Agora Veerabhadra is a fierce and powerful form of Lord Shiva. He is the supreme entity who protects and nurtures the universe and all of the creations. Agora Veerabhadra is the master of action and the destroyer of negativity and ignorance. Invoking him in the sacred fire ceremony can bestow the devotee with protection from evil forces, confidence and courage, and the power to adhere to the path of righteousness.
Make the best use of the opportunity to tap into the immense power of Lord Shiva by conducting the Agora Veerabhadra Homa.
The ancient sacred Hindu text ‘Vayu Purana’ states that Archetype Agora Veerabhadra was conceived from the wrath of Lord Shiva to abort the yagna (fire sacrifice) of Daskha, his father-in-law. Daksha invited all the Gods to the ceremony except Lord Shiva, as he did not approve of his marriage to his daughter. However, Goddess Sati attended the ceremony out of respect for her father. When she arrived at her maternal home, Daksha openly insulted Lord Shiva. Unable to bear her father’s taunts, Sati immolated herself in the sacrificial fire.
To avenge the death of Goddess Sati, Agora Veerabhadra sprang forth from the fury of Lord Shiva and set out with his army to destroy Daksha and his yagna. In the battle that ensued, Daksha was beheaded. However, Veerabhadra replaced his head with that of a goat upon being beseeched by Daksha’s wife.
