Ravan had a love marriage

Yes, it's tue. I came to know about this on Life Ok's show- devon ke dev, Mahadev.
 
Thanks to the research team, otherwise how could anyone in wildest of dream think that a demon like Ravan, could have a heart that could love a woman which led to their marriage.
 
The story is Ravana comes to the house of Mayasura and falls in love with his daughter Mandodari. Mandodari and Ravana are soon married with Vedic rites. Mandodari bears Ravana three sons: Meghanada, Atikaya, and Akshayakumara.
 
 
Wow, a woman like mandodari, who loved Ravana till his death, knowing all his weaknesses and strengths.
 
Despite Ravana's faults, Mandodari loves him and is proud of his strength. She is aware of Ravana's weakness towards women.A  righteous woman, Mandodari tries to lead Ravana to righteousness, but Ravana always ignores her advice. She advises him to not to subdue the Navagraha, the nine celestial beings that govern one's destiny, and not to seduce Vedavati, who would be reborn as Sita and cause the destruction of Ravana.
 
 
 A tue wife and beloved--Mandodari.

An Article by Shoba De--Me, Marathi

I am married to a Bong, who has lived and worked in Mumbai for over 30 years (but alas, has not been appointed ambassador to the state of West Bengal yet!). He attends Durga Puja regularly and prefers maacher jhol to vangi bhaat. Fortunately, we don't have a daughter-in-law to name a college after, either in Kolkata or Mumbai.... And our children (like yours) did not attend Marathi-medium schools.. We employ people based on their competence, not caste or region. And I have never asked the vegetable vendor, bread...

Remembering Maa

Image
 Maa It's been 5 years now emotionally and 1 year physically that you left us. 5 years because you were never the same after Papa went away. I have seen what a devastated, depressed person looks like. I never saw the same sparkle in your eyes when you laughed, never the same zeal in doing anything. I never in the remotest of my thought imagined that I will ever see you like that.   Since 2014, I never prayed or bowed before Goddess Durga as she took away my father first and then you in 2019. I kept complaining to her for not seeing our pain and loss until few months before I realized that she saw your suffering and your pain which was much beyond ours. You taught us everything but you missed to teach us how to live without you. I have lots of things buried in my heart because there is no ears around for me.  Today i came across this poem which matches my grief. I am certain that both of you are together now, I am sure both of you are still tirelessly praising each ot...
