Ravana was a great devotee of Lord Shiva. He worshipped him and did severe penances, for which Shiva blessed him with various boons. Lord Shiva didn't care that he was a demon, all he saw was his devotion. The life of Ravana, one of the most powerful beings ever to roam the universe, if Hindu legends are to be believed, had unfolded in the small island Sri Lanka, where he ruled with mighty power over gods, humans and demons. Valmiki’s Ramayana paint Ravana as a tyrant of mighty power who was holding the gods at ransom, and he continues to be treated as a blackguard in India even today. In the classic text, he is found kidnapping Rama's wife Sita, to claim vengeance on Rama and his brother Lakshmana for having cut off the nose of his sister Surpanakha. Yet Ravana of Sri Lanka is portrayed to be a different king and a human. He is described as a devout follower of the god Shiva, a great scholar, a capable ruler and a maestro of aveena, known as the ravanhattha. The story goes that Ravana in order to please his mother had decided to bring the mountain Kailash to Sri Lanka. As he lifted up the mountain, God Shiva was angered by his arrogance and pushed it back down, trapping Ravana. The King of Lanka had torn off one of his own arms and made a musical instrument, ripping out sinews to form the strings. He used the newly invented ravanhattha to sing the praises of Shiva, creating music of such beauty that Shiva wept and forgave him. According to Hindu mythology Ravana was born to a great sage Vishrava and his wife, princess Kaikesi. He was born in the Devagana, as his grandfather, the sage Pulastya, was one of the ten Prajapatis or mind-born sons of Brahma and one of the Saptarishi or the Seven Great Sages during the age of Manu.Ravana’s siblings include Vibhishana, Kumbhakarna and Ahiravana and a step brother Kubera, from whom he usurped the Kingdom of Lanka. Lanka was an idyllic city, created by the celestial architect Vishwakarma himself and was the home of Kuwera, the treasurer of the gods, when Ravana demanded Lanka wholly from him, threatening to take it by force. Although Ravana usurped Lanka, he had been a benevolent and effective ruler. Lanka flourished under his rule and Ravana had proceeded on a series of campaigns conquering humans, celestials and demons. It is said that Ravana ruled Lanka for several hundred years prior to the times of Ramayana, when he was killed by prince Rama for kidnapping his wife Sita. Yet some believe Ramayana to be a semi-fiction woven around a real King who ruled over Sri Lanka from 2554 to 2517 BC.Sri Lankan lore has it that Sri Lanka under the scholarly Ravana saw great advancements in science and medicine. His Kingdom had mainly concentrated around the Eastern and Southern corners of the country and believed to have been lost to the sea with the years. Investigations conducted by Indian National Remote Sensing Agency had suggested that the land connection could be a manmade structure built 5000 to 3500 years ago. Yet Sri Lankan Ravana fans contradict its origin and its builder. Sri Lankan historians believe that the bridge was built by Ravana and was a floating structure connecting Lanka with lands in India. #රාවණ #රාවණා _රාවණ rawana manthra, Poojawa, Mahaa Rawana Poojawa, මහා බල සම්පන්න ලංකේශ්වර රාවණ මංත්‍ර, ravana swastika, Great Indian Epic, Ravana Cave, ravana underwater city, ravana puranaya, ravanas mummy, kingdom of king ravana, naga lokaya, king Ravana full Documentary, King ravana`s palace at sri lanka, Sri Lankan Great king Ravana full Documentary, මහා රාවණ පුරාණය, රාවණ රාජධානිය, සුදත් ලංකේශ්වර විජයනායක, ගයාන් සඳකැලුම්, gayan sandakelum, kingdom of king ravana, Kelaniya naga Lokaya, Kelaniyata Wedi Dathu, Kelaniya Temple, Kelaniya Pansala, Kelani Viharaya, Kelani Viharaye Dathu, Kelani Viharaye Naga Lokaya, Naga Lokaya, naga Lokaye Dathu, Chief Incumbent of Kelani Temple on sacred relic bestowed from Naga World, King Ravana Palace at SriLanka, Dewuram Viharaya
