“Om namo bhagavathe panchavadanaaya poorva kapi mukhe Sakala shatru samhaarnaaya swaaha” Meaning : ‘The east facing form of Lord Hanuman protects devotees from problems caused by enemies. It serves as a protection to devotees who chant with utmost faith.
This stotra helps to alleviate troubles and keep evil forces away. The Panchmukhi Hanuman Stuti is a potent stotra meant to praise each of the five forms. “Budhdirbalam yasho dhairyam nirbhayatvam arogata Ajaadtyam vakpatutvam cha hanumat smaranadbhavet” The Urdhva Mukha facing upwards of Sri Hayagriva Swami confers knowledge, victory, good wife and progeny.’ As the following mantra indicates, Lord Hanuman provides his devotees with knowledge, power, courage, and health.
Sri Lakshmi Varaha murthi facing the North, wards off the troubles caused by bad influences of the planets and confers all prosperity – Ashta Aishwarya. The face facing the west is that of Lord Shri Mahavira Garuda and this face drives away evil spells, black magic influences etc and removes all poisonous effects in one’s body. Sri Karala Ugravira Narasimha Swami, facing the South, removes fear of enemies and confers victory. This face removes all blemishes of sin and confers purity of mind (Chitta Suddhi). The face towards the East is Sri Hanuman Mukha in its original form. “Panchasyachutamaneka vichitra veeryam | Sri shanka chakra ramaniya bhujagra desam || Peethambaram makara kundala noopurangam | Dhyayethitam kapivaram hruthi bhvayami” || Hayagriva gives knowledge and good children. However, to make it visible to us, it is usually tilted and shown above Hanuman’s face. The North facing Varaha, showers prosperity, wealth.The West facing Garuda removes black magic and poisons.Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Swami promises this security to all devotees.Įvery Face of Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman has significance. Inspite of rapid strides in technology, there is a growing insecurity for the average human being, both at emotional and physical levels. He, therefore, assumed the Panchmukhi form to win this task. To save the divine brothers, Lord Hanuman had to stub out five lamps burning in different directions simultaneously. Instigated by Ravana, Mahiravana took Lord Rama and his brother Lakshmana to Paathaala Loka (the nether-world) and was tempted to sacrifice them to Goddess Mahamaya. Mahiravana was a sorcerer and an ardent devotee of Goddess Mahamaya.
According to the scriptures, Lord Hanuman assumed this form to slay Mahiravana, brother of Ravana. Sri Panchamukhi Hanuman refers to the five faced Hanuman. Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman is one of the most important upasana deity of our Guru Parampara. Lord Hanuman inspire in us the urge to stand up to our daily challenges and face life’s hurdles, difficulties, enemies and other negative factors with equal mental strength and courage. Sri Hanumanji is an ardent devotee of Shri Rama and the embodiment of strength, valor and courage.
