He was well-versed in both Ayurveda and black magic. It is supposed that he could manipulate the planetary positions at will. He owned a pushpakviman (a flying chariot) that he obtained from his stepbrother Kuber. He had mastered tantra vidya (the science of generating optical illusions of ideas), which he used in conflicts with his opponents.

Ravana attempted to lift Mount Kailash

When Ravana attempted to lift Mount Kailash, Lord Shiva crushed his forehand beneath te mountain, and Ravana began screaming praises to Lord Shiva and pleading for pardon. Lord Shiva was so pleased with Ravana that he began dancing with rage and passion, which is known as tandav, and the chants became known as “The Shiva Tandav Strotram”.

Obtaining an education Ravana performed a massive tapasya (penance) on the banks of the Narmada to satisfy Lord Shiva. Ravana, eager to please the Lord, annexed his head, and each time he did, the head grew back ten times, allowing him to continue his penance. Lord Shiva therefore gave Ravana ten heads that he had sacrificed. Because of these ten heads, he is also known as “Dashmukh”.

The ten heads of Ravana represent the six Shastras (Hinduism’s ancient books divided into four categories: sruti, smriti, purana, and tantra) and four Vedas, which Ravana mastered, making him a brilliant scholar and one of the most intelligent people of his time. He mastered 64 different forms of information as well as all weaponry arts. He is known to have compiled Veda with the appropriate musical svara (notes), and his Shiva Tandava stotra remains the most popular hymn ever performed in worship of Lord Shiva.

Hindu traditions emphasize the significance of regulating one’s senses and projecting only the mind, which is regarded superior to others. Other emotions are thought to be damaging to the development of a soul.

The great monarch Mahabali once advised Ravana to avoid these nine emotions and focus solely on intelligence, arguing that having all of these facets is equally necessary and makes him a complete man. The one head of Buddhi controlled his destiny, while the other heads of Ravana controlled his activities, which eventually led to his demise. He eventually became a slave to his senses, and since he couldn’t control his appetites, he not only ruined himself and his tribe, but also reduced the entire Lanka to ashes.

Having all this information yet being unable to use his abilities was one of his greatest regrets as he lay dying on the battlefield. He regretted not using the wisdom he acquired in his life, which finally contributed to his failure.
