Namaste

Last Sarga of Yuddha Kaanda (Raama Pattabhisheka) serves as a conclusion of Srimad Vaalmiki Raamayan. I came to know Bala Kaanda and Uttara Kaanda are later additions and weren't rendered by Sri Vaalmiki. Is it true? I have got Srimad Vaalmiki Raamayan from Gita press. It has both Bala and Uttara Kaanda. Book written by Sri. Keerthanacharya C.R.Sreenivasa Ayyangar (Lifco publication ) and English version from the same publisher doesn't have Uttara Kaanda.

I was following Raamanin Aruamudham by U Ve Krishnan Swamigal earlier but lost track after Sundara Kaanda.

I will be grateful if members can share wisdom along with the reason why those two Kaanda should/shouldn't be part of Srimad Valmiki Raamayan.
