VALMIKI JAYANTHI - 17 - 10 - 2024

Rishi Valmiki was believed to be a highway dacoit. His earlier name was Ratnakara.  When he met Narad Muni, who was a Hindu messenger, he started meditating upon Lord Rama  to become Valmiki and wrote Ramayana – Story of Rama. 

Valmiki Jayanthi is also to as Pragat Diwas. 

With reverence, devotees commemorate Valmiki Jayanti, a day to pray, recite poems from the Ramayana. It is a celebration of knowledge, morality, and the eternal lessons taught by the Ramayana. The festival of Maharshi Valmiki is celebrated in a grand manner in Valmiki Temple at Thiruvanmiyur in Chennai. This is a 1,300 years old temple. Rishi Valmiki  was believed to have come and stayed at this place, after writing Ramayana. Later on, the temple was built in his name.

LET US ALL BE BLESSED BY SAGE VALMIKI WITH RAM BHAKTI
