Panchamukha Hanuman Sthothram

I have come across many Hanuman temples. But the one temple that comes uppermost in my mind is the Panchamukha Hanuman temple near Secunderabad Railway station. It is situated opposite the Gandhi Hospital on a side road leading from the railway station on the left. This temple is ancient and the whole premises is shaded by a huge banyan tree and a neem tree is in the front. The idol of Lord Hanuman is "swayambu", meaning the image is formed on the rock and not sculpted as by popular belief. The whole prahara is on a rock formation. This Hanuman is considered famous and powerful and He is believed to favour the devotees with his munificence of blessings. The Hanuman here has regular stream of visitors and onThursdays and Saturdays crowds throng to seek His blessings.


I give below the "Panchamukha Hanuman Sloka". Each face of the Hanuman has a sloka or hymn with   separate set of boons conferred by Him
East Face:  Lord Hnuman(Prayer to subdue fears and enemies)
Om NamO BhagavathE  PanchavadhanAya
