Sri Ramayana has been written by Valmiki who enquired initially with sage Narada. Akkarakani Srinidhi swamy said in a discourse that we have to be in search of good and learned scholars to seek knowledge. The acharya told them to bring a vessel filled with pure water and see their face in it. The acharya told them “that is you”. Virochana thought his physical body was himself but pondering over it.
