Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: There were many people who gave good advice to Ravana, though he did not listen to them - such as Maricha, Sita Piratti, Vibeeshana, Kumbakarna and Malyavan. Malyavan was Ravana's grandfather. Due to his age, relationship, knowledge and worldly experience, he was in the right position to offer his advice to Ravana. He told Ravana " O King! You should not go to war with Rama without knowing His strength. Amongst the boons you received, you never got one that protects you against men or monkeys. Now, both are standing together against you. In addition, this Rama does not appear to be an ordinary human being. It is Lord Vishnu Himself who has incarnated as Rama. Our entire clan will be destroyed in this war. So, return Sita to Rama and make peace with Him " . Ravana however, rejected this good advice. Thirukkolur Ammal is asking " Did I give words of good advice (that show the right path) like Malyavan did?
