"By creating an epic like the Ramayana, Maharshi Valmiki gave a lesson in values like sacrifice, compassion and humanism to the society which inspire us to render our service to the deprived sections," Qureshi said in a message on the eve of Valmiki Jayanti.
"On a day like this we should resolve to imbibe Maharshi Valmiki's spirit of magnanimity in our lives. This will be real tribute to him," the Governor said.
In his message on the occasion, the Chief Minister asked people to follow the values taught by Valmiki through the Ramayana.
