Amazing Facts About Ramayan: In Sanatan Dharma, the epic Ramayana is read in every household. In which every aspect of Lord Rama's life is described in detail. An episode of Ramayana not only depicts the killing of Ravana, but it also reveals the deep secrets of life. The purpose of the 32 arrows shot by Lord Rama at Ravana was not just his death, but was a teaching process.

These 32 arrows destroy the vices within Ravana and pave the way for the purification of his soul. Understanding this secret can give a new direction to our life, where we face our inner flaws and try to remove them. Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma is giving more information on this subject.

Ravana, the king of Lanka, was not just a great scholar and devotee, but he also suffered from ego and pride. He had acquired his powers through devotion to Lord Shiva, but used his knowledge and power on the path of evil. In Ramayana, Ravana is portrayed as an extremely powerful and knowledgeable character who even fought with Gods and sages. But Ravana's ego overpowered his power and knowledge, due to which his downfall was certain.

It is said in the scriptures that Ravana had 32 main qualities within him, but due to some of these demerits, he had moved on the path of evil. To destroy the effect of this ego and sin, Lord Rama shot 32 arrows at Ravana. The purpose of each arrow was to destroy those qualities of Ravana, which could cause his death.

Mystery of the 32 arrows

These 32 arrows are an esoteric symbol, which depict the virtues and vices hidden within Ravana. Through these arrows, Lord Rama destroyed Ravana's sins and ego, so that he could finally face the consequences of his actions. Each arrow destroyed one of Ravana's vices and paved the way for his death. This was not just a physical act of war, but a spiritual process, in which Lord Rama destroyed the vices within Ravana.

Lord Rama's aim

According to Ramayana, Lord Rama's aim was not just to kill Ravana, but he wanted Ravana's sins and vices to be destroyed and he to receive the fruits of his deeds. Ravana was killed with 32 arrows, so that the balance of 32 virtues and vices within him could be destroyed. This incident teaches us that we should identify the flaws within us and try to correct them, so that we can walk on the right path in life.
