Today, we have gathered here to do puja to Bhairavanath. I think we have not understood the significance of Bhairavanath who runs up and down on the Ida Nadi. Ida Nadi is the Nadi of Chandrama, is of the moon. So this is a channel for us to cool down. So the work of Bhairavanath ji is to cool us down.

Short Extracts
For example, people have a hot temper with their ego, with their liver, whatever it is, and if a person is in a big temper, then Bhairavanath plays tricks on that person to cool him down. He organizes everything under his own control with ganas’ help, with Ganapati’s help, to cool down your temperament, to give you a balance. So, if somebody is a very hot-tempered person and he crosses all the limits of his temper, then somehow or other, Bhairavanath will organise, also with the help of Hanumana, to show that this stupidity of anger is no good.
“You take Bhairava’s name. Sit with your left hand towards the photograph and right hand on the Mother Earth. And that’s how all your bhoots of negativity will go away”.
So today, I am very happy that we are worshipping Shri Bhairava because he is very much connected with Ganesha. As you know, Shri Ganesha is at the Mooladhara and while Bhairava moves onto the left-side and goes to the right-side [of the head]. So all kinds of conditionings, all kinds of habits, can be conquered through the help of Bhairavanath.
Shri Bhairava is the terrifying, ‘roaring’ form of the wrathful Shri Shiva, represented as a young boy, who guards the subconscious and presides over the left channel (Ida Nadi) until He carries out the cosmic dissolution at the end of time. In the Christian tradition, he is known as the archangel Michael and St George.

Some Information about Tanzania
Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, is among Africa’s most popular safari and adventure destinations.
Tanzania offers unique attractions found nowhere else in the world. It is home to many of the best and biggest parks in Africa, (22 National Parks) and some of the most varied and unique landscapes that you’ll ever see, from grasslands to woodlands, rock formations, and mountain peaks to the breathtaking wildlife plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five" game (elephants, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino).
Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain. The highest free-standing mountain above sea level in the world, at 5,895 m above sea level and 4,900 m above its plateau base.
​​Offshore lies the tropical islands of Zanzibar, with a marine park home to whales, sharks and coral reefs.
Tanzania is considered one of the most multinational and multicultural countries in Africa. It is home to about 150 different ethnic communities and tribes, each with its own cultural and religious customs.
