Panchmukhi Hanuman Mantra


The formation of Sri Panchamukhi Hanuman can be followed to a story in Ramayana. Amid the war between Lord Rama and Ravana, Ravana took help of Ahiravana, the ruler of Pathala. Ruler Hanuman keeping in mind the end goal to ensure Lord Rama and Lakshman framed a post with his tail. Ahiravana appeared as Vibhishana the respectable sibling of Ravana and took Lord Rama and Lakshman to Pathala loka. 

 Panchamukhi Hanuman Mantra 

 Hanuman entered pathala loka looking for Rama and Lakshmana, He found that life of Ahiravana was covered up in the five lights which were set in various ways. He could be killed just by smothering every one of the five lights a similar time. To achieve this Hanuman needed to appear as Panchamukha Hanuman. This type of Hanuman has five appearances. Hayagriva, Narasimha, Garuda and Varaha are the four different faces alongside Hanuman's face. Hanuman utilizing the five faces in various ways blows air to stifle the lights there by executing Ahiravana.

Every Face of Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman has importance
  • Sri Hanuman faces East. He grants purity of mind and success.
  • The Narasimha faces South. He grants victory and fearlessness.
  • The West facing Garuda removes black magic and poisons.
  • The North facing Varaha, showers prosperity, wealth.
  • The Hayagriva mukha faces the Sky. However, to make it visible to us, it is usually tilted and shown above Hanuman’s face. Hayagriva gives knowledge and good children.

Jainism And Buddhism In Pre Mauryan Period

Pre Mauryan Period – We now stand on the threshold of actual history, leaving behind us the period of the Upanishads and the Sutras which was ‘at once an age of keen speculation and rapid crystallization almost unequalled in the history of any nation’. Most European writers in their attempt to characterize Oriental Culture in the face of the Greek culture conclude that Oriental thought is ‘mythopoeic’, that is, myth-making, and that it is not until the age of the Greeks that reason establishes its independence.  But the contrast is misleading and as Whewell admits, the Hindus, like the Greeks, ‘felt the importunate curiosity with regard to the definite application of the idea of cause and effect to visible phenomena’, ‘drew a strong line between a fabulous legend and a reason rendered’ and ‘attempted to ascend to a natural cause by classing together phenomena of the same kind’.  Buddhist and Jaina books from the primary source of our knowledge of the internal history of India from

Vasishta’s words infuriated the sage Vishwamitra. He denied the fact and promises to prove that Harishchandra is not of noble character, hence decided to test him with the help of other gods.
