Sri Hanumanji is an ardent devotee of Shri Rama and the embodiment of strength, valor and courage. Lord
Hanuman inspire in us the urge to stand up to our daily challenges and face life’s hurdles, dif culties,
enemies and other negative factors with equal mental strength and courage.
Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman is one of the most important upasana deity of our Guru Parampara. Sri
Panchamukhi Hanuman refers to the ve faced Hanuman. According to the scriptures, Lord Hanuman
assumed this form to slay Mahiravana, brother of Ravana. Mahiravana was a sorcerer and an ardent devotee
of Goddess Mahamaya. Instigated by Ravana, Mahiravana took Lord Rama and his brother Lakshmana to
Paathaala Loka (the nether-world) and was tempted to sacri ce them to Goddess Mahamaya. To save the
divine brothers, Lord Hanuman had to stub out ve lamps burning in different directions simultaneously. He,
therefore, assumed the Panchmukhi form to win this task. Inspite of rapid strides in technology, there is a
growing insecurity for the average human being, both at emotional and physical levels. Sri Panchmukhi
Hanuman Swami promises this security to all devotees.

Hayagriva Gayatri :
Hanuman is often found in temples applied with Sindhoor. Sindhoor (Vermillion) is a modi ed version of
saffron made into a paste. The color morphs into a deep red which symbolizes the immense strength of Lord
Hanuman and is also the color of boldness. The color red once again signi es the muladhara chakra (the very
rst chakra in the human body ) and it is the basis of the survival instinct and deep rooted fear complexes.
Gazing at this deep red relieves some of the fears and hence Lord Hanuman is painted a deep red colour in
temples.
Panchmukhi Hanuman is worshipped in the context of energy for the following reasons :
To overcome distressing energy : To overcome problems due to spirits, black magic, ancestors’ subtle
bodies, suffering due to Shani, etc.
To control pleasant energy : If there is any obstacle in the pathway of the activated kundalini (spiritual
energy) then to overcome it and channelize it appropriately.
