lankapati raban part 1
After making Lanka as his own base and headquarter of the shipping Ravana created an army to protect his money and his business.... He started to collect reare things from every corner of the world.... He was kind of mad about collecting priceless things...

(A immage of Ravana the master of Beena)

  He make many donations to peoples who came to him seeking for help. Soon Ravana's kind nature and stories of donations became popular. And soon after this population of Lanka started increasing by its self... He was more kind on his cast  peoples then other.. 

            After becoming the wealthiest person in the world at that time.... He started traveling to countries and country yards.. once by traveling through the forest of the madhyapradesh with his brother kumbhakarna and some soldiers he meet the teacher of demons( daityaguru) sukracharya, guru sukracharya was in a deep state of meditation with lord Shiv.. so he keep waiting there and until sukracharya comlited his medication, by this good act of Ravan sukracharya became happy and teach him about the brahmagyana and gave him dikhya....

(Ravana praying shiva&parvati from bottom of his heart)

      He told him how  Shiba shakti controls the world. And he became desperate to know more about shiva. He went to Lanka and started meditating more effectively and more dedicatedly. Day after day he attended bairagya state , where he rise up from all emotions, all relations and all dualities... He leeft his hometown, his empire and family under the young but capable hands of his small brother kumbhakarna. 

   He started his journey towards the cave of Himalaya where his guru was calling him for salvation. Ravana reached to his Himalayan

Guru.

(Ravana in a deep meditation state)

He started his meditation with his guru but he didn't get salvation. Because his  knowledge was becoming an obstacles in his way to samadhi.... Then his guru told him-  ' dasanan you ask questions on the reality of supreme soul on the basis of your phisical knowledge, 

But you must know the supreme soul is beyond the science and knowledge... "So how can  you count the sea with a spoon"...you must offer your all ego, sensation , knowledge and everything to the shiva(here shiva means the destroyer, who destroys all poisonous substance in our body and mind and protects our body temple) only then you will able to find the ultimate peace.'

(Ravana oburning his intellectual, ego knowledge,anger and all other emotions with the holly fire of  the soul)

      By maditating in the Himalayas for more then 5 year he got too many sidhis.... But he became unable to get salvation.... Though he tried very hard... Then once when he was at a deep meditation state he heard a voice..."this is not the time for ot, go to Lanka and wait for my command...". We was surprised but also happy that the supreme soul gave him some responsibilities. He followed the order and went to Lanka ; but this time the was different and even more powerful.

   He followed the order and take all responsibilities but he was not happy with it... His body was at the Lanka but his heart was  lost somewhere else in the deep snowy mountains of Himalayas.....

     .................

           After a long period of time he decided to do something real stuff... He decided to do find another way to.......

lankapati raban part 1
लंका को अपना आधार बनाने और नौ बनिज्य के मुख्यालय बनाने के बाद रावण ने अपने पैसों और अपने व्यापार की रक्षा के लिए एक सेना बनाई .... उसने दुनिया के हर कोने से अनमोल जीजें इकट्ठा करना शुरू कर दिया .... वह अनमोल चीजें इकट्ठा करने के लिए पागल था।

       (रावण, बीना के गुरु का एक प्रतीक)

 वह उन लोगों के लिए कई दान करताथा जो मदद के लिए उसके पास आते थे।  जल्द ही रावण की दयालु प्रकृति और दान की कहानियां लोकप्रिय होने लगी ।  और इसके  बाद लंका की जनसंख्या अपने आप बढ़ने लगी ... वह अपने जाति के लोगों पर अधिक दयालु था।

 उस समय दुनिया के सबसे धनी व्यक्ति बनने के बाद .... उन्होंने देशों और बीदेश की यात्रा करना शुरू कर दिया .. एक बार अपने भाई कुंभकर्ण और कुछ सैनिकों के साथ मध्यप्रदेश के जंगल में यात्रा करके वे राक्षसों के गुरु (दैत्य गुरु)  सुकराचार्य से मिले ,  गुरु शुक्राचार्य शिव ध्यान में निमग्न थे .. इसलिए वे वहाँ प्रतीक्षा करते है, जब तक सुकराचार्य  ने खुदसे ध्यान भंग नहीं किए । रावण के इस  कार्य से खुश होकर सुक्रचर्या बोहोत खूस हुए और रावण को  ब्रह्मज्ञान  के बारे में बताया  और उन्हें दीक्षित किया ...  ।

(रावण  अपने दिल की गहराइयों से शिव और पार्वती को प्रार्थना करते हुए)

 उन्होंने उसे बताया कि कैसे शिबा शक्ति दुनिया को नियंत्रित करती है।  और वह शिव के बारे में और जानने के लिए बेताब हो उठे।  वह लंका गए और अधिक प्रभावी ढंग से और अधिक समर्पित रूप से ध्यान करना शुरू किया। बोहोत दिनों के बाद वह बैराग्यता प्राप्त किए, जहांसे रावण अपनी सभी भावनाओं, सभी संबंधों और सभी द्वंद्वों से ऊपर उठ गया ... उसने अपने छोटे भाई कुंभकर्ण के युवा लेकिन सक्षम हाथों  पे अपने गृहनगर, अपने साम्राज्य और परिवार को छोड़ कर वैराग्य की भांति लंका छोड़कर जाने लगे....।

 उन्होंने हिमालय की गुफा की ओर अपनी यात्रा शुरू की जहां उनके गुरु उन्हें मोक्ष के लिए बुला रहे थे।  रावण अपने हिमालय पहुंचा

         (गहन ध्यान अवस्था में रावण)

 उन्होंने अपने गुरु के साथ अपना ध्यान शुरू किया लेकिन उन्हें मोक्ष नहीं मिला।  क्योंकि उनका ज्ञान उनकी समाधि के रास्ते में एक बाधा बन रहा था .... तब उनके गुरु ने उनसे कहा- 'दासानन आप अपने आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान के आधार पर सर्वोच्च आत्मा की वास्तविकता पर प्रश्न पूछते हैं,

 लेकिन आपको पता होना चाहिए कि सर्वोच्च आत्मा विज्ञान और ज्ञान से परे है ... "तो आप चम्मच से समुद्र को कैसे गिन सकते हैं" ... आपको अपने सभी अहंकार, संवेदना, ज्ञान और सब कुछ शिव को अर्पित करना चाहिए (यहाँ शिव का अर्थ है  विध्वंसक, जो हमारे शरीर और मस्तिष्क में सभी जहरीले पदार्थ को नष्ट कर देता है और हमारे शरीर मंदिर की रक्षा करता है) तभी आप परम शांति को पा सकेंगे। '

(रावण अपने बौद्धि, अहंकार, ज्ञान, क्रोध और आत्मा की पवित्र अग्नि के साथ अन्य सभी भावनाओं का दहन करते हुए)

 अधिक समय तक हिमालय में मैडिटेट करने के बाद, उन्होंने 5 साल की उम्र में बहुत अधिक आत्महत्या कर ली .... लेकिन वे मोक्ष पाने में असमर्थ हो गए .... हालाँकि उन्होंने बहुत कोशिश की ... फिर एक बार जब वे गहन ध्यान अवस्था में थे तो उन्होंने सुना  एक आवाज ... "यह ओटी का समय नहीं है, लंका जाओ और मेरी आज्ञा की प्रतीक्षा करो ..."।  हम आश्चर्यचकित थे लेकिन इस बात से भी खुश थे कि सर्वोच्च आत्मा ने उन्हें कुछ जिम्मेदारियाँ दी हैं।  उसने आदेश का पालन किया और लंका चला गया;  लेकिन यह समय अलग था और इससे भी अधिक शक्तिशाली।

 

 उन्होंने आदेश का पालन किया और सभी जिम्मेदारियों को निभाया लेकिन वह इससे खुश नहीं थे ... उनका शरीर लंका में था लेकिन उनका दिल हिमालय के गहरे बर्फीले पहाड़ों में कहीं और खो गया था ....।

 .................

 लंबे समय के बाद उन्होंने कुछ असली चीजें करने का फैसला किया ... उन्होंने एक और रास्ता खोजने का फैसला किया ......।

Lankapati ravana|Ravana and his early life

Ravana is described as a great devotee and follower of shiva. A great scholar, a capable ruler and maestro of the vina but someone who wish to overpower the Devas. He have 10 heads, he kidnapped sita to get revenge against Ram.. etc. There are many more stories about him. But the real fact behind the story is not the same.

 

   If we talk about facts of Ravana there will never be any accurate answers. But according to similarity and considering common factors we can be closers to the real truth.

    Ravana was born between 5224BCE to 5104BCE. He was son of Rushi Vishraba and rakhsashini Kaikeshi. From the early ages Ravana was a blessed with high iq. At the age of 7 he became a good sergeant. He had done a surgery to a rabbit who was badly injured by an arrow (near to death) and saved him which makes him popular at his young age.

    
   He mastered every raaga and taala by playing and practicing Veena and At the age of 8 or so he won a computation of playing Veena. After the computation he make his own kind of Veena which is now known as 'RavanaVeena'. He wrote several songs and several poems which are never been taken under anywhere. Because those poems show the beautiful mentality of Ravana and how he is such an emotional person. He was always rises questions on everything, according to him “the knowledge is not the real knowledge if we can't raise questions on it". He always pretend to be so brave but deep inside he was softer than cotton.

      Ravana's relations with his father was never good. Ravana always arise questions about law and order of his father before obeying them. So this kind of attitude make Rishi Vishraba angry on Ravana, when Ravana always try to make his father happy. But at the time of kumbhakarna's (Ravana's brother) when rushi Vishraba sent some killer to kill his new born baby kumbhakrna , Ravana started hating his father. At that time Ravana was only 9 years old. He protected his mother and brother from the killers and the villagers. In defend he killed 3 man, and run away from his motherland with his mother and the new born baby. Later on he find a place near to Chilika Lake (which is in the Bay of Bengal, Odisha) make his own cottage. He worked as a worker in a dockyards to give food to his mom and brother.
    Later on with his high intellectual skills he started sailing in the sea. And by his business political Technics he became well named sailor in the eastern side areas of India, Bangldes and Miamar. Latter on he challenged his own steep brother kubera who was the richest person at those time and spoiled him completely in intentions to get revenge from his father.
    Kubera was so rich that he made a palace in center of
   Lanka(srilanka) which was coated with pure gold and designed with several kind of diamonds and ratnas(rare kind of stones). He had a team whose main work to travel the world and collect ratnas and bring them to Lanka by hook or crook. Even though Ravana make business in that way the other business men stopped making business with kubera and started business with Ravana. By passing of time even kubara bound to left his kingdom Lanka and sell the swornapuri (golden palace) to the Ravana.
      Now you will think after entering to Lanka we all know what was Ravana's life in Lanka ; but I ensure you that whatever you are known of or whatever you taught of are all wrong.  People make him villain even though he also wanted it to be but my intentions is to reveal the truth.
