Sri Pancamukhi Hanuman Cave in Mantralaya part 2



The meditation cave of Sri Raghavendra Swamy in Mantralaya is very mystical and wonderful to visit. Sri Raghavendra Swamy had done his tapas/sadhana here for more then 12 years on Hanuman and Narasimha. Sri Panca Mukhi Hanuman appeared in one of his dreams and blessed Him with his darshan. Next morning he woke up, and saw next to his sitting asana a self manifested Pancamukhi Hanuman coming out from on one of the rocks! Later one this Cave was turned into a special temple, and some near by living disciples of Sri Raghavendra Swamy where employed to do the daily seva. That happen all in the 17th century AD, and from those days every morning Panca amrita Abhisheka (5 different liquids) with five different Salagramas representing each Face (Narasimha, Garuda, Hanuman, Varaha and Hayagriva), are worshipped here. please visit that place, as it is very calm, peaceful and not very over crowed still! It is in Andhra Pradesh, near to the border of Karnataka.
