___🇱🇰KING RAVANA🤴🏻___

 "Ravana was a great king of Sri Lanka 8000 years ago," he went on earnestly. "And, you know, he had an airplane powered by a mercury vortex engine. We had such technology in those days." Justin Henry,CAORC senior research fellow in his essay Ravana' mechanical flying peacock Ravana, probably the most powerful being to have roamed the earth was a beknown scholar, physician,mathematician astronomer, ultimate strategist, Poet and Musician to name a few of his accomplishments and extent of his expert knowledge. He composed the Rudra Stotra that honours Lord Shiva. It is known that Ravana was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and the Ravana Samhita was shared to Ravana through Lord Shiva. Ravana is depicted with 10 heads to represent his knowledge of the 6 Shastras and 4 Vedas making him the most intelligent person of his time. However Valmiki' Ramayana depicts another version of this scholar and illustrates him as the villain. And in that version the 10 heads represent ego, attachment, hatred, anger, regret, jealousy, greed, lust, insensitivity and fear. What's your perception of the Ravana narrative ?
