Ravana is my Hero

[@Modernyogi888]

Shri Ravan, let's not forget he is till date the most disciplined and biggest devotee of Mahadev. One of the 10 heads was a great scholar, a great king and a great giver. Only his Ego got the best of him through a boon given by Brahma Dev. Shri Ravan has a lot to teach us in the modern age, especially how to get the best of Kalyug along with embracing Brahman teachings. Shri Ravan was not completely evil. On another note, non of this was Myth, it was Reality! Any one who disagrees, take a look in the mirror, today you also carry one of the heads of Ravaan, ego, lust, Greed...TRUTH! Har Har Mahadev ❤

His ten head represented his tes emotions, happiness, sadness, fear, anger, pride, jealous, selfishness, passion, ambition and intellect. Even mahabali told him to abandon his many emotions as great king but Ravana justifies that his 10 heads(emotions) and 20 arms, makes him the perfect man

[@ennzee5393]

More than ego, Kaam (lust) is the issue..

[@arthatsharma8881]

Do you think being a scholar justifies his actions he abducted a married women killed Garuda and Jatayu do you think being a scholar makes him a good person what you are doing is giving respect to a serial killer and r*pist and on the topic of worship he disrespected Nandi the sacred vehicle of lord shiva and went on the Kailash Parvat because of arrogance do you think if hitler was a Hindu and worshiped a diety or if he was highly educated you would give him respect In the same way Ravana cannot be respected because of his deeds it is true we can learn a lot from him even lord ram said so to Lakshman when Ravan was about to die but still he cannot be forgiven for his sinful deeds and cannot be respect he was also a cannibalism as mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana he gave Sita mata a deadline of 3 days to marry him or he threatened to eat her only reason he could not touch her was that Sita ma had a Vardhan that any man that touches her with wrong thought would get incinerated and become ash THIS IS KALYUG AS STATED IN OUR VEDAS PEOPLE WILL START WORSHIPING RAKSHAS LEAVING GOD . हरे कृष्णा ॥जय श्री राम जय हनुमान॥ॐ नमः शिवाय॥ॐ ॐ ॐॐ ॥॥ 🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🚩🚩🚩🚩

I love how much he has read and delved into the characters and authors' minds to lay out the meaning of the mythology and what we have to learn from it.

[@sumananutalapati]

This is the philosophy atheists take so they can slowly tear down the fabric of religiousness. Of course this is also the method that Christian evangelists take as they slowly brainwash Hindus to convert. Coming from Kerala, he is heavily surrounded by anti Hindu rhetoric. The very fact that he subtly discounts everything as stories, myths, mythology and many such subtle references of non belief shows his heart doesn’t hold Hindu Gods in Bhakti. It’s just a theory to study, for him. Wonder what curse this man is living out. I will give one example. Jaya-Vijaya say ‘please don’t keep us away from you for 100 janmas, it is unbearable even if we are your bhaktas. We would rather be your enemies and become examples of good and evil to the world and come back to you in 3 janmas’. But this man described it as ‘They don’t want to be blind bhaktas’. That reveals him to you!!😊

That ring story sounds more like of parallel universe rather than cyclical natures of yuga ..

[@anithachandran8198]

Since Ravan was the topic of discussion, it would have been relevant to have discussed the role of Ravana in Srilanka as well...

[@MrSukhwinder22]

Lanka was elsewhere and the sri lanka which was sinhala according to ancient texts.. Came across such discussion on this same podcast channel....

[@DhareFarmer]

Well the srilankans consider Ravana to be good Buddhist king.

[@Ra-Unhsiv]

Sri Lanka is not the Lanka of Ramayana. According to Valmiki Ramayana, Ravana's Lanka was situated down in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The present day distance between India and Sri Lanka does not match with distance mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana. And Ramayana is not 7000 years old, it's a million year old history. It also documented many extinct animals.

The oldest version of Ramayan was valmiki one .the other versions are dubbed or adapted by it and if you have a good mind only .you can understand that if someone is dubbing something in their language they have to alter some thing as for books they can alter tradition or argument as well to make it more understandable to regional people

[@marymurphysinha9370]

Right

[@harshnaik6989]

There is nothing called as oldest version, we follow the cyclicals timescale and there no one is old or new, its the way as it is

This is no wonder, we have so many versions..it's like Chinese whisper..like a man plays different roles.. can be a dad, can be husband, can be brother, can be uncle, to some the same man is manager in an organisation...so we can understand why we have so many versions of it

I’d love to learn more on this topic, I’m so glad you brought this to us, born and brought up in north and now living in South, I could really get Nilakantha Sir. I hope we get to hear him more and deeper version of stories on this platform.

[@lakmequeen]

@Sjrikk Ravana never rapes women. He had sex only when the women agrees to it...what you are saying is true then he would have raped Sita but in reality he didn't. Every day he comes to Sita to accept him...

[@arijitchowdhury6502]

Open mindedness is core to gaining knowledge. If we do not keep an open mind then science itself would not have progressed. Essentially we must realise that every culture and civilization works towards the greater good of humanity and hence their teachings, no matter how different they may be, irrespective of which version is original and which is a derivative, all of them preach us to lead a better life. I still feel that each version was adapted to suit the scenarios each of the cultures were experiencing. Each version was moulded to make it relevant and more effective for its period and circumstances.

[@KarthikBharadwaj-kv7gu]

We need more of him. Please explore whatever Sir has to say. Lot of knowledge goosebumps. Thank you TRS

[@amanigoluguri]

The idea of looking the Ramayana from different prospective and thoughts involved in it is very mindbending. Just loved the thought and episode

[@cardrift4515]

Hello Ranveer I recently saw khan academy Sanskrit video and notice that it gave me more knowledge than my 2 year sanskrit course ,it literally gave me goosebumps so I think you should share that knowledge with our fellow Indians as the video was made by Americans and it has much knowledge than other language videos. for eg dyus pitr=zues peter,volkswagen=lok wahan,etc I hope this comment gets read by Ranveer and team 👍
