kalabhairava Temple in Kashi.
After returning, I was unable to do vigorous sadhana for a few weeks. But after that phase, everything changed. I began performing the sadhanas mentioned for Ashtami tithis, as well as during Chandra and Surya Grahana days.
By Baba’s grace, I completed:
43 days of chanting Kalabhairava Ashtakam 30 times daily
21 days of chanting Ashta Bhairava Names 64 times daily
() lakhs of Om Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha
()lakh of Om Bam Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha
Currently, I am continuing daily with:
() malas of Om Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha
Kalabhairava Ashtakam 8 times
Ashta Bhairava Names () times and Kavacham  time.
I have also started the 16 Thursdays of Maa Tara sadhana.
Sir, it is truly because of your guidance and Baba’s grace. Trust me — my life has changed after starting Bhairava sadhana.
I offer my heartfelt gratitude to you.
Jai Maa Kamakhya
Jai Bhairav Baba
Jai Maa Tara

In this age of corruption and false ego of fake spiritual gurus , where it is very hard to find a genuine Guru. Just imagine, how lucky we all are that we have Sir Rajarshi Nandy to guide us step by step  in the comfort of our home as our Guru/Mentor.     Highly grateful to you sir 🙌🏻 and kbuf  team as well .
हर हर महादेव 🙏🏻

Been feeding 7dogs two times a day for 3years now.. Without any break.. Even when I'm bed sick.. I also treat them medically, sterilized them too..
My life has changed.. I just wanna say I haven't started it because I wanted something from baba.. I'm extremely empathetic towards animals since my childhood.. I never knew who is bhairav baba in the first place. But I always felt at peace whenever I fed any animals. You will always find dog and cat food with me.. I always know I'm gonna meet little angels. I try to make sure no animal is starving on my path. I faught alot with papi people who were against me feeding the dogs.. L
Let me tell you taking care of 7dogs is expensive but baba took care of it.. And he also took care of me... I'm extremely blessed by bhairav baba.. Most of the time I don't get time to do sadhana.. Loving the dogs is my main sadhana... So please take care of dogs, cats, cows, and also birds... Please.. I genuinely feel I've cleared my karma

its a blessing for india to have shree rajarshi sir..our whole genZ generation is blessed by him!! jay Shree Mahakaaleshwara bhairava!! om Mahabhairaaya namah!! Dharmo Rashati Rakshithaha...Jai bhavani!!

Yesterday Sadguru started his new year Darshan with kalabhairava chant immediately announced, Kalabhairava is picking up momentum in Isha foundation without any intervention. This year Sadguru is planning something big for Kalabhairava temple 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Does anyone have this thing..when they do naam japa or the batuka bhairava kavacham the mind grasps it so tightly it keeps repeating certain lines and keeps repeating for hours. Disturbs sleep sometimes too 😅

Jai Maa Kamakhya,  Jai Maa Tara.
Om Bhairavai Namah,  Om Batuka Bhairavai Namah.

So i had a recent accident and got my armed factured, so i feel its  bhairava's  belessing only  that im alive and the impact is miracolusly less.
Putting all my heart and love here, thanking bhairava who has saved my life.

Jai Ma Tara. Jai Bhairav Baba. May Bhairav baba protect the Hindus of Bangladesh. Dada , under KBUF we should do collective prayers for them for next 12 months. 🕉️🙏

To be finally allowed to consume the naivedyam offered to Baba is such a huge gift at the end of this year. Thank you, Dada. ❤

There are no stray dogs in most of EU. I will donate to dog shelter, hope it will count

Jai Bhairava 🔱🚩
May Baba Guide Us To Be Nimmitamatra to Realise His Will🔱🪘❤

Going back to the basics. The Aadhara. Joy Bhairav Baba

25:19 Just to mention,I have recently gone through this . To the extent that I made my mind to quit it and do some other devata thinking it not to be my cup of tea .. But, through baba's Grace or what I don't know ..I developed more strong willpower and continued for a week despite feeling extremely tired and sleepy ( boring ) and this commitment resulted in something magical ✨ and blissful.   Will not tell what was it. Just hope that never in future I think again of quitting.    

I shared this coz I believe there may be some people in the chat who think that doing any other devi/devata such as Hanuman, Krishna, Ram or may be Rudra is more suitable for them instead of Bhairava .   Just want to tell you, do not leave in between .. neither path is easy .. once make your mind that okay this is my go to ..and let's see where it will lead but I will stay committed no matter what .    Neither will bring magic , only dedication, discipline and patience as sir always say is the Key .   And, any diety can take you to spiritual goal which is best for you .. just make sure you have faith and commitment.           हर हर महादेव 🙏🏻

Thank you sir .FROM 2YEARS Iam listening to your talks. I am found of you r talks.

Hello sir, i have been doing bhairava nama mantra from 1 yrs and i had a habit of overthinking. i m unable to overcome it. I always think too much and i remain confused for most of the time.

I’m stuck in a habit of overthinking and fantasizing about how others—especially girls—see me. I crave validation, attention, and approval, so I imagine scenarios where I look impressive or ‘cool.’ I even overshare or flex just to get that reaction. When I don’t get attention, I feel lonely, and that loneliness pushes me deeper into these thoughts. I enjoy the fantasies(not sexual stuff, just heroic moments of my own), but I also feel guilty because they waste my time, mess with my self-control, and hurt my real relationships.  

And these things happen mostly when i remain in groups, i mean when i stay in a group of my friends at that time i m ok but when i reach home this overthinking kicks in. Mai wo sara situations assume krta hu jo kabhi hua he nahi haii like aisa ho giya toh yeh ho jaayga agar is ladki ko yeh reply de diya toh coolness jaayga, and yeh sara thoughts baad maii aata haii jb dost logo se mil chuka hota hu. Jb tk college chutti tha ghar pr tha unlogo se dur tha tb tk thik tha unlogo se baat krta he yeh sb hota haii. Aur mai apna he imagination world maii rehta hu.

🌺Bhairava is in everything around us.
🌺Bhairava’s presence is everywhere.
🌺All things exist by Bhairava’s grace.
🔱Om Bhairavay Namaha🔱

Bless you for advocating kindness to the Dogs. That is my #1 reason for supporting your organization. No other species has co-evolved with humans as thoroughly as dogs.
