What is the purpose of the Ravana Gita?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: See, if you know about the Ravana Gita then you also know what it has been composed for.
There are different kinds of Gita (literally meaning knowledge sung in the form of verses), each with a different purpose. But the essence of all these scriptures is the same, i.e., Atma Jnana (Self-knowledge).
There is a couplet in Hindi, 'Atma jnana bina sab soona; kya Kaaba kya Kashi'. (Meaning: What good are holy places of pilgrimage if one does not have Self-knowledge?).
