They chose the latter. In one of these 3 lifetimes, they were born as Ravan and Kumbhkaran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ravan_Couldnt_Touch_Women\"><\/span>2.

As a result, he was given a curse that if he ever touches a woman without her consent, his head would shatter into pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this incident, he did not touch women against their consent. This is the reason why he never laid a finger on Lady Sita. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, she had to undergo an Agnipariksha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Ravan_Had_Ten_Heads\"><\/span>3. Ravan Had Ten Heads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravan\u2019s ten heads were the symbols of his expertise in the 6 Shastras and 4 Vedas. He was even capable of controlling the planetary shifts and had the highest degree knowledge in astronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Part_Brahmin_And_Part_Demon\"><\/span>4. Part Brahmin And Part Demon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravan indeed was an evil king of Lanka but unlike the belief that Ravana was a demon, he was half Brahmin and half-demon. Ravan\u2019s father was the famous and learned rishi, Visravas while his mother was Kaikasi, a demon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Shamed_By_His_Own_Wife_He_Eventually_Met_His_Downfall\"><\/span>5.

At that time, Ravana decided to perform a yajna. to turn the tables which required him to not move. Getting knowledge of this, lord Rama sent Angad, Bali\u2019s son, and his monkey army to bring interruptions in the Yagna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"242\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ravana.jpg\" alt=\"5.

To their dismay, Ravan still did not move. Mandodari then shamed him saying that Lord Rama waged a war to get his wife back while Ravan did not even move to save his. Finally, he moved, disrupting his Yagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_He_Got_His_Name_Later_In_Life_And_From_Lord_Shiva\"><\/span>6. He Got His Name Later In Life, And From Lord Shiva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravan wished to change Lord Shiva\u2019s home to Lanka from Kailash. In order to do this, he tried to lift the Kailasha mountain. Lord Shiva, being the supreme lord, put down his feet on the mountain, thereby crushing Ravan&#8217;s hand beneath the mountain with the help of just one toe. Ravan was in tremendous pain and let out a roar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, he was in awe of such power of the lord and out of respect and as an attempt to lessen the anger of Lord Shiva, recited Shiv Tandav Stotram which is revered even today). It is also believed that in order to provide music, he used his own veins.\u00a0\u00a0Lord Shiva, impressed by such dedication, gave him the name Ravan (one who roars loudly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_He_Could_Control_Sunrise\"><\/span>7. He Could Control Sunrise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of years of penance and dedication, Ravan was believed to have become that he could even control sunset and sunrise. At the time of the birth of his favorite son, Meghnad, he told all planets to stay in the 11th house of the kid so that he could be immortal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Saturn or Shani refused to follow his instructions and stood in the 12th house. This angered Ravan so much that he attacked Saturn with his mace and even imprisoned him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Ravan_Performed_Yagya_As_A_Brahmin_For_Rama\"><\/span>8. Ravan Performed Yagya As A Brahmin For Rama<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to start making the <strong>Ram Setu <\/strong>to cross the seas to reach Lanka, a puja had to be done. As there was no Brahmin closer to them who was as learned as Ravan, He did this puja for Lord Rama and his army of monkeys. Also, he brought Lady Sita along with him for the puja as it could not be complete without both the wife and husband\u2019s presence and blessed them. Ravan even suggested a good time to Lord Rama for starting the battle and blessed him with victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Ravan_Was_Lord_Brahmas_Great-Grandson\"><\/span>9.

In spite of being half Brahmin and half Daitya, he was praised by Lord Rama as a Mahabrahmin and even performed<strong> Ashwamedha Yagna<\/strong> to kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/6-planets-in-retrograde-motion\/\"><strong>Further, you may like reading about 6 Planets In Retrograde Motion<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/_astrotalk.com_?igshid=v90rmx090hgl\"><strong>For amazing Astrology content, follow us on Instagram.
