The story of Dashanan Ravana is quite fascin


The story of Dashanan Ravana is quite fascinating. Ravana was a Brahmin who had a great knowledge of our four Vedas and the six Shastras. He was extremely wise, powerful, and proud. His major goal was to dominate the devas (gods) and gain full control over the entire Universe. He was known as Dashanan, which means “who has ten heads” 1.

It is believed that Ravana was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and strictly penanced to please him. Ravana cuts off one of his heads every year and presents it to Shiva. Each of his heads represents one type of desire like - Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh, Lalach, Aasakti, etc. (Greed, Anger, Lust, attachment, Proud, etc.). It is believed that he used to surrender one of his desires to Lord Mahadeva. Ravana kept doing this every year until only one head remained. Lord Shiva, pleased by his true devotion towards him, finally conceded that he was one of his greatest ever devotees and showered his grace on the demon king 12.
