Страница на Русском Валмики Муни

Valmiki the author of the Ramayana. After giving up the profession of a robber by the grace of the Devarsi Narad, Valmiki meditatively chanted the Name of the Lord under a tree for so long that an ant hill was built over his body. After his Gurus, the seven rsis, pulled him out of the ant hill (valmika), he became known as Valmiki. He was later blessed by Devarsi Narad and Lord Brahma to record the Pastimes of Lord Ramachandra in writing.
