Significance of the Ramayana Tradition
The Ramayana is one of the most revered texts in Hindu tradition. Originally composed by Sage Valmiki, it became a source of inspiration for numerous Sanskrit and regional adaptations, including the Adhyatma, Mantra, Adbhuta, and Ananda Ramayana. The Ananda Ramayana reflects post-Vedic influences and integrates additional divine narratives, enhancing the philosophical and devotional dimensions of Lord Rama's story.
