Ravan's clan

Ramayan is spoken loud these days so I thought I'll talk few hidden or untold stories of Ramayan.
No I'm not talking about Ram neither Sita. Yeah you got me its Ravan
all of you might have heard that Ravan was a Brahman and belong to a very respectable clan but, Do you know which clan he belonged to, who was his father? grandfather? how kuber was related to him?

So let dive into mysteries of Ramayan

Ravan was son of Vishshrava muni and grandson of Prajapati Pultsya.

Like any other story, this story also starts with Bramha,

When Bramha decided to created the world, he created people from his mann (doesn't has eng translation but, mind is the nearest term) so they we called his manas santaan(children created from mind).

Here comes that story of Prajapati Pulatsya

Bramha created 10 prajapatis (creator)  and asked them to go out there and expand the world, hope you understood, I mean create progeny.
Now come pulatsya in the story, Pulatsya is one among 10 Prajapatis and he refuses to participate in materialistic world (like many other son of Bramha) and chose to be celibate but, Bramha wanted him to get married so Bramha tricked him and got married him (I tell this full story in coming days).

he had two sons vishrava and agatsya

Vishrava got married to Illavida ( daughter of Bharatwaj muni/ Kuber's mother)
Then keikasi (rakshyas sumali's daughter and Ravan's mother) who got fantasised by Vishrava and later fantasised him and both got married.

Tomorrow we will continue with the individual stories of or I should call love stories of pulastya and vishrava

Pulastya rishi has a very romantic love story. If you don't believe in destined partners stay tuned you may change you perceptions.
