Kam1825 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was listening to Sant Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindrawalaes Katha on the Salok Mahalla 9. On the Tuk "Ram Gaiyo Raavan Gaiyo" towards the end they mention that Raavan was a great scholar and had written a teeka on the Yujar VEd which they had seen at Bhai Lachman Singh's house in Ambala. Does anyone know if this teeka still exists and if any copies of prints are about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaljug Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I was listening to Sant Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindrawalaes Katha on the Salok Mahalla 9. On the Tuk "Ram Gaiyo Raavan Gaiyo" towards the end they mention that Raavan was a great scholar and had written a teeka on the Yujar VEd which they had seen at Bhai Lachman Singh's house in Ambala. Does anyone know if this teeka still exists and if any copies of prints are about? Old topic, but did you manage to find this granth? I have another book which is supposedly by Ravan called Ravan Samhita, but it is mostly a jyotish text with some tantric material thrown in rather than a granth about spiritual matters.

Mithar Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Ravan was a great Vidhvaan, and is said to be the greatest Shiv Bhakt. He wrote the Shiv Stotra which is read by Bakts of Shiva. Shiv Stotra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnDoLi28_kY&feature=related I don't think he was as bad as he is made out to be in Vaishnava Granths. In Sri Lanka and parts of South India he is still considered a hero. Edited February 15, 2010 by Mithar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever else he may have be, Ravana was expert in sadhana, political science, shastar vidiya, and astrology (hence the book named for him). There are still some Brahmins in Rajasthan who do shraddh for him and claim that he was a devotee of Shiva also. K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't think he was as bad as he is made out to be.... Isn't he the only person Gurbani calls a 'moorakh' by name? However, that just goes to show that knowledge and wealth aren't everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
