In this article, I would like to give a brief description about Ravana. Ravana was the son of Vishrawas Muni and Kalikesi. He actually was the eldest of his family. He had two brothers named Kumbhakarna and Vibhishna. According to Hela sources, during his teenage, Ravana used to practice medicine with his grand father, Pulasthi Rishi, at a hospital complex which was located in Polonnaruwa area in Sri Lanka. A statue of Pulasthi Rishi, which some people argue as the statue of the great king Parakramabahu, is still there at Polonnaru Gal Viharaya area.
Ravana was an expert in medicine. He wrote several books on advance surgery and therapies which are still in use among native medical practitioners.
Ravana belonged to the Asuras. Asura means “the people who don’t drink ‘sura’ (‘sura’ was the native name for alcohol)”. This also describes that the people who used to drink ‘sura’ were Suras. These were the main two nations that existed during that era. But some people claim that Ravana was also a Brahmin. According to Hela civilization, Ravana was a Hela king. Hela, which can also be called as Sivu-Hela, was the main nation that Ravana belonged and ruled. It consisted of four different sub races named Naga, Yakkha, Deva and Rakus. Ravana captured many lands and promoted his nation and culture among them. He refused animal sacrifices and superstitious believes in praying. This could be the reason behind the cultural conflict that triggered the war between Sura and Asura.
Ravana .. The true king of all time... The visionary who saw the future... The ruler who hated superstitions.. The great wizard who mastered all the powerful magic.. the conquer who conquered every kingdom.. The warrior who fought till his last breath for the glory of the country …
“Ravana is the cruel demon king who kidnapped Sita and got killed by Rama”.. this is all what we know about Ravana… But have we ever bothered to find out anything about him with a different perspective.. The ancient kingdom he build, the lands he conquered, the magic that he mastered and above all, the humanity he shared with his people.. Well now is the time to raise a proper voice of who Ravana really was.. I will be posting some important facts that I researched about Ravana and ancient Lanka on this site... I believe it is really worth as he was not born as an “Avathar“ of anyone.. purely because he was born as a human and after achieving many things, who passed away as an immortal.. So stay tuned ***** This site is very much open for the people who want to talk about Ravana and ancient Lanka. I am open very much to almost any of the negative views that anyone has. Feel free to share what you think about this by posting a comment.*****
