What does Valmiki say? He is the one that has Lavanasur's story because RCM ended after Shri Ram's Rajyabhishek and did not have Uttarkand.

Either way, he was definitely related to Ravan in some way, right? So ASR did not make up the fact that he was related to Ravan? But I don't think Kumbhinasi was Ravan's sister because only Shurpanakha was his sister...unless she was the sister of Khar and Dushan and was his cousin sister?😕

I dont know what exactly Valmiki Ramayan Says, I only have heard of these two stories! But I agree Ravan has only one reas sister andRam being revenged by the son of some Far sister of Ravana sounds inaccurate! The previous story shown by ASR makes more sense 😊

Ok here is the next question!

Who was Surphnakha's Husband? How he was killed?

(I asked this question because I wanna clease some of my doubts internal regarding it lol 😆)

But these articles dont say anything abt the relation of Ravana and Lavanasura, Neither they say about the revenge Lavanasura want to take from Ram!

They are only indicating about Ram Deciding to kill Lavanasura for the welfare of Sages! 😕

Varnita and Janaki dears how can I ever thank you so much? I am so grateful to you for answering me and you have made me feel so much better truly🤗

Don't thank us Bhakti, because we have not done anything different than friends do for each other.😳 You are very dear to us and though we haven't seen your face, we feel like you're our sister.☺️ So how could we rest knowing that our sister was feeling sad? I'm glad you're feeling happier.🤗

Janaki you have reminded me of the things which is dearmost to my heart which is to think on beloved god - it is like immediate sukhun to the spirit hai na - always a shelter from life's little sharp moments. Yes Bhakti, thinking about God gives us peace of mind even in the worst situation. Especially when others are being critical and mean to us, thinking about God makes us feel like there is always someone looking out for us. So I was able to do this and right away remember the right perspctive to have. i really had not thought of the fact that so many of our aradhyas are dark - i wonder whythis is It's because being dark-skinned or light-skinned is not the basis of life, Bhakti. Too many Indians give such high importance to skin color that it really makes me boil with anger sometimes.😡 I myself do not have fair skin color, and mom tries to make me look fairer with sandalwood pastes and all, and though I know she does not mean it negatively since she's my mother and wants the best for me, I always tell her that if a man refuses to marry me on the basis of skin color without looking to see if I have a good personality or bad, then I am better off not marrying him because such people are fakes. Anyone who judges us based on our skin color are fakes because they only know the superfluous aspects of life. They think what they see is what is real. Like Varnita said, someone dark-skinned can have a beautiful personality and in that way, they are beautiful people, whereas a fair person can be very cruel and if someone terms them beautiful, it is the biggest ignorance on their part. Plus, many of our Gods are dark-skinned and they are described as being very beautiful, attractive people, so if that aunt ever messes with you again you should remind her of this fact.

I could get a smile too finding myself today singing to Chottu and Maithili an old song i knew about when Nandlala asks Yoshodamaiya "Radha kyun gori, main kyun kala?" and i just burst out laughing thinking how even Krishna has asked this question! What does that line mean, Bhakti? I don't know hindi.😳

Btw, I think ki the husband of Soorpnakha was Vidyutjiva (not sure of spelling in Angrezi😆) who was king of the daityas hai na? And Lakshman killed him not realising when he was swinging his weapon in the Dandakaran. I think this as the opening of the strong of events in Dandkaran leading up to Sita Ma's being stolen away by Raavan Vidyutjiva was the son of Shurpanakha Bhakti, not husband. Lakshman killing him by accident led to Shurpanakha roaming the Dandakaranya for his killer and coincidentally setting her eyes on Ramji.
