Everybody in Sri Lanka and India know about Ravana through ramayan,right?But is the story in Ramayana true?Does it hide anything from us?Well Ramayana is the story from Indian side,How many of you know about that story from Sri lankan side?
The information in this series of posts are gathered from several books,tv programs and magazines,and some are Sri Lankan folklores.and i visited most of the places mentioned in these posts.So are you ready to start a journey to few thousands of years back...Here you go....
Ravana aka Dasis Ravana was a king (I'd like to say an emperor) lived in Sri Lanka(at that time it was helanka) about 7500 years ago.The meaning of "Dasis"is ten areas,many people misunderstand this as ten heads,but it is wrong.According to many sources king Ravana ruled a part of India,a part of China,North east Asia and several other countries.
King Ravana had a good knowledge about medicines,and he was a very intelligent person,and Ravana and sri lankan people in that era worshiped Sun.They believed that its the power source behind everything,(it's true isn't it?trees absorb solar power and all the other living beings consume that energy)So they were called "Surya Vanshika"people.
In sri lankan folklore there are interesting stories which can change the whole image of Ramayana,and the things hidden by Ramayana author,like Seetha is Ravanas' daughter.I will see you in a next post about that story and about Ravanas flying machines and his airports.
