The story begins with the sage Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana. Valmiki was abandoned in the forest at birth by his Brahmin parents but was found and raised by a hunter. As a result, Valmiki became a hunter and a robber. One day, he encounters the heavenly sage Narada, who fearlessly faces him. Intrigued by Narada's fearlessness, Valmiki asks why he isn't afraid. Narada explains that he feels love and compassion for all beings because he sees the divine in everyone. This concept is foreign to Valmiki, who is only familiar with violence and brutality. Narada informs Valmiki about the karmic consequences of his actions and advises him to meditate on the Supreme Being. Narada gives him the mantra "Rama," but Valmiki is unable to repeat it correctly. However, Valmiki can say the word "mara," which means "tree." Narada blesses him and instructs him to repeat that word instead. Valmiki meditates for many years until he is covered by an anthill. Narada eventually returns and awakens him from his deep meditation. Valmiki realizes his true identity and is named Valmiki. Narada informs Valmiki that he must go to the river Tamasa, where Sita, Rama's abandoned wife, will arrive soon. Valmiki is tasked with caring for her and her children until they can reunite with Rama. Valmiki establishes his hermitage near the river Tamasa and gains disciples. One day, he witnesses a fowler kill a male bird while it is mating, causing great sorrow. Valmiki spontaneously curses the fowler but la...

How Valmiki Got His Name He was a Brahman by birth belonging to the lineage of Bhrigu. Fate consigned him to a family of robbers which brought him up. Accidental contact with the Saptarsis — the Seven Sages and with the sage Narada changed his life. By the repetition of Ramanama or the name of Ram, he attained the supreme state of a 'maharshi' or great sage. Since a 'valmika' or an anthill had grown over his body during his long period of austerities and poised state of penance, he came to be known as Valmiki. The Epic Vision When the mythical sage Narada came to his hermitage, Valmiki who received him with due honor, posed a question — who was an ideal man? The reply came from Narada in the form of Samkshepa Ramayana which formed the foundation on which the magnificent 24,000 verse edifice was built by Valmiki. Then, immersed deep into this story, Valmiki left for the river Tamasa with his disciple Bharadwaj. The pleasant and placid river reminded the seer of the mature and modest quality of his hero. He visualized a pure and pious man's mind reflected in the deep waters. In the next instant, he witnessed a heartless hunter mercilessly killing a male bird that was in love with its mate. The piteous wailing of the distressed female moved the heart of the sage so much that he spontaneously uttered a curse on the hunter. However, this curse came out of his mouth in the form of a 'sloka', a perfectly metrical composition, which surprised the sage himself: "No — You shall not ...
