This Brazilian Ravana - aka Patalaravana or Mahiravana - is probably the brother of Lanka's Ravana. Last year (or before?) I posted an info on him from Puranic Encyclopedia (entry "Patalaravana") into New Age conf. and there was more info about a tunnel in one mysterious mountain called Head of the Giant or so near Rio. Hope this helps. Your servant, bh. Jan www.veda.harekrsna.cz (Bhakti-yoga Vedic Encyclopedia Vedic Library Links) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
