Transcript

00:00This is the birthplace of Ravan.

00:01They burn statues, right?

00:02They don't do anything like that here.

00:04Namaste!

00:05He had no devotees.

00:07He put the entire Lanka at stake for a change.

00:10He didn't find anyone.

00:10There is a lot of energy here.

00:12Om Maheshwaraya Namah Swaha!

00:15Om Shambhavi Namah Swaha!

00:16Om Lankeshwaraya Namah Swaha!

00:19If he has found a way to his salvation,

00:21then that is his quality.

00:22We have come to a temple.

00:26But what's so unique about a temple, right?

00:28Ravan was born here,

00:30grew up here, got married here

00:31and then went to Lanka.

00:32How is Dussehra celebrated in this village?

00:34There is no celebration.

00:36Everyone's faces are sad.

00:37Why is that?

00:38Because this is the birthplace of Ravan.

00:40There is a coin, right?

00:41There are two sides to it.

00:43One is the heart and the other is the body.

00:45There was no bad quality in Ravan.

00:48If he has found a way to his salvation,

00:50then that is his bad quality.

00:51Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahankara

00:54Tyag, Tapa, Dharma, Paropkara

00:56These were his five qualities.

00:58That is why he is called Dasanand.

01:00That is why he is called Dasanand.

01:02Om Sarvedhyo Ravan Jyo Namaha!

01:05Om Sarvedhyo Devi Jyo Namaha!

01:07Om Sarvedhyo Tirthik Jyo Namaha!

01:09Om Sarvedhyo Tirthik Jyo Namaha!

01:10Because this is the birthplace of Ravan.

01:14Now, when everyone is going to stay here,

01:17then there is no need to make fun of him.

01:19We don't do anything like that.

01:23We just pray for the morning.

01:25We burn Ravan everywhere and celebrate him.

01:32I am a devotee of Lord Shiva.

01:34Ravan was also a devotee of Lord Shiva.

01:37So this time, I thought that

01:39instead of staying in Dussehra or Chandigarh,

01:42I don't want to see how people are celebrating him

01:44or how they are burning him.

01:46I wanted to go to the place where Ravan was born.

01:50Here, Ravan's Havan takes place.

01:54Look at this.

01:55This is the statue of Ravan.

01:58He came out from inside.

01:59Where did Ravan come from?

02:01He came out from inside.

02:02The significance of this is that

02:03first of all, he himself is earth.

02:05He has come out of the ground.

02:07There is no end to him.

02:09Ravan had cut his head and offered it to Lord Shiva.

02:12He offered it to Lord Shiva.

02:13On Dussehra, it is believed that

02:16all the Brahmins are descendants of Ravan.

02:20Some people came from Mandodari,

02:21which is the home of Ravan.

02:23We live nearby.

02:24Some people come from Meerut,

02:26who are descendants of Ravan.

02:28We are one of them.

02:29That is why we have come here to see Ravan.

02:30Ravan's best brother,

02:32who in order to take revenge on Shubhankar,

02:34put the entire Lanka at stake.

02:35He did not find a brother.

02:36Ravan's best father,

02:37who made his own son so capable

02:39that he won over Indra.

02:41Ravan's best father,

02:42Ravan's best brother,

02:43all of them were Ravan's best friends.

02:44Who was the biggest devotee of Ravan in the world?

02:46He himself forced God to come down.

02:49Even after accepting God as his father,

02:52he left God to die at his hands.

02:55There was no one bigger than Ravan.

02:57The vibes are different here.

02:59We say that Ravan is wrong.

03:01That was a different part of him.

03:02But if you look at it overall,

03:04there was no bigger devotee than him.

03:06The Shiva Tantra Stotram

03:08was written by him.

03:10There were good and bad.

03:12There was a reason behind the creation.

03:15Otherwise, if you look at it,

03:17he had so much knowledge.

03:19He was such a great Brahmin.

03:21There can't be a greater Brahmin than him.
