SRI PANCHAMUKHI HANUMAN
Panchamukhi
Hanuman is a form of Lord Hanuman. Panchamukhi (alternate spelling
panchamukha) means "five-faced". Lord Hanuman assumed this form to kill
Mahiravana, a powerful rakshasa black-magician and practitioner of the
dark arts during the Ramayana war. Mahiravana had taken Lord Rama and
Lakshmana captive, and the only way to kill him was to extinguish five
lamps burning in different directions, all at the same instant. Hanuman
assumed His Panchamukha form and accomplished the task, thus killing the
rakshasa, and freeing Rama and Lakshmana.The five faces of Panchamukha Hanuman are those of Sri Hayagriva, Sri Narasimha, Sri Garuda, Sri Varaha and Hanuman Himself.
