Namo Sriman Narayana,

 

Dear BhaktAs,

 

As per the Advise of Sri V.Sadagopan, Adiyen would like to share his

inputs on the significance of Sri Panchamukhi Anjaneyar.

 

Sri Anjaneyar is actually considered as the personification of

'Prana' Shakti.As Prana shakti comprises of five types - Prana,

Apana,Vyana,Udana and Samana,Sri Panchamukhi Anjaneyar is the

personification of all these Five Pranas.

 

Sri David Frawlay (Sri Vamadeva Sastri) summarises the five pranas as

follows:

"The five Pranas are energies and processes that occur on several

levels.However we can localize them in a few key ways.Prana Vayu

governs the movement of energy from the head down to the navel,which

is the Pranic center in the physical body.

Apana Vayu governs the movement of energy from the navel down to the

root chakra.Samana Vayu governs the movement of energy from the

entire body back to the navel. Vyana Vayu governs the movement of

energy out from the navel throughout the entire body. Udana governs

the movement of energy from the navel up to the head"

 

So the Five Mukhams of Sri Anjaneyar are:

 

Prana - forward moving Air - represents Sri Hanuman

Apana - downward moving Air - represents Sri Varaha (Lord went to

Patala)

Vyana - Outward moving Air - represents Sri Narasimha (Lord who

is Everywhere came out of Pillar)

Udana - 'Upward moving Air - which controls speech, Spirituality,

Jnanam etc - Sri Hayagrivan

Samana - Balancing Air - which is controled by Kala - Time - is Sri

Garutman.

 

So ultimately we are sure that Prana shakti is Everywhere and so Sri

Anjaneyar is also a Chiranjivi.So Naturally Lord Sriman Narayanan

along with Sri Lakshmi Tayar will always reside in the heart of Sri

Anjaneyar. There is really a great Charm/Ananda in contemplating Lord

Sri Seetha Ramar as established in the hridayam of Sri Panchamukhi

Anjaneyar.

 

Namo Sriman Narayana
