I found this interesting..

In the Great Epics of India, Ramayana and Mahabharata, war ends not with celebration of victory but with transmission of knowledge. In the Ramayana, Ravana lies mortally wounded on the battlefield, when Rama turns to his brother Lakshmana, and says, "While Ravana was a brute, he was also a great scholar. Go to him quickly and request him to share whatever knowledge he can." The obedient Lakshmana rushes to Ravana's side and whispers in his ears, "Demon King, all your life you have taken not given. Now the noble Rama gives you an opportunity to mend your ways. Share your vast wisdom. Do not let it die with you. For that you will be blessed." Ravana responds by simply turning away. An angry Lakshmana goes back to Rama and says: "He is as arrogant as he always was, too proud to share anything." Rama looks at his brother and asks him softly, "Where did you stand while asking him for knowledge?" "Next to his head so that I hear what he had to say clearly." Rama smiles, places his bow on the ground and walks to where Ravana lies. Lakshmana watches in astonishment as his brother kneels at Ravana's feet. With palms joined, with extreme humility, Rama says, "Lord of Lanka, you abducted my wife, a terrible crime for which I have been forced to punish you. Now, you are no more my enemy. I see you now as you are known across the world, as the wise son of Rishi Vishrava. I bow to you and request you to share your wisdom with me. Please do that for if you die without doing so, all your wisdom will be lost forever to the world." To Lakshmana's surprise, Ravana opens his eyes and raises his arms to salute Rama, "If only I had more time as your teacher than as your enemy. Standing at my feet as a student should, you are a worthy recipient of my knowledge. I have very little time so I cannot share much but let me tell you one important lesson I have learnt in my life. Things that are bad for you seduce you easily; you run towards them impatiently. But things that are good for you, fail to attract you. You shun them creatively, finding excuses to justify your procrastination. That is why I was impatient to abduct Sita but procrastinated in meeting you. This is the wisdom of my life, dear Rama. My last words I give to you." With these words, Ravana dies.

They did not take birth same day. The brothers were each born on a different nakshatra so they had few days age difference between them.

I have a question though. Since Sesha always leaves Earth before Vishnu, why did Balram and Krishna both take samadhi at the same time? Also, why did Rukmini and Krishna's other wives immolate themselves on his pyre like ordinary ladies? The end of Krishna always mystifies me, because it seems like an end to an ordinary human, doesn't it?
