RAVANAS CHILDHOOD
RAVANAS FATHER
. He was also the father ofKubera(king of the yakshas)
also called Vaishravana, from his first wife. Rishi
Vishravaswho married the daitya / rakshasha princess
Kekasi and begat Ravana, Kumbhakarna, Meenakshi
(surpanakha) and Vibhishana
The story of Ravana's birth is a rather interesting one.
Brahma Dashagreeva in known to us by the name
Ravana.
Brahma the Creator gave rise to fourteenPrajapatisDaksha, Vasishtha,
Narada and others. Among them
was Pulastya, a great sage. Pulastya had two sons,
Agastya and Vishrava. Both grew up to beMaharshis.
BIRTH STORY
AS A CHILD
Right from the childhood Ravana was an
aggressive but kind hearted person. Once
during his childhood Ravana just saved the life
of goat, he risked his life and killed an
alligator.
when one of the disciple in his fatherss
ashram was suffering from a danger snake
bite. Then Ravana and his brother
kumbhakarn cross a sea and mysterious
jungle and also fought demons to bring the
plant of nagbuti from shulgiri parvat .
Sage Vedavati
One well known example of Ravanas lust
for women of the sage Vedavati.
Vedavati meditated day and night. Ravana
proposed her in the middle of her
penance, and got rejected.
finding himself firmly rejected at every
turn, he grabbed her hair. This greatly
incensed her, and she forthwith cut off her
hair, and entered fire in front of his eyes
Abduction of Sita
Abduction of Ramas wife Sita in itself was an
utterly wicked act of Ravana.
Knowing that he cannot take on Ram, he
decided to take the backdoor. He had his
wicked uncle Maricha appear as a golden deer.
Ram chased the deer for the sake of Sita to gift
her, while the dastardly Ravana abducted her
The only reason he couldnt rape sita was
because of Brahmas curse that if he violates
another woman again, his head will burst.

Crucial facts
Ravan performed a yagya for Ram.
In one of the many versions of the Ramayana,
it is said that once Ram's army had created the
bridge to Lanka, they needed to get Shiva's
blessing for which they set up a yagya. But the
biggest bhakt of Shiva in the entire region was
Ravan, and since he was half-brahman, he was
also the best qualified to perform the yagya.
Displaying honour, Ravan actually showed up,
performed the yagya and gave Ram his
blessing.
EVERY
VILLIAN IS
NOT
A VILLIAN.
Mystery of 10 heads
Ravana performed an intense penance to Lord Brahma for several
years during which he chopped off his head 10 times as a sacrifice to
appease Brahma. Each time he sliced his head off a new head arose,
thus enabling him to continue his penance. At last Brahama pleased
with his austerity and appeared after his 10th decapitation and
offered him a boon. Ravana asked for immortality which Brahma
refused to give but gave him the celestial nectar of immortality. The
nectar of immortality stored under his navel dictated that he could
not be vanquished for as long as it lasted. Ravana also asked for
absolute invulnerability from and supremacy over gods, heavenly
spirits, other demons, serpents, and wild beasts. Contemptuous of
mortal men, he did not ask for protection from these. Brahma
granted him these boons in addition to his 10 severed heads and
great strength by way of knowledge of divine weapons and magic.
Thus Ravana known as 'Dasamukha' or 'Dasakanta'(Dasameans ten
andmukha means face).
HUMANITARIAN
Also, during the period Ravana kept Sita under his watch, he
never forced himself on her in spite of his liking for her. Being an
illusionist, he couldve easily made Sita fall for him. But, his
humanity kept him from doing so.
It is also said that at the time of the battle between Rama and
Ravana was about to start, a Brahmin could not be found to
perform the yagna. Ravana being a Brahmin performed the
yagna favoring both sides for the battle that was to destroy him.
In spite of possessing such golden characters, Ravana himself
brought his downfall. Working his way to power from poverty
with a clear motive, Ravana gets lost in the warren of power and
loses his ideals in the process of succeeding. Ravana is neither
the demon as he is the portrayed nor is he a hero as some say.
There is a blurred line between the good and evil Ravana.
