प्रस्तुत लेखनाचा विषय हा नाही. रावण शिवभक्त होता हा काही विवादास्पद विषय नाही. ही गोष्ट बहुश्रुत आहे. परंतु रावणाने शिवभक्ती करताना एक ‘शिवतांडवस्तोत्र’ रचले आहे. ही माहिती मला नेटवर मुशाफिरी करताना समजली. मग मी ते ऐकलं. श्री. रमेशभाई ओझा यांनी म्हटलेलं स्तोत्र मला सर्वात जास्त आवडलं. स्पष्ट उच्चार, चांगली चाल इ. ह्या स्तोत्रातील शब्दांमध्ये ऊर्जा असल्याचं जाणवतं. केवळ अनुप्रास, संस्कृत शब्द चमत्कृती याही पलीकडे एक शक्ती ह्या स्तोत्रात जाणवते.
मग कोर्टात एका वकिलांनी सांगितलं की ‘गीताप्रेस’, गोरखपूर ने ‘स्त्रोत्ररत्नावली’ नावाचं एक पुस्तक काढलं आहे. ह्यात विविध स्तोत्रांचा संग्रह आहे. त्यात हे रावणकृत ‘शिवतांडवस्तोत्र’ मिळालं.
तुम्ही ऐकून पहा. आणि याची ऑडीओ प्रत हवी असेल तर ईमेल द्या. मी मेल करीन.
शिवाय अजून एक ‘फ्युजन’ चालीचे सुद्धा आहे.
ॐ नमः शिवाय | शिव शंभू सर्वांचे कल्याण करो.

I accept that it is not right to paint any person black and white. But a person's gray shade goes darker or fainter depending upon the most important, life shaping event of his life. That in case of Ravana was his war against Rama which definitely paints him dark on the basis of motive as well as result. Any other deeds, including extreme reverence to lord Shiva does not matter.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how to put what I felt in words. But the comment above is exactly what I wanted to say. And this was not the first such deed by Ravana. He had misbehaved with I think one of Kubera's relatives. Seeta's laugh was uncalled for! Whether a woman laughed or a man.. if anybody laughs at anyone else in front of hundreds.. it would be very bad. But that does not justify what Ravana did. Ravana did not dare to touch Seeta because of the 'Shaap' stemming from earlier misbehaviour. This shows a pattern in his life. If a painter pours black on his painting.. who cares how the painting was before the black came into the picture (no pun intended :)).
ReplyDeleteWhat about Ravana's sister who was injured. I believe she just had a proposal for Lakhshman. And they cut her nose. As a revenge Rawan took away Sita. This is what I heard in a recent discussion with my relatives last time. I was very much convinced with that. though I am not sure about the chronology of the two events. But why was shoorpanakha hurt by Ram-lakshaman?
ReplyDeleteविक्रम, रावण हा शिवभक्त होताच पण परस्त्रीच्या मोहापायी इतर सगळे गुण व्यर्थ ठरले. मातृवंशाकडून आलेल्या अवगुणांपुढे विवेक लटका पडला (रावणाची आई केकसी राक्षसी होती आणि वडील पुलस्त्य ऋषी होते)
ReplyDeleteकर्णाच्या बाबतीत सुध्दा असाच प्रकार झाला. जमले तर स्वामी वरदनंद भारती (पूर्वाश्रमीचे प्रा. अ. दा. आठवले) यांचे "महाभारताचे वास्तव दर्शन: आक्षेपांच्या संदर्भात" हे पुस्तक मिळवून वाच.
या संदर्भातले आठवलेले एक सुभाषित:
अतिदनात् बलिर्नष्ट: अतिमानात् हि सुयोधन: ।
अतिलौल्यात् रावणो नष्ट: अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत् ॥
@Rashmiji: Shoorpanakha tried to lure Ram but he despised her. Then she turned to Lakshman who too denied her proposal. It was insulting for her. She thought that it was because of Sita, that Ram despised her; so she decied to kill Sita. Knowing her intent, Ram orderd Lakshman to deface her.
ReplyDeleteTo hide her own guilt and to avenge, she apprised her brothers that she was trying to abduct such a beautiful woman as Sita to present in Ravan's service.
