[Smt. Priyanka asked: What is the significance of devotees offering alcohol to KalaBhairava Swami at a temple in Ujjain, M.P? What is the reason behind this practice? At Your divine lotus feet, Priyanka]
Swami replied:- Kalabhairava is the incarnation of God Shiva Himself. God accepts any food when it is dedicated with strong and pure love. Shankara drank wine on one day and on the next day, He drank molten lead. There is nothing in the item offered and everything lies in the background love of the devotee to God. When the hunter offered sinful flesh of a soft natured animal (rabbit), God Shiva accepted it as food in view of the climax love of the hunter, who plucked his eyes for the sake of the eyes of God Shiva.
