is called Adi Kavya, meaning the first great poem and Valmiki, Adi Kavi or the first great
poet. In that poem Valmiki has described the story of Rama, the best of the Raghu race, and his destruction of the ten-headed Ravana, with all the graces of perfect poetry. The book consists of seven cantos and is written in the Anushtubh metre. In all, it has 24,000 verses representing the 24 letters of the Gayatri. Its recital in the proper manner has been known to endow good fortune and ward off untoward happenings in our lives. The lessons of the Ramayana are more relevant than ever today. |
