Hanuman ji has been called Sankatmochan, but when special types of complications arise in life—like tantric obstacles, Kalsarp Dosh, enemy's strength or deep mental unrest—then the special fast of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji is considered to be very effective.
This fast is different from the normal Tuesday fast and in this, all the five faces of Hanuman ji are worshipped. Each face symbolizes a direction and a special power.
- Each face of Hanuman ji has its own specialty
- Vanar Mukha (East direction): Symbol of enemy destruction and courage
- Narasimha Mukha (South direction): Destroyer of tantric obstacles
- Garuda Mukha (West direction): Protection from Sarp Dosh
- Varaha Mukha (North direction): Freedom from property related disputes
- Hayagriva Mukha (Upper direction): Provides knowledge, meditation and mental peace
When and how to fast?
This fast is started from Tuesday or Saturday. This fast can be observed for 11, 21 or 31 Tuesdays. On the day of the fast, special worship of Panchmukhi Hanuman Ji, recitation of Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach, Hanuman Chalisa, and Bajrang Baan is done. Churma Laddu, jaggery, and bananas are offered as bhog and fruits are eaten once a day.
How to end the fast?
At the end of the fast, the fast is completed by offering lamps in a Hanuman temple, Hanuman Yagna, or by giving food, clothes or donations to the poor. It is believed that if this fast is observed with full devotion and regularly, then even the toughest troubles go away and one gets protection from visible and invisible crises in life.
