It is said that Lord Rama killed Ravana on the tenth day of the month of Ashwin. Ravana was very powerful and if there were no warriors like Vibhishana, Hanuman and Jamwant, then probably Shri Ram would have faced even more difficulties in killing Ravana.
The war between Shri Ram and Ravana lasted for days and in the end Ravana was killed, but what would have happened if Shri Ram could not kill Ravana?
This is the final battle between Rama and Ravana. Rama has pursued Ravana in his chariot and fires golden arrows, which turn into serpents as they reach Ravana. The arrows cut off Ravana’s many heads but they immediately grew back again. This goes on for days and nights, and Ravana shoots hundreds of arrows as the two fight to the death.
Matali, Rama’s charioteer watches the struggle and suggests that “To kill Ravana you must use the dreaded arrow of Brahma, given to you by Agastya, which never misses its target”. So Rama shot the divine arrow, which had the power of the gods in it, which pierced Ravana in the heart and killed him.
It is said on the basis of public opinion that if Lord Rama had not killed Ravana, the sun would have set forever.
To kill Ravana, Shri Ram first worshiped Mata Katyayani, who had protected Ravana’s Lanka.
Then with the help of Hanumanji, where he knew the kingdom of another Lanka and included Vibhishana in Rama’s army, he also learned the secret of Ravana’s death by Vibhishana.
Vibhishana had a spy, whose name was ‘Anal’. Taking the form of a bird, he went to Lanka and found out about the defense system and military power of Ravana and informed it to Lord Shri Ram.
It was Vibhishana who told Rama the secret of the death of Kumbhakarna, Meghnad and Ravana. In the end, on the day of Dashami, Shri Ram killed Ravana with his bow and arrow.
It is believed that before going for the battle with Rama, Ravana deposited his soul with a hermit called Fire-Eye. The hermit was supposed to guard Ravana’s soul and keep it safe until he came back for it. During the battle, Rama was surprised to see that none of the arrows that struck Ravana could harm him. The secret about Ravana’s soul was known to one of Rama’s allies, who transformed himself into Ravana and went to the hermit asking to return his soul. As soon as the soul was set free, Rama killed the demon king Ravana.
The Story of Rama’s Death :
When it was time for him to die, Rama deceived Hanuman. This was because Hanuman would not let Yama claim Rama’s soul, and thus, it was impossible for Rama to die. To distract Hanuman, Rama threw his ring in a crack and asked Hanuman to get it. Hanuman turned himself into the size of a beetle and jumped inside the crack which led him to Naag Lok (where serpents reside). He asked King Vasuki of Naag Lok for the ring, who guided him towards a pile of rings, all of which belonged to Rama. Hanuman was shocked seeing the pile of rings, and Vasuki informed him that he was tricked by Rama. Read Bhajans : https://allbhajanlyrics.com/
