Panchamukhi Ganesha: The Lord with Five Heads

Panchamukhi Ganesha is shown having five faces. Pancha means Five and mukhi means faced. Panchmukhi Ganesha is embodiment of all potencies. The most relevant meaning of the five-headed Ganesh is certainly that these heads symbolize the five kosha .
Annamaya kosha: the flesh body made of matter
Pranamaya kosha: the breath body, or energy body
Manomayakosha: the mental body
Vighnnamayakosha: the body of the Upper Consciousness
Anandamayakosha: the body of Cosmic Bless.
Thus, the fifth head of Ganesh symbolizes the highest level of yogic experience, called Anandamayakosha, or Sat-Chit-Ananda , the Pure Consciousness without qualification.
