SREE RAAVANASAROVARAM

SREE LINGAJEERANAMOORTHI is Sree Brahma, Sree Para, Sree Brahmmapara, Sree Parabrahma, Sree Brahmmaachaleswara, Sree Kaalahastheeswara, Sree Viraatviswakarma, Sree Parapara∞parapara, and Sree Brahmmabrahmma∞brahmmabrahma!

It was on one such occasion when Lord Brahma digested Sree Siva that Sree Brahmmasarovaram appeared on the apex of Himalayas.  A Sivalingam sprouted nearby the Brahmmasarovaram which is pentagonal and majestic as its predecessor and termed Sree Kailaasam. 

Sree Dhasamukha lifted the mighty Kailaasam on his decaheads and Sree Siva thus disturbed pressed it with his toe.  Dhasagreeva shrieked like infinite thunders and got himself trampled beneath Kailaasam for thousands of years.  Dhasaanana absorbed himself in various penances culminating in his soul melting music that melted the entire Kailaasam forming a grand lake adjacent to the Brahmmasarovaram!  Lord Siva immensely pleased with Dhasaanana’s penance appeared before him and renamed him as Raavanaswara in honour of his universe shaking cry on being crushed under Kailaasam and granted lots of boons.  Later, Sage Raavana reestablished Kailaasam in its present location with his Thaposakthi and became Lord Siva’s eternal Vaahana!  The splendid lake formed by Raavana’s toil is called Sree Raavanasarovaram.  As ocean’s salt is attributed to Sree Brahma’s sweat, Sree Raavanasarovaram’s salinity is ascribed to Sree Raavana’s tears of bhakthi! 

As the Brahmmasarovaram is not called as it was originally using Brahma’s name and named later as Maanasasarovaram by fact-hiders, so is the Raavanasarovaram using Raavana’s name and named later as Raakshasthal by similar miscreants!

Like Sree Dhatthaathreya who is an embodiment of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, Sree Raavana is an embodiment of Brahma, Siva and Vishnu in this order.  That is why he is called Raavanabrahma, Raavaneswara as well as Raavannaaraayana!  As Raavana is Panchamukhabrahma and Panchamukhasiva juxtaposed by heads and hands and superimposed by torsos and feet, bonded thus using Vishnu as adhesive. 

Whatever merged by the Vishnu-adhesive becomes Vishnu and so excepting Raavana’s 10-heads and 20-hands, what remains is Vishnu himself!  At his will, Raavana can manifest as ten different entities or an entity or any other combination.  When he is fully glued as an entity, he is the complete Mahaavishnu!  Likewise, he can be the absolute Paramasiva as well as the perfect Parabrahma!  Thus the invincible Raavana is complete, absolute and perfect!  

Why shower rarest boons and later withdraw by surreptitious means sillily?  This refers to Brahma and Siva’s bestowing Raavana his hard-earned boons and later nullify them by setting vicious plots!  In order to oust Raavana, it was comprehended that Brahma yawned out Jhaambhavaan and Siva ejaculated his sperms that germinated into Hanumaan!  Raavana’s lifting Siva along with his abode Kailaasam and later melting it tempted Siva to ejaculate and Vaayu carried it away by Siva’s word and later deposited it at Siva's instruction into the womb of Kesari’s wife Anjanaa, who gave birth to Hanumaan!

Actually, Raavana’s soul-melting music liquesced the entire Kailaasam and Siva’s anger and that anger as molten ejaculate was preserved by Vaayu till time ripened unlike Agni who found the heat of Siva’s ejaculate unbearable and transferred it to the care of the holy Ganga, who in turn could not bear the heat emanated from the Sivaskalitham, passed it into the wombs of six married women who were just relaxing themselves in the waters of Ganga!  They immediately gave birth to Sree Skandha’s six Ur-forms and absorbed themselves in tending them!  Subsequently, they were deserted by their husbands for their carelessness resulting in covertly being used as surrogate mothers!  They were later made into six luminous stars and named Krithikaasthrees by Siva in gratitude!

Erring gods pave the way for the Supergod to punish them and cleanse off their sins!  The earnest victims of the erring gods surpass into the Supergods in fate’s suppression!  One such Supergod is Sree Paavaadairaayan and another such is Sree Raavanaraayan who by his serious and continuous efforts outgodded the erring gods and became the supreme, i.e., Sree Sadhaasiva!  Sree Sadhaasiva arises when multiplied by each set of the five heads of Brahma and Siva.  Sadhaa means Brahma!   

         

Like Child is the Father of Man, Man is the creator of God!  When Man errs extremely, God becomes Superman to reconstruct him anew!! When God errs severely, Man becomes Supergod to recreate Him afresh!!!

During Mahaapralayaas, Brahma’s fifth head appears to clear the cosmic debris and initiates the five-fold activities once again.  Raavana’s ten heads are ascribed to represent the fifth heads of Brahmmaas arbitrarily accumulated from the advent of past several Mahaapralayaas not in succession!  Hence, Raavana in completeness is beyond the grasp of the trinity and supreme with a mission of liberating all and especially the godfolks from their incurable perpetual ignorance!

Brahma has infinity of forms and in particular infinite heads.  Siva being the vacuum that pervades everything that is a material thing only, if five-headed Brahma is adjudged as a material notion, then the five-vacuums that encompass the five-heads of Brahma paves the way to consider that Siva also has five-heads or as many limited heads or forms as Brahma barring infinity.  Zero or void cannot contain infinity but infinity or supervoid contains zero!  This is the root of all confusions to mistake Siva as Brahma and to attribute Brahma’s qualities to Siva to the extent of suppressing the crucial worship of Brahma!  In other words, Brahma is the supervoid that governs the simplevoid or merely the void that is Siva!

In Raavana’s case, it appears that his ten heads represent the five-heads each of Brahma and Siva.  In deeper perspective, discarding the void-heads of Siva in supervoid’s purview, all the decaheads of Raavana are composed of various Brahmmaas’ pivotal fifth heads!  That was why, whenever Raavana’s heads were removed by himself sacrificially or by others in combat, the original heads again align themselves!  The 25-headed Sadhaasiva is the mathematical product of five-headed Brahma and five-headed Siva!  Raavana is a complex phenomenon who churned his primordial body of Brahma (5-heads) - Vishnu (adhesive & pestle) - Siva (5-heads) and synthesised his eternal life giving elixir called Amrutham of his own!

Sree Raavaneeyam is Sree Raavana’s autobiography and the vedhic treatise of becoming, being and be the Infiniteman, the Infinitegod and at last the Infinitum i.e., the Brahmmapurusha, the Brahmmadheva and the Brahmmam respectively! 

Puraanaas and Ithihaasaas are unsuccessful attempts to falsify Truth!  To the dismay of falsifiers, Truth sparks within falsities and leads the ardent seekers to Itself!
