To overcome guilt and fear

Sri Ragavendra had used Pancha mukha Anjaneya for meditation. What these faces indicate?

Past -

Varaha or Pig - Only this animal can eat dirty things. So we can pray and meditate on Varaha to eat away the bad thoughts of the past.

Garuda or Eagle - He is the king of Naraka. So by praying and meditating on him, we can overcome the consequences of our past karma. 

Future - 

Simha or Lion - Lion is the king of jungle. By looking at him everything runs away. So we can pray and meditate on him to make the fear or anxiety about future to run away.

Hayagriva or Horse - The horse is a beautiful animal to see while running. The same way we can have our mind run with a focus and goal. He helps us to have a clear vision of future and proper planning to achieve.    

Present - 

Hanuman or Monkey - The present is like a gift. We need to focus and do one thing at a time successfully. Also to surrender everything to the divine with Bhakthi. So by meditating on him we can get peace of mind. 

So the evil thoughts run away and we become peaceful and happy at present.

JaiGurudev!
