You all know that the holy festival of Dussehra is celebrated every year and with this the festival of Dussehra is being celebrated today i.e. on October 8. In such a situation, everyone is aware that Ravana was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and he used to worship Shiva day and night. It is said that Ravana was an asura but at the same time he was a good scholar and was also interested in music. Yes, it is said that Ravana was a very good veena player and Ravana was named Ravana because Ravana wanted him to take Lord Shiva from Kailash and bring him to Lanka.

Yes, it is said that Ravana once lifted Mount Kailash but at that time God was sitting with his feet up and he did not want to go with Ravana, so he lowered his feet from his posture which made the mountain heavy and Ravana's finger was buried. After that Ravana shouted due to pain and in order to get mercy of Lord Shiva, he started praising Mahadev, which in today's time is called Shiva Tandava Stotra. At the same time, only after being pleased with this hymn, Shiv ji named him Ravana.

It is said that the ten heads of Ravana were the symbol of six scriptures and four Vedas, in this way he was the most intelligent person of his time. With this it is said that the ten heads of Ravana are actually symbols of ten negative tendencies.  Indeed, there is a story behind it that, "When Ravana was doing penance to Lord Shiva, he cut his head in pieces to please Lord Shiva and this pleased Shiva and gave his dedication. Looking at each piece made head. At the same time, Ravana had ten pieces of his head and in this way he had ten heads.
