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.
