Panchamukhi Hanuman Significance

Hanuman is the incarnation of the tenth Rudra or part of Lord Shiva, who is said to have eleven Rudras in all. He was born to Kesari, the king of monkeys, and Anjana. As the son of Anjana, Hanuman is also known as Anjaneya. He is god incarnate of might and mind.

During the Rama–Ravana Lanka yudh or war, Hanuman assumed his panchamukhi or five-faced form to kill Ahiravana, a powerful demon, a black magician, and possessor of a mysterious weapon, the nagapasha, darts that would secretly inject serpent poison into human body. Ahiravana, the brother of Ravana, had taken Rama and Lakshmana to the netherworld as captives while the two were sleeping at night.

The only way to kill Ahiravana was to extinguish the five lamps lit up in five different directions, all at the same instant. To accomplish this almost impossible task, Hanuman assumed a panchamukhi form and blew out the lamps in one go. Rakshasa Ahiravana was killed and thus, Hanuman freed Rama and Lakshmana.

The five faces of Hanuman are that of an eagle, Garuda, facing the west; a boar, Varaha, facing the north; a horse, Hayagriva, facing the sky; a lion, Narasimha, facing the south; and the fifth being the original Hanuman, facing the east. The panchamukhi Hanuman has ten arms holding ten different weapons, including his own celebrated weapon, the gada.

First Worshiping of Lord Ganesha

Ganesha means the king of ganas or earthly deities. He is also known as Vighneshwara or the dispeller of all obstacles.

Ganesha is regarded as the lord of the earth, just as Vishnu is the lord of Vaikuntha, the abode of Vishnu, and Shiva of Mount Kailash. 

According to legend, Ganesha was born from the peeled-off waste that his mother, Goddess Parvati, rubbed off from her body one day, before taking her bath.

Solar Dynasty (Surya Vamsha)

Aditi, wife of sage Kashyapa, gave birth to twelve Adityas. One of them was Vivasvan, the Sun god- Surya. Surya’s son was Vivasvatha Manu. Manu had many sons and one of them was Ikshvaku. He was the founder of Ikshvaku dynasty; sometimes referred to as Surya Vamsha.

 In the line of Ikshvaku was born Naabhaka. He became one of the greatest seers of his time. Naabhaka’s son was Ambarisha and he possessed immense wealth. Yet he was aware that all the things of this world like riches are transient. He lived in this world of men without any bondage. He was a great devotee of Lord Narayana.
