Veerabhadra Mantra is a divine tool to destroy enemies and groups of enemies. Lord Veerabhadra is a fierce avatar of Lord Shiva. Including Nandi, Bhringi, and Chandeshvara, Veerabhadra is also the Prathamagana of Lord Shiva.
Veera means brave and Bhadra means friend. He carries 4 weapons in his 8 hands. Bana (arrow), Khadga (sword), Dhanush (bow), and Khetaka (shield) along with attires garland of skulls.
He is so powerful that when Lord Vishnu threw his Sudarshan Chakra at him; he swallowed it. Goddess Sati, the daughter of Prajapati Daksh, wished to marry Lord Shiva, but her father despised him because of his peculiar attire of tiger skin and his constant company of ghosts.
But still, she married him. One day Prajapati Daksh did a Yagya inviting all the gods and his relatives except Goddess Sati and Lord Shiva. When Goddess Sati got to know about this, she pleaded with Lord Shiva to go to the Yagya, so he gave her permission to go over there.
She went over there and asked Daksh why he hadn't invited them and he said that he didn't invite them because he hated Lord Shiva. He insulted him a lot, which made Mother Sati angry and she sacrificed herself on the Yagya fire. Sage Narada told about this to Lord Shiva, who became angry.
He created two ferocious forms: Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali from his matted lock of hair. Veerabhadra was created to destroy Daksha and kill all his armies. Veerabhadra appeared so ferocious that his height was too tall to reach the heavens.
His complexion was as dark as the clouds, had many arms carrying terrible weapons, and wearing a garland of skulls. Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali represent the consecutively created energy of Shiva and Shakti in fierce form.
Lord Shiva instructed Veerabhadra to take all his army and destroy the Daksha. Veerabhadra went to Daksha Yagya with the gang of the armies. As the war began, he started chopping down the heads of the armies of Daksha. Veerabhadra also broke down the limbs of all the other gods and Rishis.
As mentioned in Skanda Purana, Lord Vishnu threw Sudarshan Chakra on Veerabhadra to kill him. But then, he was so powerful that he swallowed the most powerful Sudarshan Chakra. Finally, Veerbhadra chopped off the head of Daksha.
Lord Shiva could not bear the grief of Sati. He took the lifeless body out of Sati from Yagya and started roaming around the universe, carrying her on his back by neglecting his roles and responsibilities.
After the huge destruction in the Yagya, all the gods and Rishis went to Brahma to ask for help. Brahma reminded them that Shiva was the only creator of the entire universe and consulted them to make peace and harmony with Lord Shiva.
Brahma, along with them, went to Kailash and pleaded with Shiva to forgive Daksha and repair the broken limbs of gods and rishis.
Vishnu and Brahma both knew that an incomplete Yajna was impending and needed to be completed. They both went to Mount Kailash and Lord Brahma asked to forgive the behavior of his son and pleaded for his son's life.
The compassionate Mahadeva felt pity for Prasuti (Daksha’s consort) and restored his burnt head with a goat’s head. He also repaired the limbs of gods and rishis and made them original. Shiva calmed down and permitted Yaga to be completed.
Daksha then felt pity for his ignorance and invited Lord Shiva to the Yagya to complete it. In the presence of all other gods and Lord Shiva, Daksha ritually performed the Yagya. From that day onwards, Daksha became a great devotee of Lord Shiva.
Dhyana of Lord Veerabhadra
According to Shiv Mahapurana, it is believed that Bhagwan Veerabhadra resembles Parameshwara Mahadeva in appearance. Bhagwan Veerabhadra is infinitely strong. He has 2000 hands, each equipped with fearsome weapons.
His height is more than the 3 worlds!! Lord Veerabhadra possesses 3 eyes and innumerable great serpents entwine his divine body. Lord Veerabhadra's dress, features, and embellishments are the same as that of Parameshwara Mahadeva.
He has very long, terrifying arms. When he laughs, then the 3 worlds become filled with its echo. Lord Veerabhadra holds a trident whose luster and splendor surpasses the Sun, moon, and entire galaxy of stars.

Veerabhadra Mantra
"Om Veerbhadray Vairivansh Vinashay Sarvlok Bhayankaray Bheemveshay Hum Phat Shbhraum Shbhraum Hreem Kham Phat Ripun Phat Swaha"
वीरभद्र, भगवान शिव के परम आज्ञाकारी हैं और उनका रूप भयंकर है। उन्हें देखने में प्रलयाग्नि के समान और हजारों भुजाओं से युक्त दिखाई देते हैं। उनका श्यामवर्ण (गहरे नीले रंग का) होने के कारण वे मेघ की तरह प्रतीत होते हैं। उनके तीन जलते हुए बड़े-बड़े नेत्र और विकराल दाढ़ें हैं, जो सूर्य के तीन जलते हुए रूप को याद दिला सकते हैं।
वीरभद्र का रूप शिव ने अपनी जटा के द्वारा प्रकट किया था, इसलिए उनकी जटाएं सीधे ज्वालामुखी के लावा के समान होती हैं, जो भयंकरता का प्रतीक है। उनके गले में नरमुंड माला होती है, जो अपराधों का प्रतीक है और वे सभी प्रकार के अस्त्र-शस्त्र धारण करते हैं।
माता सती की मृत्यु के बाद, वीरभद्र स्वामी भगवान शिव के जटाओं से प्रकट हुए। उन्हें पहले रुद्र अवतार के रूप में भी जाना जाता है।
हालांकि, वीरभद्र का रूप भयानक हो सकता है, लेकिन शिवस्वरूप होने के कारण वे परम कल्याणकारी हैं। उनका मुख समय-समय पर प्रसन्न हो जाता है और इसका मतलब यह है कि वीरभद्र शीघ्र ही प्रसन्न होने वाले हैं, जैसे भगवान शिव।
वह भक्तों के लिए संरक्षक, विनाशकारी शक्ति के लिए अद्भुत एवं प्रभुत्व के प्रतीक हैं। भक्तो के जिज्ञासा हेतु यहाँ वीरभद्र गायत्री मंत्र, वीरभद् के मूल मंत्र, बीज मंत्र का संकलन किया गया हे।
वीरभद्र मंत्र पाठ के लाभ |
- मंत्र का बिना रुके लगातार दस हजार बार जप करने से त्रिकालदृष्टि, अर्थात् भूत, वर्तमान और भविष्य के संकेत पढ़ने की शक्ति विकसित होती है।
- यदि पशुओं या हिंसक जीवों के प्राणहानि का भय हो, तो मंत्र के सात बार जप से निवारण हो सकता है।
- मंत्र को एक हजार बार बिना रुके लगातार जप करने से स्मरण शक्ति में अद्भुत चमत्कार देखा जा सकता है।
- मंत्र का बिना रुके लगातार लक्षजप, यानी एक लाख जप रुद्राक्ष माला से करने पर खेचरत्व और भूचरत्व की प्राप्ति होती है। इसके लिए लाल वस्त्र धारण करके, लाल आसन पर विराजमान होकर उत्तर दिशा की ओर मुख करना चाहिए।
- वीरभद्र जी का मूल मंत्र प्रतिदिन जाप करने से जीवन के साड़ी कठिनाइयों से मुक्ति मिलती है। यह मंत्र दुश्मनों को पराजित करने और समाज में सुधार करने में भी सहायता करता है।
- इस साधना को हंसी-खेल नहीं समझना चाहिए। न ही इसे हंसी-ठहाके में प्रयास करना चाहिए। इसे आवश्यकता पड़ने पर और स्वयं या किसी अन्य के कल्याण के उद्देश्य से ही करना चाहिए। किसी को परेशान करने के उद्देश्य से करने पर उल्टा फल होगा।
