After Ravan sensed he might LOSE Lanka War to Shri Ram, he became desperate to win.
He planned a ‘secret’ attack on Ram. Asked the “Ruler of Patal Lok”, his brother, to KIDNAP Ram & Lakshman & KILL them.
Hanuman Ji in anger, went to Patal Lok (Hell) in his most DEADLY avatar…
Hanuman.
Mahavir. Chiranjeevi. Ramadoot. Sankatmochan.
Bajrang Bali.
Hanuman Ji taught us the true meaning of unconditional love & worship
This is the story of Hanuman Ji’s most DEADLY avatar "Panchmukhi" and how he saved Ram & Lakshman from Patal Lok's strongest demon...
Mahiravan, also known as Ahiravan in some texts, was a sorcerer and the ruler of Patal Lok (the netherworld). He was a brother of Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, who sought his help to defeat Rama and Lakshman in the epic battle of Ramayana. Mahiravan was well-versed in magical arts and possessed powers that made him a formidable foe, including the ability to become invisible and change form at will.
As the war between Rama and Ravana raged on, Ravana, desperate to turn the tide in his favor, sought the help of Mahiravan. Mahiravan, in his loyalty to his brother, devised a plan to kidnap Rama and Lakshman and sacrifice them to the goddess Kali to gain invincibility.
Using his magical powers, Mahiravan managed to enter the camp where Rama and Lakshman were resting and kidnapped them using his sorcery. He transported them to Patal Lok, intending to perform a ritual sacrifice. The sudden disappearance of Rama and Lakshman caused great distress among their allies.
Upon learning of the abduction of Rama and Lakshman, Hanuman was consumed with rage and concern for their safety. His devotion to Rama was unparalleled, and the thought of them being in danger ignited a fierce determination in him to bring them back at any cost. Hanuman's immediate response was to set out on a rescue mission, utilizing his divine powers to track down Mahiravan and infiltrate Patal Lok, the netherworld where Mahiravan had taken Rama and Lakshman.
Mahiravan, a master of dark arts and sorcery, had received a powerful boon that made him nearly invincible. This boon granted him the ability to become invisible at will, making it exceedingly difficult for anyone to track or fight him. Mahiravan, endowed with a boon that made him nearly invincible, had kidnapped Lord Rama and Lakshman to sacrifice them to Goddess Kali.
Mahiravan could only be killed when five lamps, representing his life force and placed in five different directions, were extinguished simultaneously. This condition made defeating Mahiravan a daunting task. This task was seemingly impossible for any ordinary being due to the strategic placement of the lamps.
Understanding the gravity of the situation and the unique challenge posed by Mahiravan's boon, Hanuman Ji devised a plan to tackle the sorcerer's defences. His deep knowledge of divine powers, coupled with his ingenuity, played a crucial role in formulating a strategy to defeat Mahiravan.
Looking at the entire situation, Hanuman Ji acted in his prowess and took his DEADLIEST avatar…
PANCHMUKHI
Five-faced avatar—A divine manifestation with five faces, each representing a distinct deity and direction:
Hanuman (East) - His original face, embodying devotion, strength, and protection.
Narasimha (South) - The lion-man avatar of Lord Vishnu, symbolizing fierce valor and the ability to overcome obstacles.
Garuda (West) - The mighty eagle, representing speed and the power to counteract negative forces.
Varaha (North) - The boar avatar of Lord Vishnu, denoting resilience and the capacity to uplift.
Hayagriva (Upwards) - The horse-faced avatar, associated with wisdom and knowledge.
Armed with his Panchmukhi form, Hanuman Ji descended into Patal Lok, ready to confront Mahiravan and his dark forces. The battle that ensued was monumental, showcasing Hanuman's unparalleled might and the strategic genius of his Panchmukhi avatar. With each face wielding distinct powers, Hanuman was able to counter Mahiravan's sorcery, combat his minions, and keep the lamps in his sights.
Despite Mahiravan's formidable magical prowess, he was no match for the divine might of Panchmukhi Hanuman. The turning point came when Hanuman, using the unique capabilities of his five faces, extinguished the five lamps simultaneously, effectively stripping Mahiravan of his invincibility.
With the lamps extinguished, Mahiravan's boon was nullified, rendering him vulnerable. Hanuman seized this opportunity to engage Mahiravan in direct combat. The battle was fierce, but Hanuman's divine strength, coupled with the strategic advantage of his Panchmukhi form, ultimately led to Mahiravan's defeat.
With Mahiravan vanquished, Hanuman Ji quickly located the captive Lord Rama and Lakshman. Using his immense strength and divine powers, Hanuman liberated them from their confines and escorted them safely out of Patal Lok. The return journey was swift, with Hanuman ensuring their safety and comfort throughout. They returned with the spirit, as the great Lanka war awaited their final duel...
Indian history is filled with such grand stories, never to be forgotten.
We @iKyu_HQ worship the delicacy of history in India and stand to flourish it to the world...
Our handKrafted documentary-style breakdowns are ready!
When Bhagwan Shiva FOUGHT with his wife Parvati Ji, he started doing strange ‘Gestures’ with his hands & legs in ANGER.
All Devtas-Asurs got SCARED; No one had ever seen this kind of RAW power unleashed.
This is how India’s most divine Art form began with Shiv Ji’s “Mudras”…
Nataraja. Mahadeva.
Adiyogi. Bholenath.
Bhagwan Shiva, The Shunya (0) and Ekaiyi (1) of the universe.
This is the story of how Mahadev’s Tandava and gestures done in that rage gave birth to the universe, and what powers does “Mudras” hold in Sanatan Dharma…
Tandava.
Shiv Ji’s divine dance of power & grace. Beholds the entire rhythm of the cosmos. Tandava is not just a physical dance; it is a metaphysical expression of the universe's eternal cycle. Every gesture in the Tandava carries deep symbolic meaning.
We wave our Tiranga believing we are INDEPENDENT. We think we broke free from colonial rule or that we reclaimed our identity.
No one seeks the truth "India is still a SLAVE."
Let's talk about it...
I was 12.
Independence Day felt hollow. History books had taught us my ancestors were weak, backward, conquered by "superior civilizations".
I felt shame for being Indian.
Today, when I know the truth. We weren't conquered. We were systematically erased.
It boils my blood!
Colonial education was surgical. They didn't just steal our wealth, they rewrote our story. Bharatvarsha, land that gave the world mathematics, surgery, astronomy, philosophy, became a footnote. We learned our own history through British eyes. The greatest heist in human memory.
Western Theories NEVER let us understand SCIENCE behind our Hindu Temples.
Vedic science taught: 'Every temple structure is encoded with a SECRET.
Every step, each bell has a VIBRATION.'
This is the story of how Temples were built for Vedic Sounds known as "Shrutis"...
Before there was Western music theory, Sanatan architects found a secret.
Sound.
Wasn't just noise - it was the fabric of creation itself.
They identified 22 distinct microtonal frequencies called Shrutis, each one capable of affecting human consciousness in specific ways.
22 Shrutis weren't just musical notes. The Sama Veda reveals they were cosmic frequencies that connected earthly sound to divine realms. Each Shruti could unlock different states of awareness, from deep meditation to transcendent bliss, when produced with mathematical precision.
When Shri Ram’s father DIED, his ULTIMATE life test began.
Shri Ram is called “Maryada Purushottam”. NOT because he always did the ‘right’ thing or DEFEATED Evil.
From Hindu History comes the story of what it means to be Shri Ram, in his most difficult journey to “Ram Kund”…
The Valmiki Ramayana records the moment that tested Ram's dharma beyond any battle.
While in exile at Panchavati, sage Narada arrived with devastating news: King Dasharatha had died in Ayodhya, consumed by grief of separation from his beloved son.
Ram's world shattered.
The king who had banished him out of duty was gone. The father who loved him more than his own life had died calling Ram's name. Yet Ram faced a choice that would define righteousness forever - return to claim his throne or honor his exile commitment.
Hanuman Ji's legendary journey with Shri Ram to DEFEAT Ravan in Lanka is historic.
But before that, Hanuman Ji had a lineage. He lived with 5 Brothers; All destined for greater cosmic purpose!
From Hindu History comes the story of Lineage & BROTHERHOOD of "Mahabali Hanuman”…
Hanuman Ji.
The truest Ram Bhakt in Sanatan Dharma. We know him as a Brahmacharya. But there is a rare known lineage of Hanuman Ji, not known to Hindus in Bharat. His 5 Brothers with Maa Anjana & Vayu Dev.
This is the story of Hanuman Ji's Brothers...
Deep in the sacred texts of Valmiki Ramayana & Skanda Purana lies the truth about Hanuman Ji's origin.
Born to Anjana, blessed by Vayu Dev, 6 divines emerged. Each carrying portions of cosmic energy meant to reshape the fate of Dharma itself.
After a Sadhu did intense Tapasya to bring a ‘Holy River’ from heaven to earth, he sensed a THREAT.
River’s descent would SUBMERGE all Earth. Only Shiva could control that FORCE; so Shiv Ji contained her FALL in his 'JATA' (hair).
This is how Mahadev became our "Gangadhara"...
Ganga.
Ganga Maa, is not just a river in India but a divine entity, considered the most sacred of all rivers. Her origin is believed to flow from the heavens, embodying purity. This story is about her descent & how only Shiva could control her force and became “Gangadhara”…
According to Hindu History, Ganga was the daughter of Himavan, the lord of the mountains, and Menavati, making her a celestial being with a divine purpose.
