Shiv Leela
Ravan entered Kailash. Lord Shiva is in a deep meditation posture.
Ravan : Pranam Mahadev
Shiva: Ravan, you won't come here without any need.
Ravan: This time your bhakth has come to please you. He started chanting the Lingashtakam.
Lord Shiva mesmerized with his chanting. Once Ravan finished chanting, Shiva opened his eyes.
Shiva: Ravan, what do you want?
Ravan: Lord Shiva, no one is equal to you. I am your best bhakth. You always remember your promise. As asked before, I want you to be with me on my happy moments.
Shiva: Sure. You didn't tell me why you are here.
Ravan: Mahadev, your bhakth is going to launch his book tomorrow in Swarn nagar Lanka. You have to accept my invitation and be the chief guest there. I want you to release the first copy of the book.
Shiva: Okay. What is your book?
Ravan (with a smile): Ravaniyam.
Shiva: You too have niyam??? 😉 okay, I will come. I heard that you have invited all my devotees with due respect.
Ravan (surprised by the sarcasm of Shiva): yes, Thanks for your acceptance. I will take leave now. I have to prepare for your arrival.
Shiva (with a smile): Make sure that the earth's balance is maintained as you invited all to the south.😉
Ravan mind voice "Did Lord Shiva wants me to call Agastya or not".😕
With deep thinking Ravan left Kailash. Matha Parvati entered there smiling.
Shiva: Did you see how I reacted to Ravan?
Parvati: oh, I saw even how he mesmerized you.
Shiva: Devi...
"Narayana Narayana... " the voice heard in Kailash even before the entry of Narada.
Shiva: Narada...
Narada: Pranam Mahadev, pranam matha
Parvati (with a naughty smile): Narada, are you invited for the book launch by Mahadev bhakth
Narada: matha, I don't think anyone can invite me with this respect.
Shiva: Ravan is secular. He will treat both Shiva bhakth and Vishnu bhakth as equal.
Narada: Mahadev, you got only me today?
Shiva: No Narada, today is your matha's day.
Parvati: haah, tomorrow is Mahadev bhakth's day. Narada, you tell me how he invited you?
Narada: Matha, it seems you both are enjoying a lot. Okay, let me tell.
I met Lord Karthikeya on the way to Vaikuntha. He seems to be very upset and Lord Ganesh stopped him on the way and I took part in their conversation. I came to know that Ravan insulted sage Agastya. I thought to ask about this to Lord Mahadev, so rushed to Kailash.
Narada paused for a while.
Parvati: Narada, what to ask? Is it why you are not invited by Mahadev bhakth?😉
Narada: Matha, Ravan should have invited you. The game will be over by today.
Shiva: Narada, tell us what happened.
Narada: I met Lanka naresh Ravan, no no Lanka naresh met me will be the right one.
Shiva: The net result is the same Narada.
Narada: Mahadev, I think I should have gone to Vaikuntha itself.
Parvati: You can go there after answering what I asked you.
Narada: Matha, how can I go there now. I have to go to Lanka now.
Parvathi: Without your Mahadev?
Shiva: Devi, please...
Narad: Matha, Hiranyakashipu seems to be better. Atleast he gave me some respect for saving his wife and son.
Parvati: He was not the favourite Mahadev bhakth. 😉
Shiva: Narada, tell us the matter, I have to do meditation.
Parvati: Yes, narada. No more time, mahadev has to be in Lanka by early morning.
Narada narrated about his conversation with Ravan.
Narada: Lanka naresh Ravan from Kailash.
Ravan: oh Narada. I forgot you.
Narada: That is my blessings. I heard something about you.
Ravan: If you don't hear about me means, you don't worth living.
Narada (shocked): I heard something shocking
Ravan: Why? All other time I did only what you expected?
Narada: Ra...va...n...
Interrupted by Ravan: Narada, I don't have enough time to waste with you. You are wandering here and there, right? By now, you may know that my book Ravaniyam will be launched tomorrow in Lanka. Lord Shiva will release the book. You better attend it. You can have good food for both your ears and stomach.
Narada was stunned by Ravan's invitation.
Ravan left the place with a proud laugh.
Parvati: hmmm... What else can we expect from Lanka naresh Ravan? Do you thought that he will sing Naradapurana to invite you?
Shiva just smiled hearing parvati's words but looked in different direction.
Parvati: Mahadev, seems to be very happy for your bhakth.
Shiva: No devi, I am so happy for your bhakth. See there...😉
Parvati: Oh, no...😲
To be continued...😊
