The name 'Ravana' obtains from the root ru - shabde raavayati iti raavaNaH 'one who makes people cry by his violent actions.' Ravan is a character in Hindu mythology, who is the primary antagonist of the Hindu historical epic the Ramayana. In the classic text, he is mainly depicted negatively as the ruler of Lanka, the head of devils, demons and all negative characters. Ravana was a Brahmin, a great scholar, a capable ruler, a player of the veena and a devoted follower of Shiva. The symbolic meaning of ‘10 heads’ is that he is guided by various opinions and does not have control over the five senses and five bodily instruments of action. So, Ravan can be perceived as a symbol of the evil in its various aspects, the subtle and the physical ones.
In the western culture people know the Devil or Satan. The Devil ('slanderer' or 'accuser') is believed to be a powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. The Satan (‘the accuser’); Persian: "sheytân"; Arabic: ash-Shayṭān (‘the adversary’) is an embodiment of antagonism that originates from the Abrahamic religions, being traditionally considered an angel in Judeo-Christian belief, and a Jinn in Islamic belief. Originally, the term was used as a title for various entities that challenged the religious faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible.
There are many similarities in descriptions of Ravan, the Devil and the Satan. Some of their images are also similar. All of them are symbolic, allegoric and metaphoric depictions which can be found in all the cultures, religions across the world.
However, vital questions are: ‘Who is Ravan or the Devil in the reality? What is the source of all those stories? Is the Evil an impersonal spirit or energy or does it have a real form?’ By finding answers to these questions, we will find an answer to the most important question in the world that concerns absolutely every human being. The question is: What is the source of all the dirt in the world: crime, violence, corruption, wars, quarrels, divisions, murders, incest, alcoholism, drugs, prostitution, exhibitionism, pedophilia, homosexual relationships, obsession with lust, sexual abuse, mobbing, rapes, discrimination, concentration camps, mass slaughters, bloody revolutions, democracy and communism, mental and physical diseases, suicides, accidents, calamities… is there the end of the list?
The answer to this question is not to be found in the sacred scriptures of the world heritage. The answer won’t be given by any of the human religious fathers like Abraham, Buddha, Christ and others. The answer won’t be given by any of the world famous scholars, academics, teachers, philosophers, doctors and so on. They have spent almost 2500 years speculating why this world is what it is and neither they reached a breakthrough, nor did the world become better through their talking and writing. On the contrary, it has been becoming worse and worse. The answer to this question is in a completely new knowledge taught by ShivBaba since the year 1976.
According to ShivBaba’s teachings the world is passing through the time of the confluence, meaning the 100-year period of transition from one cycle to another. During this period it comes to the subtle ‘shooting’ of the entire scenario of the next cycle. The same happed at the end of the last cycle, when the shooting of the entire scenario of the present cycle took place. The subtle shooting taking place in each confluence age reveals itself in physical forms in the next cycle. It is one of the laws ruling the universe. Every cycle has exactly the same shooting and exactly the same scenario. So, whatever happened will happen again and whatever is going to happen has already happened. The entire heritage of today’s world (scriptures, monuments, rituals, idols, teachings, philosophies, religions and so on) is only the reflection or manifestation of the shooting that took place at the end of the previous cycle. In other words all of them are memorials that contain symbols, allegories, metaphors and other traces describing subtle events of that time. The same is happening now, in the period 1936-2036. ShivBaba teaches that if people understand the shooting, they will understand the source of good and the source of evil in the world.
In one of his classes ShivBaba said: ‘There is a shloka is Sanskrit “Brahma hain Ravan” (Brahma is Ravan). No one pays attention to it at this time. One day people will understand what it really means. Then, they will…’ So, let’s try to understand what ShivBaba teaches and discover the real Brahma and the real Ravan.
Brahma is the first of the three murti (body of a human) used as an instrument by the Supreme Father Shiva when he becomes the Performer in the human world in the confluence age. Through Brahma he plays the role of the Mother and establishes the new world of the subtle Brahmins (the family of the Brahmins known at this time as the
Brahma of the confluence age has already become famous across the world. He is Dada Lekhraj, who died on 18th January
ShivBaba explains that:
· Beard and moustache are symbols of vice.
· Dark or blue colors symbolize impurity.
· Various heads represents variety of opinions, points of view, various teachings.
· Many hands means that both Brahma and Ravan have many helpers and supporters.
· Scriptures held in hands symbolize that they have knowledge of scriptures.
· Weapon held in hand symbolize violence.
· Lotus symbolizes purity.
The knowledge taught by ShivBaba gives all the humans the final answer to the question: ‘Actually, who is Ravan?’ and what that short Sanskrit shloka ‘Brahma is Ravan’ means. ShivBaba’s knowledge shows clearly that Brahma Kumaris inserting the name ‘pita shri’ in the True Gita narrated by the Supreme Father is an act of making the son be the husband of the mother that is violence and incest. Establishing the cult of Brahma (Dada Lekhraj) as a corporeal form of God the Father, announcing BK Prakashmani as the Mother of the World are acts of spiritual incest. Denying the existence of the Supreme Father in the world and showing him as a point in empty space is an act of atheism and spiritual murder of the father. Publishing the images of three BK heads as God’s incarnations is an act of considering humans to be God (Shvoham, I am the form of Shiva). Spreading the message that God is present in BK Gulzar is act of spiritual incest and one of the most serious violations of law established by the Supreme Father. Introducing the practice of the drishti exchange among BK students and 5 times a day traffic control are acts of spreading subtle polygamy, spiritual terror and the Islamic traditions in the world. Organizing festivals, birthday parties and funeral, displaying living and dead bodies are acts of worship of the five elements. The list is of these acts is so long as long is the list mentioned at the beginning. Everything has already had its shooting in the Brahma Kumaris and there is no way to erase those acts. All of them in their violent physical forms as the worst dirt of the humanity will be revealed in the next cycle and all humans will have to pass through this again as there no eternal liberation. Every human soul is bound to play its eternal role in this eternal ever rotating human drama.
The role of Brahma in the confluence age was revealed through Dada Lekhraj:
The Brahma Kumaris are the world wide famous progeny of Dada Lekhraj Brahma.
