hi dont know if this is posted but if it is then this topic is most welcome to close

hehe

i just saw a promo of kumbhakaran sleeping

huge rakshas sleeping somewhere in hills

and snoring

IF KUmbhakaran is waking up now means when the battle begins he wud be waken up before time isnt it

i do remember the story of kumbhakaran thoda bahut

ravan vibishan and kumbhakaran did tapasaya

ravan asked for some vardaan dontknow what vibishan for god bhakti and kumbhakaran was goin to ask something bt saraswati devi came on his tongue and he ended up asking for sleep

then ravan and vibishan had requested god (cant recall who) that if kumbhkaran sleeps throughout thats no good thas why he was given that 6months he wud sleep then wake up one day for food and other things and go bck to sleep but if he is woken up before time his death wud come

does anyone know full story

I hav posted it before under the topic 'names n their meaning" . I m posting it again

Kumbhakarna : the word means "Pitcher-eared". (Younger brother of Ravan. He is said to have devoured thousands of beings including sages and heavenly nymphs and the gods were anxiously waiting for retaliation. He did Tapasya of Brahma to for getting "INDRA PADA". Brahma was pleased n was about to grant him a boon when the gods requested Ma Saraswati to sit on Kumbhakarna's tongue and to pervert it. Accordingly he asked for "NIDRAA PADA" instead of asking "INDRA PADA" n it was readily granted. He slept for six months at a time n used to remain awake only for one day. It is said that he drank 2000 jars of liquor to increase his power during Ram-Ravan war)
