Foreword
There are versions and versions of adi kavyam- Sri: Ramayana. The story has inspired countless artists and continues to do so. Different perspectives, whether of the characters in the epic or of the writers, are highlighted in different versions at different times. In this book, the perspective of Ravana is the focus.

Ravana narrates the tale, giving out 'secrets' that not even Valmiki knew. Ravana says he has consciously taken up the role of the "Bad" to "teach the eternal lesson that Bad will always be defeated by Good." The bonus for us humans is that Ravana did not forget to mention immunity from humans in his boons but merely ensured our "pride" in our species by having the Lord take the human form. The narrative goes on in this spirit.

If this Ravana of this book can teach us to tap our human potential for the welfare of all, this will certainly be welcome. Much depends upon ourselves as to how we use our mind. We could see demerits even in the Lord and see merits even in Ravana. Seeing good in all, celebrating well in all, and learning well from all is definitely welcome. Only caution is we should make sure the moral compass of what is good and what is bad is not broken. On this note, we offer mangalasasanams to Bala Venkateswara Rao Sankuratriji for his effort!

Introduction
My name is Ravana.

Yes. I am the Ravana.

I was the one who abducted Sita, I was the one who set fire to Anjaneya's tail and I was the one who fought with Rama. You may think I am mad. I don't care. You may think, being me is bad. I still don't care .... Fact is, I Am The Great and being Me is next to impossible.

The game of Chadarangam (Chess) was created by me. Casually. I designed it as something to entertain, something to play with my loving wife Mandodari and it is still the most intellectual game on this planet.

I was the one who derived musical notes. You can call it what you want, be it the so called Karnatic or Hindustani or Western notes. You modern men can call it what you want, it was me who introduced those notes to the world. Some of you croon Sa Re Ga Ma and some others may hum Do Re Mi. Well, if you dig back into the history of music, you will find their roots also trace back to me.

I am the master of Vimana Shastra. I was the one who taught your mankind how to fly. It was not your Wright Brothers, trust me. I was the one who introduced the science of astronomy and astrology to this world.
