Lord Shiva is represented with 5 faces and 5 syllables. There are mantras, one for each of the five faces of Lord Shiva. Each head of Shiva has a name and has special powers or Shakti.

Our Puranas describe the five forms of Shiva as the five elements, senses, organs of perception and organs of action. Shiva is the ultimate Lord.

Om Namah Shivayah
