Agoramurthi (Agora means fierce) manifested to destroy the demon Maruthuvasura. In the Shiva system of worship, out of five faces or aspects of Shiva, Agora is the most ferocious form, who is unforgivable towards internal and external negativities creating misfortunes in life. Archetype Agora is also associated with the Pranamaya Kosha (Breath- life energy of your body). It is believed that Agora has powers to rejuvenate and protect you from negativities like chronic ailments related to breathing. Invoking Agoramurthi can destroy fear, surround you with an invincible protective shield, and help create a positive mindset.

Shiva Purana hails the warrior and destroyer of negativity, Veerabhadra, as an aspect of Shiva in a ferocious form and the commander of Shiva’s army. Shiva is said to have created this fearful form to destroy the fire sacrifice of Daksha (father of Goddess Parvati) and quell his arrogance. As the name indicates, ‘Veera’ means valiant and ‘Bhadra’ means a friend, connecting with the brave friend with sheer faith can give you confidence, vanquish all negative forces and increase positivity in your life.

Shiva Purana says that Shiva created Bhairava from his third eye. Portrayed as wearing a garland of human skulls and carrying a trident, Bhairava means fierce and fearful. Scriptures say that being a manifestation of Shiva’s anger, Bhairava has the ability to dissolve repetitive negative patterns that result in procrastination and lack of motivation and bless you with his divine protection and help overcome the fear of death. Another aspect of Bhairava is that he can help with instantaneous manifestation. Invoking Bhairava can help put an end to suffering, win over enemies, and manifest positive things in life leading towards progress.
