Ravana in Hindu mythology is a projection of evil. It comes from the epic Ramayana where the Positive is Rama the God, resembling a truthful fearless life and the Negative is Ravana the evil. Ravana’s resembling is always portrayed as a ten-headed King, where his nine heads relate to all the emotions of ANGER, PRIDE, JEALOUSY, HAPPINESS, SADNESS, FEAR, SELFISHNESS, PASSION, and AMBITION. The projection of these nine emotions is showcased as miseries, the devil generating from the core of a theatric thoughtful mind. The tenth head is projected as freedom from these emotions that is SURRENDER. There is a long story but we don't need to go into that. Here I am naming Ravana, as a name for all the emotional fear; fear that never allows one to enjoy freedom. For that first, one needs to let its mind to understand and accept “I am Ravana” (means the creator of my emotions in fear). This very acceptance of fear gives the thirst to take a leap to go beyond. There is a small story, which I need to relate why I chose Ravana. At the Osho resort, where I have worked and used to visit frequently earlier, an Indian friend a few years back asked me if Nirmal is my Sannyas name (When Osho was in body he used to give Sannyas and Sannyas names to his disciples, and till date this process is being followed by his followers, but I have never taken Sannyas. I have always been a rebel). When this Indian friend asked me, I said no and told him it is my legal name that my mother has given me, and I admire her for the joy she took in giving me this name and respect her for all the pain and struggle that she has taken to bring and raise me in this beautiful world. I did have a thought on my friends question that night, and the next day I just told this friend that from now my name is Ravana, he got scared hearing this, as in Hindu philosophy it is not auspicious and a bad omen, to give yourself a name of evil as most of them don’t even know what Ramayana really relates to. He asked me why Ravana, and I just said nowadays I am noticing my miseries, from my emotions and by you calling me Ravana it will remind me to be aware to notice. Most of, even I can say all friends still don’t understand why I did give myself a name Ravana, were one day a learned friend from the Osho resort even suggested, if I change my name all my sufferings will go, it is laughable. It is so funny everybody has given themselves an identity like name, nationality, religion, etc. as a subjective, where they want to identify their purity from these subjects to others. But now I am shunya it means zero. You can call me any name, from any country or religion, for me now name and everything else is just an identity for others. I have already given up my identification.
