After years of performing severe austerities, the Creator told Ravana to

ask for a boon. He asked that he be invincible to defeat from any devas

or demons. The boon was granted. He didn't think to ask for protection

from men and animals since he considered them insignificant. Sri Vishnu

incarnated as a man (Sri Rama) and with the help of an army of monkeys

destroyed Ravana. In this way Ravana's reign of terror and oppression was

ended without contradicting the boon that he was given from the Creator.

 

Every time Sri Rama seemed to be in dire straights, we must remember that

he was predestined to triumph over Ravana. Sri Vishnu is all-powerful

and could easily counter any threat before it even manifests. However he

chooses to incarnate Himself and enjoy these lilas (pastimes) for our benefit.

The Padma Purana says that by simply remembering the lilas of Sri Vishnu

we pass beyond birth and death.

Ravana was a pure devotee of Lord shiva. He had mastered all the veda's and puranas. He possesed the knowledge of 10 scholars. He is often debited as a negative character in ramayana but if we see his life closely we can interpret the other way around.

 

Lord Shiva was always worshipped by demons and demi-gods because it was easy to please Lord shiva and Lord shiva is said to grant any boon espicially wepons.

 

Even Arjuna had done thapas on Lord shiva before going to the war.

Ravana has aquired the boon that he will not killed by any demi-gods or other rakshasas. He thought humans and animals are too week to defeat him.

 

Therefore Lord vishnu had tocome in human form and lead a army of monkeys to defeat ravana.

 

OM NAMA SHIVAYA..
