The Role of Panchmukhi Hanuman in Hindu Mythology On Tuesdays, people worship Lord Hanuman. Hindus believe that Lord Hanuman is very important. On Tuesdays, people who honor hanuman ji do so with great respect. People also love to call him Bajrang Bali, Balaji, Pawan Putra, and other names. You may know that Lord Hanuman's Panchmukhi Avatar is even more amazing, though. People say that panch mukhi bajrangbali stands for the five directions. Tell us more about the Panchmukhi Avatar of Lord Hanuman:

One Of The Forms Of Panchmukhi Hanuman Lord rama was losing the war, so he called up one of his brothers, Ahiravana, who was in charge of Patala Loka (the underworld). Ahiravana caught Hanuman off guard by pretending to be Vibhishana and taking Lord Rama and Lakshmana hostage. Five candles held Ahiravana's soul. He learned that the only way to kill Ahiravana was to put out all five candles at the same time when he went to Patala Loka. Hanuman then showed up with his Panchamukhi roop, with each shape facing a different way. They put out the lights together and took bhagwan shri

ram and Lakshmana back to Lanka while they were still asleep. So, someone who worships the Panchamukhi form of Hanuman is freed from many fears, bad things, and enemies. A yogi is another name for Hanuman. He may have perfected his siddhis and taken charge of all five of his senses (Pancha Indriyas). This is just one way to look at the number five. In Ramavataram, the Tamil version of Ramayana, the famous Tamil author Kamban talked about how important the number five is.

Those who pray to the south-facing Anjaneya will have their dreams come true. The Hanuman that faces west gives soubhagya, which means good luck. The one that faces north brings wealth and success. The Sky is in front of the Hayagriva Mukha. Haygriva promises that everyone in the world will be happy and healthy.
