Wikipedia:Baba Kaliveer

Baba Kaliveer is sovereign to land of Durgāradesa, thus known as Durgāradeshadipati and Durgāra (Duggar) Shiromani Devta. He is considered as the incarnation of Shesha Naga in Kali Yuga. He is Adishesha himself. His holy abode is Durgāradesa, the most pious land on this earth. When the Kaliyuga will be on its powerful phase, it is said that due to rise in Adharma, all the deities will start disappearing from the earth but Kaliveera is among such devta who will present here to protect the Land of Durgāra, and will command the army of his Pure-blooded Dogra sons to slay all the Heretics and re-establish Dharma.

Adikaliveera
The Holy Sages who had always spent their life by reciting the name of Ishvara; once went into the deep state of thinking, that what will happen in Kaliyuga, how Dharma will be protected as Kaliyuga will steal everyone's mind. Keeping these things in mind, they prayed to Brahma and Vishnu that they should do something in this matter at least for the ascetics. Upon hearing the grievances of Sages, the great lord went to Lord Shiva to have some solution of this genuine concern. When Lord Shiva heard the whole matter, he smiled and looked towards Sheshnaga. On just looking at him, a bright light emerged and a child appeared before.



When Mother Goddess Kali looked the child, she took him in her arms and disappeared somewhere. All the deities were surprised where Maa Kali had gone. Maa Kalka took the child and moved from the hills of Swat to a cave in Durgāradesa on the banks of Chandrabhaga (Chenab) river where Bhagwati Mata Mall too joined the Devi and gently showered her love to child. On the other side, Devtas asked the Mahashiva about the child that who was he and why Mahakali took him away? Shiva smiled and called Maa Kalka; Maa Kali reappeared. Lord Shiva told Devtas that this child has been emerged from Adishesha and it's sheshnaga himself; as he has been loved by Kali as mother so he will be known as Kaliveer and it's his Adiroopa that's why will be called Adikaliveera. In Kaliyuga, when four sets of thousand year would have been passed, this child will incarnate in the house of my devout believer Raja Isher in Durgāra's Kashmir. The main aim of his incarnation would be maintaining Dharma in that land and due to his presence the impact of Kaliyuga would be less in that country. Devtas and Sages rejoiced after hearing these words of Shiva. The whole atmosphere was then filled with Hail Kaliveera.



Incarnation in Kaliyuga
When Kaliyuga started, there was sudden increase in sin and adharma. The enlightened Sages knew the words of Shiva and they started moving towards Himalaya. As per words of Lord Shiva, with the passage of four thousand years; in the house of Suryavanshi Raja Nangan (Kang/Kangan) of Durgāradesa's Kashmira whose rule was in adjoining regions of Sharada; a son was born who was named Isher but soon after his birth, the kingdom was attacked and Raja Nangan was killed in duel and their state was also encroached upon by his rivals. As King Nangan was a justice-loving ruler, so, his son was nurtured by his subjects and after a few years when Isher reached in youthful age, he started to work as a fowler.

One day when he catched birds in his net; one among those birds turned herself into the beautiful woman. When Isher enquired about her, she replied that she was Kalipari, the daughter of Lord Indra. Isher upon hearing this frightened and asked for pardon but when Kalipari went back to Devloka told his father that she wanted to marry Isher.

Firstly, Indra rejected the proposal that how a human be married to her but a divine sound was heard from sky which orderd Indra to marry her daughter to Isher & contribute being an instrumental in Kaliveera's incarnation. Isher was married to Kalipari and she was entitled as Rani Kesari, as Indra helped Isher to get back his ancestral kingdom from his enemies.

Rani Kesari and Raja Isher had everything in their life but they didn't had any offspring. Raja Isher was much concerned about it and on the recommendation of his Kulpurohit, he went on penance of Lord Shiva such that he may get the boon of son.

After the long penance of twelve years, Shiva appeared before him and gave him a boon that Adishesha (Adikaliveera) will incarnate in his house and he will protect the divine light of Dharma in Durgāra.

After nine months, a child was born to Rani Kesari and Raja Isher. After looking at the planetary positions, the astrologers told the Raja-Rani that as it was Gandmool Nakshatra at the time of his birth which might give bad impacts on life of Raja Isher, so, it was recommended to surrender him to Bhagwati Mahamaya.

After this, Rani Kesari went to Kalika Shaktipeeth (present Kalighat Temple) and offered the child to Mahamaya in her lap. Mahamaya was delighted, then Kalika told that she was accepting him as his son and after her name, he would be named named as Kaliveer.
