Citizens of Lanka were totally scared to see that Ram has built a setu within 5 days. Moreover, his army had to only write Ram's name on the stones and the stones would float on the ocean. If he is so powerful, we are in serious trouble.
Ravan came to know about this. He invited everybody to the seashore and he showed everybody that even he is capable of doing the same. He would pick the stone, write 'Ravan' on it, and it would float too.
Everybody in Lanka was happy to see that even their king is capable enough. They went home happily.
Mandodari asked Ravan about it. He said he wrote his own name and while throwing the stone in the water he would tell the stone '"if you sink, you will be called the enemy of SriRam. So, you bettter keep floating."
And it had to float!
Ravana was a great devotee. We need 9 more brains to understand his devotion. But he was stuck in 🧠brain. It must be really dry life. I mean technology and intelligence is fine. But only this brainy stuff would make the life so dry.
He was too intellectual hence, it was difficult for Ram (Life) to enter his life, his area. Hanuman symbolized Pran shakti (Life force). Only Pran shakti could have helped Ram to enter Ravan's place.
Seeta symbolizes peace. He desperately wanted that Peace. Ravan did not want more knowledge or wisdom or more evolution. He only wanted only peace & liberation. And later he got it.
What a magnificent story! It stays with you all the time. It gives strength and peace.
Today, everybody had a holiday except our office. Our CEO is visiting us. So, I got ready and it was difficult to get the cab today. Finally one ride was booked.
I left and checked for OTP. Driver name was Rajaram. I don't usually feel this excited. But today I told everybody that my driver name was Rajaram.
Jai Gurudev,
Mukta
