Here, the Indian poet Valmiki is narrating the entire history of the Ramayana to his disciples. Valmiki lived a simple life as a poet and holy man in a hut in the forests of northern India. Valmiki was inspired to compose his verse after visits from the Gods Narada and Brahma. Valmiki had a burning question and asked Narada: who was the greatest person in the world – the most accomplished, wise and compassionate? Narada replied that the ideal human being was a famous king called Rama: “He is strong and beautiful, wise and compassionate, pure in character and loved by all. He has deeply studied the ancient wisdom, is brilliant in archery and courageous in battle. In gravity he is like the ocean, in constancy like the Himalayas and in generosity like rain”. Later Brahma came to give Valmiki divine inspiration for his verse and afterwards, Valmiki fell into a meditative trance and saw for himself the life and adventures of Rama and Sita. He composed the story in verse and taught it two his disciples as shown here. Then he travelled around northern India, reciting it to all who would listen. This image is probably from the prologue of the Bala Kanda, the first book of the Ramayana. It is an illustration from an early 18th century Ramayana manuscript produced in Udaipur, India.

SUMMARY: Valmiki was contemporaneous with Lord Ram. At same time he wrote the Ramayana through the revelation that he got by the grace of Brahma. And through the outline narration that he got from Narada muni. So it is not like an ordinary history book which is based on historical research and references. It is a direct revelation. But that revelation happened at the time of the Ramayana itself. That is while the Ramayana was being enacted because the pastimes of the lord are eternal. Whenever Lord descents in the world, He performs his pastimes. So therefore these pastimes which are eternal, their prototype is revealed in the heart of Valmiki rishi and he spoke this out and wrote it. He then taught it to Luv Kush. So Luv Kush were able to narrate to the Lord even the future of His pastimes. So basically Ramayana was written at the time of Lord Ram when He was there and was not written from the point of view of “author doing research and writing”. It is a result of a revelation from higher sources. FULL ANSWER: The Valmiki Ramayana itself describes how it was written. In the start there is a description that the sage Valmiki meet narad muni and asks him for the description of a perfect person who is endowed with various cherished virtues that make the person wonderful.

Of course in Valmiki ...
