I have read that Ravana was a Great Scholar and a great Shiva Bhakt.
Based on this efforts were made to describe him as a good character by the protagonists of the Aryan Invasion theory, especially by the motley group of DK and DMK.
They argued that Ravana was a Dravida, Ram, an Arya and that the North Indians were trying to dominated the South my misinterpreting the Epic.
In the process, these jokers forgot Ravana is described as a Brahmin.
If this group hates anything more in Life, it is Brahmins.
Thus they scored a self goal!
RS Manohar,The Great Dramatist Tamil Nadu has ever seen, was conned by this misinformation and he produced Ilangeswaran, a Drama describing
Ravana as A good Man.
The flip side is Ravana was a Brahmin!
He was reported to have invited Kanchi Periyavar to this drama as it was from an Epic and was well researched.
Periyavar’s reply was’
“I do not know anything about Research.
Ravana coveted other’s wife.
This one act has wiped out all His Punya and his Devotion to Shiva.
I shall not attend and he did not.
What is not known is that Ravana has written an Astrological Treatise, The Ravana Samhita.
This was narrated to him by Lord Shiva Himself and this sis considered to be an authentic Book on Astrology.
“Ravan Samhita is an astrological text or scripture narrated by lord Shiva and written by Ravana. Ravan Sanhita is the testimony to his great
astrological knowledge and is considered as the standard book of reference by astrologers even today.”

Excerpt.
Ardra constellation is the 6th constellation located in the sign of Gemini & has the
Navamsas of Jupiter & Saturn. 1st Navamsa is that of Sagittarius, 2nd Navamsa is that of
Capricorn, 3rd Navamsa is that of Aquarius, 4th Navamsa is that of Pisces. This must be borne
in mind when reading the results of various 4 padas (quarters) as per some scholars, at times
one finds the traits of the navamsa sign and lord giving results as per padas but at times it
does not make sense. The toughest part of astrology for the non-obsessive predictors that is
the ‘Explorers’ is to understand why the Rishi has given such and such a result, to understand
the basis of the results given in classics for a particular combination but unfortunately the
sages never explained the reasoning nor have the past scholars been successful in explaining it
all. Please note that it is very difficult to find charts where planet would be in exact pada and it takes a
long time to find one. So here we have taken Sun in Ardra Nak, ignoring the pada number given by
Ravana and only trying to understand if the results in actual charts are atleast nearby. This will be
followed in all examples.
General results of being born in Ardra Nakshatra
1. Such natives are extremely sincere in their work and also are too sensitive. It is noticed that
even when in a slight problematic situation they go through mental torture but ironically at
times they can keep a very cool head under great stressful situations.
2. If females have the first menses in this Nakshatra, she will have immoral life, defective
sexual organ, will give birth to dead children.
3. Normally, a native born in this constellation earns his livelihood away from his home and
family. In other words he is settled in foreign places. The period between 32 years and 42
years of age will be the golden period for such natives. He may be employed in transport,
shipping, communication departments or industries. He may also earn as a book seller or
finance broker.
4. His marriage will be delayed. In case marriage takes place early he will be compelled to live
separately from the family either due to difference of opinion between the couple or due to
other circumstances beyond his control. When the marriage takes place at a later stage his
married life will be good. His spouse will exercise full control over him.
