Ramayana is not "from" the Vedas. Vedas predate Ramayana.

However, "Bhagavadgeetha", which is popularly* considered to be the holiest of Hindu texts is from Mahabharatha, which takes place after Ramayana.

* I say popular because there is no universal agreement on Bhagavadgeetha to be canonical source of Hindu philosophy and religion. However, it has a very good condensation of the teachings of various hindu philosophical schools which can be understood with comparatively less study than the Vedas, the Vedanta and other bodies of knowledge.
