Who inspired valmiki to write ramayana

As per the conversations of Narada & Valmiki and Lord Brahma and Valmiki in Sarga1-2, Balkand, Valmiki Ramayana: Till Yudhakand and few stories of Uttarakand: After they happened as narrated by Narada to Valmiki Later stories of Uttarakand: Before they happened as per the divine powers given by Lord Brahma to Valmiki Note: few scholars say that Uttarakand and Balkand were not part of original Valmiki Ramayana and were added later. This is confirmed by Lord Brahma in Uttarakand too: O hero, Valmiki has described herein all miseries and joys thee hasexperienced since thy birth and what shall happen in future. Which stories in Uttarakhand are written before they happened: Narada to Valmiki (Valmiki Ramayana 1.1.94 to 1.1.97) अश्वमेधशतैरिष्ट्वा तथा बहुसुवर्णकै: ।।।। गवां कोट्ययुतं दत्वा ब्रह्मलोकं प्रयास्यति । असंख्येयं धनं दत्वा ब्राह्मणेभ्यो महायशा: ।। Highly renowned Rama, having satisfied the gods with the performance of a hundred of aswamedhas and many suvarnakas bestowing hundreds of thousands of cows and immense wealth on the brahmins, will return to his heavenly abode. राजवंशान्शतगुणान्स्थापयिष्यति राघव: । चातुर्वर्ण्यं च लोकेऽस्मिन् स्वे स्वे धर्मे नियोक्ष्यति ।। Rama will establish hundredfold royal dynasties and employ the four castes to do their respective duties, in this world. दशवर्षसहस्राणि दशवर्षशतानि च । रामो राज्यमुपासित्वा ब्रह्मलोकं प्रयास्यति ।। Rama, reigning the kingdom for eleven thousand years, will attain to his heavenly abode. मा निषाद प्रतिष्ठां त्व...

Many great sages wrote Ramayana in different time and yuga. But great Sage Valmiki is the first writer of Ramayana who wrote whole Ramayana even before the story of Ramayana is completed in real life. Means Ramayana (Story of Rama's life) was being written by Valmiki from birth to death even when Rama was alive. He wrote down all incidents of Rama's life before it actually happened because Valmiki was able to see future. But recently I came to know about a new fact in which it is stated that Hanuman was the first writer of Ramayana. Here is how... After defeating Ravana, Hanuman went to a mountain (don't remember name right now) and start writing Ramayana with his nails. When he did complete his Ramayana then Great Sage Valmiki saw Hanuman's Ramayana and found that his Ramayana is far more superior and better than Valmiki's (mine) Ramayana. So he got tense by seeing Humaana's version of Ramayana. He got afraid that if world will see Hanuman's far superior Ramayana then no one will even notice his Ramayana and no one will praise his work. So Valmiki politely asked to Hanuman that... Ramayana Should only be written by human devotee, not by Lord or incarnation of Lord. Since you are incarnation of Lord Shiva, so you should not write Ramayana Lord Hanuman got convinced by Valmiki's words and destroyed his version of Ramayana so that no one ever could see his Ramayana and world can only witness Valmiki's Ramayana. So is it really true that Hanuman wrote Ramayana before Sage Val...

According to Hindu mythology, the sage Valmiki wrote the Ramayana at the request of Lord Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. The story goes that Valmiki was once a notorious robber named Ratnakara, but after meeting the sage Narada, he renounced his criminal ways and became a sage himself. One day, while Valmiki was meditating by the bank of the Tamasa River, he saw a pair of lovebirds getting killed by a hunter. Grieved by the sight, he cursed the hunter and expressed his sorrow in a verse. As he spoke, the verse became a shloka and it is said that Lord Brahma appeared before him and asked him to compose the story of Lord Rama, which is one of the most virtuous and ideal person, in the same met...
