* * * * *Lord Hanuman assumed this form to kill Mahiravana, a powerful rakshasa<http://www.answers.com/topic/rakshasa>black-magician and practitioner of the dark arts during the Ramayana war. Mahiravana had taken Lord Rama and Lakshmana captive, and the only way to kill him was to extinguish five lamps burning in different directions, all at the same instant. Hanuman assumed His Panchamukha form and accomplished the task, thus killing the rakshasa <http://www.answers.com/topic/rakshasa>, and freeing Rama and Lakshmana.* *The five faces of Panchamukha Hanuman are those of Sri Hayagriva, Sri Narasimha, Sri Garuda, Sri Varaha and Hanuman Himself.* *This form of Hanuman is very popular, and is also known as Panchamukha Anjaneya and Panchamukhi Anjaneya. (Anjaneya, which means "son of Anjana", is another name of Hanuman*). *A 32 feet high Panchamukha Anjaneya idol is to be installed in the Sri Viswaroopa Panchamukha Anjaneyaswami Asramam, at Periyakuppam, in Thiruvallur, by the Viswaroopa Panchamukha Anjaneyaswami Foundation, headed by S. VenkatesaBhattachar, ,at an estimated cost of about Rs.5 crores. * * The Anjaneya idol is considered to be unique as the face with that of Anjaneya, facing east, removes the sins of worshippers and confers purity of mind (Chitha Suthi) on them. * * The face of Karala Ugraveera Narasimha, facing south, removes fear of enemies and bestows victory. The face of Mahaveera Garuda, facing west, drives away evil spells and black magic influences and removes all poisonous effects in one's body. Sri Lakshmi Varaha Murthy, facing north, wards off trouble caused by bad influences of planets and ensures prosperity — Ashta Aiswarya — on devotees. The Oordhva Mukha of Sri Hayagreeva, facing upwards, gives knowledge, victory, a good spouse and progeny to worshippers. * * Nagaraj Sthapathi and his team of 30 sculptors are involved in the sculpting and the work Karnataka where the boulder was spotted * * The Ashram site at Periyakuppam has been chosen after Divine approval. A study of ancient scrolls showed that the site is legendary, as Anjaneya while carrying the Sanjeevi Mountain, stopped here to witness the Siva Puja being performed by Sage Agasthya. * * The place was known as Rudravanam in times of yore and was the abode of sages and Siddha Purushas. It is on the Chennai-Thiruthani-Tirupati route, 45 km from Chennai, very close to Sri Vaidhya Veeraraghavaswami Temple at Thiruvallur, one of the 108 Vaishnavite holy places. * * You also can enjoy the video about lord hanuman whose link is given below * * Hanuman* *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RwDJr7kWbk*<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RwDJr7kWbk> *The Adventures of Hanuman* *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IShF-NB-5Ig* *cnu.pne *-- -- * <http://sig.graphicsfactory.com/>* நல்லதுசெய் நல்லதே நடக்கும் जन सेवा इश्वर सेवा cnu.pne
