Ravana the
Brahmin priest Of Lord Rama
Rewritten by
P.R.Ramachander
Nala the
engineer monkey completed
the Sethu,
The first ever
sea bridge of the
world , and,
All monkeys were
eager to
cross the bridge ,
And reach Lanka
to kill the hated
Ravana.
Lord Rama
called Jabhavan, the son of Lord Brahma,
And asked his
opinion and within a second
, he told,
“Before stepping on the bridge , we have to perform,
A Ganapathi Homa
and Shiva pooja, in a proper
manner”
“For that we need
the assistance of a scholarly Brahim
priest”
All monkeys
blinked , not knowing ,
where to get a priest like that,
And when Rama
asked Jambhavan about it , he
smiled and told,
“ there is no problem,
Ravana who is a scholar and Shiva
Bhaktha,
Is very much near
us and a better one cannot be found
anywhere else”
Lord Rama looked
as Anjaneya , who jumped the
ocean and reached,
The palace of
Ravana and though All other asuras prevented him,
Ravana asked them to permit him and Anjaneya requested,
King Ravana to
do Ganapathi and Shiva Pooja to the bridge.”
Ravana willingly agreed and reached the other shore along with,
All the needed
material for the pooja but when he reached there,
He told Rama, “This pooja would not be effective unless ,
Your wife is by
your side and gives
you permission to do it”
“So I will bring Sita
here with one condition that she and you,.
Should not exchange
any words and Sita was brought,
And with her
permission the pooja commenced and ,
Was conducted in a
great manner by Grand son of Brahma.
After wards Ravana
told Rama , “You may be thinking as to,
What Dakshina
you would like to give me but for
these poojas,
No dakshina
should be taken by a learned
Brahmin like me.
So when in the war
, I am about to die, come and bless me
as Lord Vishnu
With tears in his eye
Lord Rama agreed
and at the end,
Of the battle
when Ravana was breathing his
last,
Rama went near him
and told , “Oh wise and learned Ravana,
I pardon you and
as Lord Vishnu , I am giving you
Moksha(Salvation).”
