 SivaSakti.COM - Tripura Bhairavi. Part 1
From an etymologic point of view, the name Bhairavi comes from three groups of letters, with a precise semantics: bha symbolizes the act of preservation, in the sense of continuity, ra signifies ramana, the creative divine activity and va coming from vamana, referring to the relaxation, or ceasing a certain activity.
As we already mentioned, this terrible manifestation of the Great Cosmic Power Tripura Bhairavi is always directed towards both the destruction of impurities (on their various levels of manifestation) and the elimination of negative forces and influences that tend to block the devotee’s spiritual progress.
An eloquent analogical representation of the Great Cosmic Power Tripura Bhairavi’s terrible action in the manifestation is sometimes materialized in a woman’s anger, of even more concretely, in the prompt, firm, and determined actions of a mother defending her children against an exterior threat.

In Hindu Tantra, followers of the Great Goddess are told to view all girls and women, of whatever age, race or color, as the visible embodiments of Her, at times worshipping with offerings of worldly and sensual things in the hope of getting boons, mystic powers (Siddhis) and spiritual liberation.
In North India, the Bhairavi form of the Great Goddess is most commonly depicted as elderly, a "Mata-ji", emaciated, with eyes sunken, breasts shrivelled or pendulous, hair upstanding and unkept, but always ecstatic, "out of this world" and loaded with mystic initiatory power.
