Goswami Tulsidas was born in Rajpur in the Banda district of Uttar Pradesh in the 16th century. Tulsidas is considered to be an incarnation of Valmiki, the sage who composed the original Ramayana, and is counted among the foremost devotees of Lord Rama.
Perhaps one of the best-known story of his spiritual journey is the one in which his wife pushes him towards total devotion to Rama. Tulsidas was a devotee of Lord Rama from early childhood, and these words affected him deeply. He left his home a family to become a wandering saint in search of the unconditional love of his Lord Rama.
The Ramcharitmanas is Tulsidas’s flagship writing. He is also the author of several other works including Vinaya Patrika, Gitavali, Dohavali and Kavitavali.
His minor works include Baravai Ramayana, Janaki Mangal, Ramalala Nahachhu, Ramajna Prashna, Parvati Mangal, Krishna Gitavali, Hanuman Bahuka, Sankata Mochana and Vairagya Sandipini. Furthermore, he authored Hanuman Chalisa, a powerful and popular 40 verses mantra for Hanuman.
The writings of Tulsidas, especially the Ramcharitmanas are examples of an extraordinary combination of supreme devotion and pure non-dualistic philosophy.
Ramcharitmanas is not just a story, it presents the teachings of ancient Sanatan Dharma in narrative parables combining both philosophical and devotional elements.
