 Ravana was a devout follower of
Lord Shiva. After attaining the
education, Ravana underwent an
intense penance to please Lord
Shiva. To appease Lord Shiva,
Ravana even chopped off his head,
it grew back, thereby enabling him
to continue his penance. This
austerity of Ravana pleased Shiva,
and he granted him ten heads.
And thus, he became one of the
most powerful beings on the
earth. The ten heads of Ravana
indicate the four Vedas and six
Shashtras that Ravana mastered.
