Story of five forms of Lord Shiva
According to Guru Maa Nidhi Ji Shrimali, once Lord Shri Hari Vishnu assumed the form of a charming teenager. Chaturanan Brahma, multi-faced Anant etc. all the gods came to see him in this very beautiful form. He enjoyed and praised the beauty of the Lord more. Seeing this, Shivji started thinking that if I too had many faces and eyes, I too would have seen this teenage form of God the most. This desire awakened in the mind of Shivji and he took the form of Panchmukh and Panchanan. Lord Shiva's Panchanan form
