Vajrapani, the “holder of a thunderbolt” (vajra), shares his origins with the Vedic deity Indra, the god of storms. He is the fearful manifestation of Lord Shiva. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva is the God of Kaal (Time) and all three of the formats of “Kaal” including past, present, and future get merged into Lord Shiva. Kaal also means death in Sanskrit and Lord Shiva is also the god of destruction or the god of end or death. The word Kala suggests that he is the controller of time and the word Bhairava suggests that he is the most terrible form. Though his form is fearful, Lord Vajrapani is highly merciful to his devotees, and worshipping Him shall bestow several benefits. This Black/Blue form of Vajrapani symbolizes the all-embracing nature of the deity.
