Description

About the Book:-The author has portrayed beautifully the character of the ancient king Ravana of Lanka and his kingdom, who was a Raksha, according to the hoary tradition. He was a Brahmin-Raksha. He knew all the Vedas. His punctilious recitation of the Sama Veda so pleased Mahadeva Siva that he not only saved him from the crushing weight of Mount Kailash but also bestowed on him boons of incalculable worth. The severe penance and austerities that he pursued with unexampled concentration earned for him sidhi-s galore. Ravana’s Lanka was more prosperous than Kuber’s Alakapuri. Ravana the benevolence despot saw to it that all his subjects were absolutely happy. This is the best government which desires to make the people happy, and knows how to make them happy. The commitment and devotion of the Lankan’s to their sovereign was total, complete and absolute. They willingly gave up their life for their monarch when the occasion arose. The book is the product of extensive study of Ravana and his people.
