A little bit about - - - The Ramayana >>>

Valmiki's Ramayana is believed to be the first poetic work written in Sanskrit, it is therefore referred to as the 'ADIKAVYA'. it is said that Brahma the creator of our universe assured Valmiki that
" as long as the mountains stand and the rivers flow, so long shall the Ramayana be read by all humans irrespective of gender "
In the Puranas, Rama is described as an avtar of Vishnu, but Valmiki does not refer to him as God. The few verses which do so are considered interpolations.

The Ramayana consists of 24,000 verses and are divided into six sections

__ The Bala Kanda

__ The Ayodhaya Kanda

__ The Aranaya Kanda

__ The kishkindha Kanda

__ The Sundara Kanda

__ The Yuddha Kanda

The seventh section, The Uttara Kanda is problay an interpolation.

Valmiki's monumental work influenced other great poems on the same theme. Among these are the Hindi, Tamil and Bengali versions of the Ramayana written by

- Tulsidas in the North
- Kamban in the South
- Krittivasa in the East.

The Ramayana has made a deep and abiding impact. Bas reliefs and paintings depecting scenes from the RAMAYANA are to be found not only in temples all over India but also in Indonesia and Ankor Vat,and in all temples across the globe
