“Lord Rama sent his brother Lakshman to go to Ravana, who was on his death bed, and asked him to fall at Ravana’s feet and seek the knowledge of governance and public administration,” he said.
Ravana was the foremost scholar and practitioner of governance. He was a Vedic scholar and a devotee of Lord Sankara. Even today, we recite the Tandav Stotra authored by Ravana. However, his knowledge is meaningless without Bhakti, as the scriptures taught us,” he said.
