Goddess Bhairavi is mentioned as Chandi or Chamundeshwari in Durga Saptashati or Devi Mahatmya. The principle text of Shakt School of Hinduism.
The text describes a fierce battle between two cruel demons Chanda and Munda and the Devi. Chanda-Munda were generals of Demon King Shumbha. They came to fight with Goddess Durga.
Then Devi Bhairavi emerged from the forehead of Devi Durga and killed the demons Chanda and Munda. So, Devi Parvati granted her the name Chamundeshwari.
She is a very fierce warrior who drinks the blood of her enemies. She is the energy of death and transformation.
According to the Narada Pancharatra, Goddess Kali, who is dusky, wanted fair skin. So she disappeared from her abode. When Lord Shiva noticed her absence he asked the celestial rishi Narada to trace her.
He told Lord Shiva that Devi is now residing in the North of Sumeru mountain. Lord asked rishi to visit her. Devarishi Narada reached the mountain and asked Devi to marry Lord Shiva.
The goddess became ferocious with this proposal. And then manifested herself as Bhairavi or Tripura Bhairavi. For this, she is also known as a fierce manifestation of Goddess Kali.

My younger son is in 12th standard when he suddenly became totally disinterested in studies. He was a good student before that but started bunking college and became secluded.
I was so worried about his studies as well as his mental health. Despite counselling he was not improving at all.
Then my wife asked me to consult an astrologer and I found Ekktaaji through a reference. We met her in July 2025. She heard our problem with empathy and compassion. Although we were not able to find exact words sometimes to describe the situation.
She told us what planetary transits were pulling him towards seclusion and distraction. She prescribed easily doable remedies. And slowly our son started opening up. We observed a remarkable shift in his focus towards his academic studies and has been consistent in his attendance too.
I'm forever grateful to Ekktaa ji for her precious guidance and remedies.
