Kalabhairava
(Rituals for the deceased)
“We would like people to live blissfully. If they don’t live blissfully, then at least they must die peacefully. If they don’t even do that, we want to do something after they die.”
- Sadhguru

The Linga Bhairavi Temple is used as the energy base to conduct certain processes for the deceased. There are two options, depending on the cause and time of death. Each involves a process that is conducted in the Linga Bhairavi Temple, followed by a process at the Nirkaya Sthanam (an especially dedicated pond at Isha Yoga Center). At the end, a Prasad is prepared and given.
Kalabhairava Karma can be done within a certain period of time after someone leaves the body. However, another process called Kalabhairava Shanti can be done any time after death.
Kalabhairava Karma
This is a ritual for the deceased, done by invoking Devi’s Grace within a particular time span after death. It brings a certain ease and pleasant transition for both natural and unnatural deaths.
Requirements:
A photo of the deceased (while they were alive), a clothing item (except undergarments, saris, and clothes worn at the time of death). Blood relation of the deceased should attend the process, whenever possible.
| Death by Natural Causes | Above 50 years of age – within 14 days of the demise |
| Below 50 years of age – within 48 days | |
| Unnatural Death (Accidents, Suicides, etc.) | Above 33 years of age – within 48 days |
| Below 33 years – within 90 days |
Kalabhairava Shanthi
This ritual can be performed any time after death, especially when the deadlines applicable for Kalabhairava Karma have passed. This ritual is conducted on Amavasya (new moon). It can be repeated every month, or every year. (See our Lunar Calendar)
Requirements:
A photograph of the deceased (while they were alive), along with their name, date of birth, and date of death.
