Actually, who is Satan or Ravan?

The name 'Ravana' obtains from the root ru - shabde raavayati iti raavaNaH 'one who makes people cry by his
violent actions.' Ravan is a character in Hindu mythology, who is the primary antagonist of the Hindu historical
epic the Ramayana. In the classic text, he is mainly depicted negatively as the ruler of Lanka, the head of devils,
demons and all negative characters. Ravana was a Brahmin, a great scholar, a capable ruler, a player of the
veena and a devoted follower of Shiva. The symbolic meaning of ‘10 heads’ is that he is guided by various
opinions and does not have control over the five senses and five bodily instruments of action. So, Ravan can be
perceived as a symbol of the evil in its various aspects, the subtle and the physical ones.

In the western culture people know the Devil or Satan. The Devil ('slanderer' or 'accuser') is believed to be a
powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. The
Satan (‘the accuser’); Persian: "sheytân"; Arabic: ash-Shayṭān (‘the adversary’) is an embodiment of
antagonism that originates from the Abrahamic religions, being traditionally considered an angel in Judeo-
Christian belief, and a Jinn in Islamic belief. Originally, the term was used as a title for various entities that
challenged the religious faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible.

There are many similarities in descriptions of Ravan, the Devil and the Satan. Some of their images are also
similar. All of them are symbolic, allegoric and metaphoric depictions which can be found in all the cultures,
religions across the world.

However, vital questions are: ‘Who is Ravan or the Devil in the reality? What is the source of all those stories?
Is the Evil an impersonal spirit or energy or does it have a real form?’ By finding answers to these questions,
we will find an answer to the most important question in the world that concerns absolutely every human being.
The question is: What is the source of all the dirt in the world: crime, violence, corruption, wars,
quarrels, divisions, murders, incest, alcoholism, drugs, prostitution, exhibitionism, pedophilia,
homosexual relationships, obsession with lust, sexual abuse, mobbing, rapes, discrimination,
concentration camps, mass slaughters, bloody revolutions, democracy and communism, mental and
physical diseases, suicides, accidents, calamities… is there the end of the list?

The answer to this question is not to be found in the sacred scriptures of the world heritage. The answer won’t
be given by any of the human religious fathers like Abraham, Buddha, Christ and others. The answer won’t be
given by any of the world famous scholars, academics, teachers, philosophers, doctors and so on. They have
spent almost 2500 years speculating why this world is what it is and neither they reached a breakthrough, nor
did the world become better through their talking and writing. On the contrary, it has been becoming worse and
worse. The answer to this question is in a completely new knowledge taught by ShivBaba since the year 1976.

According to ShivBaba’s teachings the world is passing through the time of the confluence, meaning the 100-
year period of transition from one cycle to another. During this period it comes to the subtle ‘shooting’ of the
entire scenario of the next cycle. The same happed at the end of the last cycle, when the shooting of the entire
scenario of the present cycle took place. The subtle shooting taking place in each confluence age reveals itself
in physical forms in the next cycle. It is one of the laws ruling the universe. Every cycle has exactly the same
shooting and exactly the same scenario. So, whatever happened will happen again and whatever is going to
happen has already happened. The entire heritage of today’s world (scriptures, monuments, rituals, idols,
teachings, philosophies, religions and so on) is only the reflection or manifestation of the shooting that took
place at the end of the previous cycle. In other words all of them are memorials that contain symbols,
allegories, metaphors and other traces describing subtle events of that time. The same is happening now, in the
period 1936-2036. ShivBaba teaches that if people understand the shooting, they will understand the source of
good and the source of evil in the world.

In one of his classes ShivBaba said: ‘There is a shloka is Sanskrit “Brahma hain Ravan” (Brahma is Ravan). No
one pays attention to it at this time. One day people will understand what it really means. Then, they will…’ So,
let’s try to understand what ShivBaba teaches and discover the real Brahma and the real Ravan.

Brahma is the first of the three murti (body of a human) used as an instrument by the Supreme Father Shiva
when he becomes the Performer in the human world in the confluence age. Through Brahma he plays the role
of the Mother and establishes the new world of the subtle Brahmins (the family of the Brahmins known at this
time as the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University) that is supposed to be the basis or the root of the new
cycle. In the period of 1947-1969 he gathers selected human souls of 9 main religions in that family and
teaches them the highest law on the basic level. He entrusts them with the task of communicating those
teachings to all the human souls in the world in an unadulterated form as the teachings coming from the
Supreme Spiritual Father, the Father of all the souls. In this way he made them instruments in the subtle
shooting of the new cycle on the basic level. However, the students do not obey the rules established by him.
They violate all the rules. Finally, they deny the existence of the Spiritual Father in this world, establish the cult
of Brahma and announce that Brahma is the corporeal form of God the Father and the Father of the World. This
act initiates a sequence of outrageous actions violating the law set by the Supreme Father and leading to
announcing and advertising across the world that not only Brahma, but also three main leaders of the Brahma
Kumaris of the present time, BK Janki, BK Gulzar and BK Prakashmani (who died in 2007) are incarnations of
God. In order to be able to prove this before their students and the public, the leaders of the Brahma Kumaris
falsify the original teachings and the history of the organization. Those among students who try to stand
against them, warn people and speak the truth are severely pursued and defamed by the Brahma Kumaris. The
first one was Veerendra Dev Dixit. He is ShivBaba’s first student in the world who provided the Brahma Kumaris
with irrefutable proofs of their illegal acts leading to the shooting of the dirtiest acts already in early 70-ties.
The Brahma Kumaris have been defaming him in private and in public till today.

Brahma of the confluence age has already become famous across the world. He is Dada Lekhraj, who died on
18th January 1969 in Mount Abu, because of a heart attack. This Brahma is described in scriptures as an old
man, dark, with a beard and moustache, with four or five heads, many arms in which he holds scriptures and
lotus flower. Stories describe him as the one who gives boons to devils (asuras). He gave many boons to Ravan.
In fact, by doing this, he created Ravan. That is why images of Brahma display some similarities to images of
Ravan, his spiritual progeny. ShivBaba explains that these are memorials. In reality, in the confluence age of
each cycle this role is played on the basic level by Dada Lekhraj (Brahma Baba), who becomes an instrument in
the role of the Mother (brah and mA means great mother). Even today the Brahma Kumaris say that Dada
Lekhraj Brahma Baba is giving them only love. No matter what children do and how cruel they are, the mother
tolerates, loves them and wishes them best. ShivBaba says that this kind of love spoils everything and creates
devils, because it doesn’t maintain balance with law and gives birth to five vices: lust, anger, greed, attachment
and ego. On the basic level these five vices in their female and male aspects are represented by Ravan’s ten
heads. Those heads-vices are progeny of Brahma’s love. On the top of Ravan’s head there is another head – a
head of a donkey. What does the donkey symbolize? In various cultures it is used as a symbol of limited
intelligence, ignorance, stubbornness, someone who does heavy and repetitive tasks. ShivBaba says that first
of all the donkey symbolizes body consciousness and it is body consciousness that gives birth to vice and vice
creates the dirt of this world. ShivBaba also says that the greatest weakness of Brahma, meaning Dada Lekhraj,
is his attachment to the body. That attachment makes him close his eyes to all evil traits in the children of
Brahma, give them boons and let them violate law hoping that maybe one day they will reform themselves.
This act of Brahma is an act of a donkey. The law says: ‘Iron cuts iron, poison destroys poison’. The shooting of
Brahma giving birth to his spiritual progeny Ravan has already taken place. Both, Brahma and the sons and
daughters of Brahma have been revealed and are famous in this world. These pictures are memorials of their
acts in the confluence age of the last cycle:
 Brahma

Ravan

ShivBaba explains that:

• Beard and moustache are symbols of vice.

• Dark or blue colors symbolize impurity.
• Various heads represents variety of opinions, points of view, various teachings.
• Many hands means that both Brahma and Ravan have many helpers and supporters.
• Scriptures held in hands symbolize that they have knowledge of scriptures.
• Weapon held in hand symbolize violence.
• Lotus symbolizes purity.

The knowledge taught by ShivBaba gives all the humans the final answer to the question: ‘Actually, who is
Ravan?’ and what that short Sanskrit shloka ‘Brahma is Ravan’ means. ShivBaba’s knowledge shows clearly
that Brahma Kumaris inserting the name ‘pita shri’ in the True Gita narrated by the Supreme Father is an act of
making the son be the husband of the mother that is violence and incest. Establishing the cult of Brahma (Dada
Lekhraj) as a corporeal form of God the Father, announcing BK Prakashmani as the Mother of the World are
acts of spiritual incest. Denying the existence of the Supreme Father in the world and showing him as a point in
empty space is an act of atheism and spiritual murder of the father. Publishing the images of three BK heads as
God’s incarnations is an act of considering humans to be God (Shvoham, I am the form of Shiva). Spreading
the message that God is present in BK Gulzar is act of spiritual incest and one of the most serious violations of
law established by the Supreme Father. Introducing the practice of the drishti exchange among BK students
and 5 times a day traffic control are acts of spreading subtle polygamy, spiritual terror and the Islamic
traditions in the world. Organizing festivals, birthday parties and funeral, displaying living and dead bodies are
acts of worship of the five elements. The list is of these acts is so long as long is the list mentioned at the
beginning. Everything has already had its shooting in the Brahma Kumaris and there is no way to erase those
acts. All of them in their violent physical forms as the worst dirt of the humanity will be revealed in the next
cycle and all humans will have to pass through this again as there no eternal liberation. Every human soul is
bound to play its eternal role in this eternal ever rotating human drama.

The role of Brahma in the confluence age was revealed through Dada Lekhraj:

Dada Lekhraj Brahma

The Brahma Kumaris are world wide famous progeny of Dada Lekhraj Brahma. They advertise themselves like
this:
