Har mukh ki apni vishesh shakti hai. Hanuman mukh (poorab disha) - ye Hanuman ji ka asli mukh hai, jo Ram bhakti aur shakti ka pratik hai.

Hayagriva mukh (urdhva disha) - Hayagriva bhagwan ka mukh, jo gyan aur vidya pradan karta hai aur agyaan mitata hai. In paanch mukh ke madhyam se Hanuman ji paanch tatvon (prithvi, jal, agni, vayu, aakash) par apna niyantran rakhate hain. Isliye Panchamukhi Hanuman ki puja se paanch tatvon ka santulan banta hai aur vyakti ko sampoorna raksha prapt hoti hai.
Ahiravan Aur Mahiravan Ki Kahani
Panchamukhi Hanuman ki utpatti ke peeche ek rochak aur shaktishaali kahani hai. Jab Ram aur Ravan ke beech Lanka yuddh chal raha tha, Ravan samajh gaya ki Ram ji ko maarna asambhav hai. Tab usne apne putra Meghnad aur apne bhai Ahi-Mahiravan se madad maangi. Ahiravan rakshasi vidya ka dhang the aur paatal lok ka shasak tha. Ahiravan ne Ram aur Lakshman ko uthakar paatal lok mein le gaya. Paatal lok mein Ahiravan ka ek vishesh pooja sthan tha jahan wo Ram aur Lakshman ki bali dekar mrit sanjivit karna chahta tha. Jab Hanuman ji ne paatal lok mein jaane ka nishchay kiya, to unhen pata laga ki Ahiravan ke paas paanch diye hain jo ek saath bujhane par hi uska vadh sambhav hai. Agar ek bhi diya jal jata hai, to Ahiravan mar nahi sakta. Hanuman ji ne ye diye ek saath bujhane ke liye apna panchamukhi roop dharan kiya. Hanuman mukh ne poorab ka diya bujhaya, Narasimha mukh ne dakshin ka, Garuda mukh ne pashchim ka, Varaha mukh ne uttar ka, aur Hayagriva mukh ne urdhva (bhitar) ka diya bujhaya. Jab paanch diye ek saath bujh gaye, Ahiravan ki shakti khatam ho gayi aur Hanuman ji ne uska vadh kar diya. Ram aur Lakshman ko paatal lok se mukt kar diya. Ye kahani Hanuman ji ki apne prabhu ke prati bhakti aur unki aseem shakti ka praman hai. Is ghatna ke baad Ram ji ne Hanuman ji se kaha - "Tumne mera jeevan bachaya hai, tum meri aatma ho."
