Things that you Don't Know about Ravana | Why is Ravana Great | रावण की ये बातें आप नहीं जानते
Ravana is the primary antagonist in the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana where he is depicted as Rakshasa (demon) the Great king of Lanka.Ramayana is considered by the Indian traditions to be the itihasa or the history along with Mahabharata. Ravana is the son of Vishrava and Kaikesi and grandson of Pulastya.
Ravana, a devotee of Lord Shiva, is depicted and described as a great scholar, a capable ruler and a maestro of the veena (plucked stringed instrument). He is also described as extremely powerful and has ten heads. His paramount ambition was to overpower and dominate the devas. His ten heads represent his knowledge of the six shastras and the four Vedas. In the Ramayana, Ravana kidnaps Rama's wife Sita to exact vengeance on Rama and his brother Lakshmana for having cut off the ears and nose of his sister Shurpanakha.
Ravana, as a practitioner of Buddhism, is a major character in Buddhist texts such as the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra and the Gathering of Intentions, a text of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.
Ravana is worshipped by Hindus in some parts of India, Sri Lanka and Bali (in Indonesia.) He is considered to be the most revered devotee of Shiva. Images of Ravana are seen associated with Shiva at some places
The word Ravaṇa means roaring opposite of Vaiśravaṇa meaning "hear distinctly" (passive).[9] Both Ravana and Vaiśravaṇa, who is popularly known as Kubera, are considered to be patronymics derived as sons of Vishrava.
The word Ravana may originally have been a Sanskritisation of Iraivan, the Tamil name for a lord or king.
The Raksha vanish from history after their mention in the Ramayana, except in Sri Lankan folk stories. European scholars consider the story of Ravana and the Raksha to have been made in historic times, due to knowledge of Sri Lankan locations mentioned in the stories and therefore the story is considered not to be based on fact(The facts are of course present like the war site, fragments of Dadumonara in a srilankan temple, sigiriya).[18] The Mahavansa also makes no mention of a great Raskha civilisation(because European archaeologist mentions them in the name rakshasa that didn't exist made up by Europeans) and there is archaeological evidence suggesting a civilisation ruled by Ravana existed(such as sandesha and the secret history of sigiriya).
