Who Is Ravana?

Who Is Ravana?
#

The Raavana 2.0
#

Pratibimba got a temporary power A power to travel the time and then make others to travel the time along with him At that very moment, Pratibimba chose to travel to Treta Yuga He met Raavana, This is the time Raavana is in war with Rama But not killed in the hands of Rama. Pratibimba brought him along with him to the twenty-first century.

Pratibimba asked Raavan, Why are you so arrogant, selfish, angry young men which caused you to do whatever you have done? I heard you are Brahmin of Treta Yuga Who knows all the Vedas, Jyothisha, Ayurveda, War sciences, Upanishads, knows good and bad conduct knows good and bad policy.

Even after knowing all this You supported the wrong people, You did all which was controversial And for that, you got punished And your name is so infamous that even after many millennia no family chooses the name of their child after your name.

Raavana said, what you read in Ramayana is Raamleela. It means the play of Rama. If it is His play he can play the way he wants. I am just a side hero of that play. You made me a villain.

Ram is the Great of course, but highlighting my wrong actions Ramayana again heightened the virtues of Rama. So, Rama’s good deed makes him great but my bad made him the greatest.

Whatever happened in my life, For me, it was not Leela For me, it was real life My study, struggle, desires, fight and result of fights, Win and lose all were real for me.

But in the 21st century when I see back I feel that I have been used in the Leela. Used to show what all was wrong with me As if I was nothing but wrong.

I am a typical guy in North India I am a resident of Meerut I am an ambitious, hardworking, devotee of the Shiva I am Brahmin and worked hard to achieve what I had Nobody has given me on my plate.

In my life, I have done right and wrong as per the society I never realized it is so wrong Nor got opportunity to think and reflect my deed in a respectful way.

In Treta yuga, they tried to outcast me and in Kalyuga you tried to outcast me That is why south Indian politicians have caught me And leveled me a Dravidian And you couldn’t have courage to stop and save me from them You thought anyway Raavana is bad so let him be taken by anyone whoever wants to take him.

This way I was wrong in Treta Yuga and I was wronged in Kal-Yuga And today again because of no fault of mine I have become part of the dirty politics of the Bharat.

I thought at least after my death I will be able to unite my Sanatana Dharma but even after my death When I have known my truth You people are playing Leela on my dead You are not allowing my bad to die permanently.

I am part of Sanathan Dharma where Jeeva takes infinite birth do infinite karma in those births But was never thrown in the eternal hell or heaven for the Karma of one life And in one of those countless birth finally, one day I become one with the Cosmic being. But you are pulling me back again and again.

If I am given a second opportunity to correct and to relive life then nobody can play with me I will be in control of my emotions, desires, anger I will be able to use these for my benefits and for the benefit of people around me

In the last many years I have learned how badly the world sees you if you get played wrong by someone Or if you become part of some other person’s Leela.

If I have to relive again. The name of the play will be Raavan Leela. And it will not be any less adorable & inspiring than Ramleela of Balmiki Ramayana

But in Kalyuga who will write and appreciate that kind of Raavanleela for me Because in 21st Century people of north, south, east, west are busy blaming Rama and making him a villain But I know I was wrong and He was right.

Today when I am feeling to relive a life of Rama You are not giving me an opportunity Because you are singing the glory of that Ravana Which I knew was not on the path of Dharma.

The time was over, Raavana vaporized in the air before Pratibimba Pratibimba still thinking about what has gone wrong with our society That Dharma looks Adharma and Adharma looks Dharma People in the society in the name of Dharma arguing in the favor of Adharma And this they call freedom of speech.
