Krishna Paksha Aṣṭamī — Collective Japa
Over 1,500 sādhakas worldwide joined the monthly Ashtami tithi Bhairava nāma japa.
The Kamakhyā Bhairava Upāsaka Foundation (KBUF) is devoted to the revival and resurgence of Śākta Dharma and Bhairava Tattva. Our mission is to spread authentic awareness of Devatā upāsanā and the timeless importance of tantra upāsanā.
We regularly organise collective sādhana on aṣṭamī and other sacred tithi-s, invoking the protective power of Bhairava for Dharma-saṁrakṣaṇa. Each month, we conduct pūjā-s, abhiṣeka, and annadāna in prominent temples and vedapāṭhaśālā-s, nurturing the spiritual fabric of society.
We also actively champion the protection of sacred kṣetra-s and the preservation of our spiritual heritage. Looking ahead, we envision the construction of eight magnificent Bhairava temples across the nation — each designed in precise configurations to channel the force of Bhairava Tattva, fostering both the spiritual and material well-being of Bhārata.

My life has changed 100% after i began my sadhana ... I as a person cannot even believe what i was before this journey began ... Only devine blessing inspired me to watch those videos of Rajarshi Nandy sir at trs.
Read their full storyI CAME TO KNOW ABOUT MR. RAJARSHI NANDY SIR THROUGH YOUTUBE 3 YEARS AGO. IT WAS INSTANT CONNECT. I STARTED DOING THE JAPA AND SADHNAS THAT WERE GIVEN BY SIR. THE DOOR OF THE SPRITUALITY OPENED LIKE NEVER IMAGINED. THOUGH I NEVER HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND LISTEN TO HIM PERSONALLY BUT EVEN THROUGH THE DIGITAL MEDIUM HE HAS SHAPED MY LIFE IN UNIMAGINABLE WAYS. THANKS TO BHARIAV BABA TO BRING HIM IN OUR LIVES AND GUIDE ALL OF US OUT OF THE MAYA. JAI BHAIRAV BABA JAI MAA KAMAKHYA JAI MAA TARA.
Read their full storyMy testimonial is about how the practice changed my life. Jai Bhairav Baba and pranaam to my maansik guru sri rajarshi nandy ji. "Home is a state of consciousness" said sir once.how true has that statement been or is in my life. Growing up I never had an anchor in my life that I came back to, sometimes a person, sometimes an academic achievement or sometimes a job hike were the temporary anchors that I came back to. Inevitably a lack of anchor in my heart and lifes unpredictable ways along with failure in dependant personal relationship brought me to a state of agonizing depression. 2022 was when I started meditating truly and 2023 was the first time I came across sir's name after my trip to kashi and since then keeping every bhairava experience aside ,what it has done to me personally is taken all of my emotional angst, grounded me, anchored me for life, gave me a solid support system . I did have some deep troubles even after I started my spiritual life journey with baba but In each of them ,everytime I remembered baba he filled me with uncompromising power ! Kaal bhairav ashtakam along with prescribed bhairava mantras of Rajarshi sir held me ,like nothing absolutely nothing could break me . It took away my fears , ofcourse like all of us there is moh or maya I do still have, but thanks to my baba - it is with very few things now in my life. Nothing majorly ,is more important to me now than sitting in front of my devata. Why ? So that- I know I am anchored,held and loved . Also, mentioning at this point - VISHESH SADHANAS by KBUF is a critical turning point in my life. I used to thoroughly enjoy vishesh sadhanas like one big grand festival ! It has definitely changed my life. To be an intense piece of life without running behind any goals ,to be home in my heart ! To know that life can break you but if bhairav baba is holding you- you need not worry about the damage! "A true devata will make you meditative" as said by sir is fact! To add to it - if someone is truly able to win even a little of bhairav baba's love -- he will even take away the physical pain one can have of a toothache or even a migraine for example. So I really thank, sri Rajarshi Nandy Sir, KBUF to make me a part of this beautiful experience.
Read their full storyMy interest in Shiva was since childhood. Over years the interest was wayward. Nothing concrete, I wanted to read and know about shiva more than do any ritual. I used to read books, nothing from the shastra, normal books about shiva. Then it led to videos which led me to rajarshi da. I was introduced to bhairava in a very different way than all the books I had read. And i became engulfed in bhairava upasana from whatever Rajarshi da taught. It's been more than 2years I have been sincerely doing bhairav Jaap along with all the asthami. I am a frickle minded person. I rarely do one thing for 6months. To be able to do it for years without missing is an experience and change in myself in itself. This year I did the durga Navratri in April for all 9days and completed the anusthan. I have started doing the 16thursday tara anusthan. I have already completed 6 weeks. I was not a very religious person. I have never done any ritualistic puja myself. Though my family has been in ma mangal chandi worship for last few decades. I find myself way more stable, at peace and a detachment I don't fully understand yet. It's only because of Rajarshi da guidance and bhairava baba blessings.
Read their full storyI have been doing every Navratri sadhana that Dada/Sir has shared since the very beginning. I joined the group mainly for the Devi sadhanas. While I do fewer Bhairava sadhanas, my daily nitya puja includes both Devi and Bhagwati sadhanas. Every Navratri has had a profound impact on my life. The bliss, peace, and joy that Mahamaya bestows are beyond words. Whether it was the Kamakhya or Durga sadhana, each has guided me through different phases of my life, and I am deeply grateful to have received the opportunity to practice them as instructed. I am deeply thankful to Sir/Dada for giving me the opportunity to learn and practice these sadhanas in the proper way. His guidance has been truly invaluable, and I will always remain grateful for it. I sincerely hope a detailed Kali sadhana is uploaded in the near future. Above all, Bhagwati's greatest blessing in my life is my little daughter, and I thank Her every day for that priceless gift. জয় মা কামাখ্যা জয় মা কঙ্কালী
Read their full storySir, I was like a kite with a broken string (in the area of spirituality), drifting aimlessly without any direction. Though I was born a Hindu, apart from visiting temples and knowing a few prayers like the Sahasranamam, I didn't really know much, nor was i convinced to pursue it. Now, my life has meaning, and it is completely different. I feel truly blessed to have the guidance of you in my life. On Friday, the 24th, I even performed a homa by myself for the very first time as part of the Gupt Navaratri Sadhana. I am so grateful to you for teaching us how to perform it. Ever since I was introduced to Bhairav Baba through you, my life has changed for the better. Through you, I was also introduced to Maa Tara, Lord Muruga, and Maa Kamakhya. I am deeply grateful to you, Sir!
Read their full storyMy heartfelt thanks to Rajashri Nandy for inspiring me to take up Sadhana, I found the courage to dig up some of my deep rooted traumas and not just face them, but eventually find a path out of it, thanks to Lord Bhairava. I do everyday Japa and someday I aim to do 12 years of unbroken Sadhana as Sir has instructed.
Read their full storyI have been worshipping Lord Bhairava and chanting His mantra for the past two years. About a month ago, something unexpected happened. One day, in my dream, I had the divine darshan of Goddess Tara in the form she is worshipped at Tarapith. Before that, I had never chanted Her mantra or performed any worship dedicated to Her. My chosen deity has always been Lord Shiva. One day, I came to understand that if one wishes to attain Lord Shiva, one must first worship Mother Parvati. At that time, however, I knew almost nothing about these spiritual traditions. Then one day, I happened to watch Rajarshi Nandy Sir's videos. That was when I first learned about Lord Bhairava, and I began my sadhana. As time passed, my devotion to Lord Bhairava grew deeper, and I truly fell in love with His worship. Gradually, I realized that to attain Lord Shiva, one must first serve His Divine Consort, Mother Parvati. And before becoming worthy of serving Mother Parvati, one must first become worthy of Lord Bhairava's grace and affection. Now, Mother Parvati Herself has blessed me with Her darshan in my dream in the form of Goddess Tara. For this spiritual journey and understanding, I sincerely thank Rajarshi Nandy Sir. Thank you, Sir. 🙏🔱
