Valmiki Jayanti 2024: Valmiki Jayanti is on 17 October, send inspirational messages to loved ones

Ramayana is the center of faith of the people in India. The faith of the people of India resides in this popular and famous epic Ramayana. This great epic Ramayana has been composed by Sage Valmiki. It is a Sanskrit epic, which contains the saga of Shri Ram. Sage Valmiki, the creator of the epic Ramayana, gained fame as the first poet after his composition, but before becoming a sage, he was a robber named Ratnakar.

Narad Muni showed him the direction of good deeds, due to which he had a change of heart and he left robbery and chose the path of good deeds. It is believed that after Ratnakar's change of heart, he did a rigorous penance of Lord Brahma to seek forgiveness for his sins. During this, a layer of termites covered his body. Lord Brahma was very pleased with his penance and named him Valmiki.

There is also a popular story that after Lord Shri Ram Chandra abandoned Mother Sita, she started living in the ashram of Rishi Valmiki where she gave birth to sons Luv and Kush. Rishi Valmiki wrote the story on the life of Shri Ram. Rishi Valmiki was born on the full moon day of Ashwin month. This time this date is falling on 17 October 2024, so Valmiki Jayanti is being celebrated on this day.
