Unknown facts from the Ramayan

On the last day of the war in Ramayan...

The vanquished Ravan lying on the ground, groaning in pain, awaiting his death.

Ram calls his brother Lakshman.

Lakshmana, the ever obedient brother says “Yes brother, what do I have to do.”

Dear Lakshman, for all his faults, Ravan is still a great man, very learned and full of wisdom. 

A great Shiv Bhakt, a benevolent Chakravarti, Singer, Musician, Expert in Veena, knows the Vedas by heart. 

Go to him, pay your respects and request him to share his learning before he departs from this world.

Lakshman immediately proceeds to the ground where Raavan is lying and stands near his head. 

Hearing the footsteps and recognising that Lakshman is standing near his head, Ravan keeps quiet.

Lakshman waits for a long time and then returns frustrated to Ram. 

Ram, the all knowing, smiles and says...

Lakshman, when you go to someone for learning, you have to stand at their feet, not sit besides their head. 

Lakshman goes back and stands near Ravan’s feet.

Looking at Lakshman, Ravan now smiles and welcomes him.

He asks Lakshman to come near him so that he can whisper in his ears.

Says Ravan, I will teach you the 4 most important things which all must follow to be successful :

1. Don’t get hooked to WhatsApp and waste your precious time believing every story on it.

2. Don't send video files more than 3 MB and waste people's time. They don't have that much time to squander.

3. Don’t squabble with friends on social media, especially on politically motivated topics and spoil your mood and relationships.

4. Do not talk about the Foreign policy , Budget or great Govt decisions whether it be whichever year , Govts change , opinions change and friends remain the same !!!!
