Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 Sri mathe Ramanujaya namaha Dear Bhakthas, I also floated this question to my friends. No one could reply, but I would like to expose my ajnanam, so that I can learn from others. 1. There are five ways of prayer to the Lord. They are Naman, Smaran, Keerthanam, Yachanam and Arpanam. The five faces depict these five forms. Lord Hanuman always used to Naman, Smaran and Keerthanam of Lord Sri Rama. He totally surrendered (Arpanam) to his Master Sri Ram. He also begged (yachanam) Sri Rama to bless him the undivided love. 2. Let us recall Bhagavat Githa Sloka mat-karma-krn mat-paramo mad-bhaktah sanga-varjitah nirvairah sarva-bhutesu yah sa mam eti pandava 11.55 || Lord Krishna says, "O Pandava, he who acts for me, who is engrossed in me, who is my devotee, who is free from attachment, he reaches me" We find all these 5 qualities enshrined in Hanuman. Each of his face explains the five divine qualifications. 3. I think, this Panchamuka Anjaneya icon is at Tamil Nadu. So we will ask Kambazwar about this. Anjile onru petran Anjile onraka Ariyaruku aha ehi Anjile onru petra Anagai kaka Anjile onrai thavi Anjile onraivaithan Aban namai alithukappan He is son Vayu Bhagavan (Anjile onru petran - vayu is one of Panjabutham). He became the member of the Ariya family. (Sita Laksmana Bharatha Satrukna Hanumath samathe Sri Ramachandra para brihmane Namaha). He crossed the one of five oceans to reach Sita Devi (She is a daughter of Earth - one of the five Panjabhutam). He put fire (one of the Panjabhutham) on Srilanga to kill demons. You can see all five. May be the artist thought over about this before making the Vigraham. Let me side track this slightly: I heard from one Swamiji that Sri Hanuman is very avatar of Lord Siva. He quoted from Siva puranam, I forgot the sloka/verse. When Parvathi devi asked Siva to give a simpler way to say Vishnu sahasranamam. Isvara told her recite his Lord's name Sri Rama. Isvara uvacha Srirama rama rameti rame manorame Saharanamatatulyam ramanam varanane Sriramanama varanana om nama iti. The Swamiji also told that Lord Siva has control over the Panchabhutas. May be because of this Lord Hanuman is pictured with five faces. I may be wrong, please slap me.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Dear Bhakthas, Let me share some inputs on Sri Panchamuka Anjaneyaswami. Panchasya machuta maneka vichitra Veeryam Shri sankhachakra ramaneeya bhujagradhesam Peethambaram makara kundala noopurangam Dhyayedhidham Kapivaram hrudhi bhavayami The details of Panchamuka are: 1. East facing ANJANEYA to grant humanity ISHTA SIDDHI. 2. South facing KARALA UGRAVEERA NARASIMHA to grant humanity ABHISTA SIDDHI 3. West facing MAHAVEERA GARUDA to grant humanity SAKALA SOWBHAGYA 4. North facing LAKSMI VARAHA to grant humanity DHANA PRAPTHI, and 5. Urdhva Mukha {atop} being HAYAGRIVA to grant humanity SARVA VIDYA JAYA PRAPTHI. Swami Venkatesa Bhattachar, a septugenarian, popularly known as Manthamurthy Dasan, a renowned Anjaneya and Devu Upasakar is the founder of Sri Viswaroopa Panchamuka Anjaneyaswami Foundation. HE has undertaken the mission of HIS guru in installing a 32' Panchamuka Anjaneya, a monolithic green granite stone, the tallest in Asia, at Tiruvallur near Chennai, India. HE will be right person to approach and get the details. I am planning to get further details from HIM to be posted on our group. Dasan, Velamur Komal Viraraghavan Varadarajan.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Sri Mathe Ramanujaya namaha|| Dear Bhagavatas, Some more information on Sri Panchamukhi AnjanEya ---------------- Panchamukhi , located on the south bank of river Tungabhadra near Manchala now known as Mantralayam is where Raghavendraswamy performed penance for 12long years in a cave. In appreciation of his Yoga, Lord Panchamukhi Pranadevaru,Kollahpura Mahalakshmi, Lord Venkateshwara of Tirupati and Kurmavathara gave darshan to him. Then he left for Mantralaya where he entered into Sajeeva Samadhi. A temple has been constructed at the spot where he performed penance known as the Panchamukhi Anjaneyaswamy temple. Lord Anjaneya is said to have appeared before Raghavendraswamy in a unique way amalgamating within him the avataras of "varaha, garuda, anjaneya,narasimha and hayagreeva", thus five-headed.
