Several thousand moons back Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, avowed to please his deity, Shiva. An ardent devotee, Ravana, believed that only Shiva could grant his wish. He undertook a long journey on foot, to worship his deity, to Lord’s abode Mount Kailash. Though Himalayan terrain was rugged and weather inhospitable, Ravana was undaunted. It was either to be blessed or perished. Ravana had been immersed in tapasya for so long that vegetation grew over his body! Shiva was pleased with Ravana’s arduous tapasya and granted his wish, that was, to accompany him and live in his Kingdom. He had a sinister design but the Lord also had a plan to defeat it. Shiva succeeded in defeating Ravana’s evil intentions. And he felt that the Lord had deceived him! Thousand years later a boy was born in the town where Shiva had deceived Ravana. He felt that he doesn’t belong to the family, the town and the temple of Shiva. The boy was not at peace with himself.The wandering in homeland couldn’t provide any solace to the boy, a grown up man now. Marrying across social and religious barriers made him a rebel in the society. He then left for Africa. His relations with family members found new meanings there.The restless man immigrated to Canada since a common man’s attitude in his country was nothing short of a sadist. It compelled him to move to society respecting equality between human beings. The conflict in familial relations made him a lonely person.The boy, now an old man, had no option but to come back to the temple town. He felt Shiva has deceived him the way He had deceived Ravana. He was alone, dejected and disheartened.The boy was now at peace with himself!
