Sage Valmiki

Sage Valmiki is an ancient Indian sage and the revered author of the epic poem "Ramayana," which narrates the life and adventures of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his devoted devotee Hanuman. Valmiki is often called the "Adi Kavi," meaning the first poet, as he is credited with introducing the poetic form of Sanskrit literature. His work emphasizes Dharma (righteousness) and moral values, reflecting the cultural and spiritual ethos of Hinduism. Valmiki's life story is also notable, as he transformed from a thief to a sage, symbolizing the potential for change and enlightenment.
