On April 12, Hanuman Jayanti will be celebrated across the country. Devotees believe that Hanuman ji can overcome all kinds of problems and crisis, so he is also known as Sankatmochan. Hanuman ji is considered to be the eleventh incarnation of Lord Shankar. According to mythology, Lord Shankar took this incarnation to help Lord Vishnu's Ram avatar in Treta Yuga.
The story of the Panchmukhi form of Hanuman ji is described in the texts of Hinduism. It is one of the powerful forms of Hanuman ji. According to the Ramayana, Ravana sought help from his brother Ahiravan, who took Lord Rama and Lakshmana unconscious and took five lamps by taking them to the Hades. Ahiravan was a boon that he would be killed only when someone would extinguish those lamps.
When Vibhishan told Hanuman ji about this situation, Hanuman ji immediately reached Patal Lok. There he had to fight his son Makardhwaj, who was the gatekeeper of the Hades. After defeating him, Hanuman ji took the form of Panchmukhi to save Lord Rama and Lakshmana.
Each face of Panchmukhi Hanuman has a special meaning. The face of the east direction is a symbol of power and devotion, the Garuda of the west direction protects the face negativity, the Varaha of the north brings happiness and prosperity, the south of the south destroys fear and evil, and the above Hayagriva fulfills the mouth knowledge and desires.
