Tulsidas-Poet and philosopher
Tulsidas (1532-1623) was a legendary Indian poet and philosopher Tulsidas is the author of the ‘Ramcharitmanas’, one of the greatest epics ever written. His full name was Goswami Tulsidas and he was born in 1532 A.D in Rajpur, in the Banda district of Uttar Pradesh, India, during the reign of Mughal Emperor, Akbar. Tulsidas was a Sarayuparina Brahmin by birth and is regarded as an incarnation of Valmiki, the sage who composed the Ramayana in Sanskrit. He was the son of Atmaram Shukla Dube and Hulsi and was known as Tulsiram during his childhood. Although Tulsidas’s childhood was one of poverty and suffering, he was a devout follower of Lord Rama, and was taught by his guru, Nahari-Das during his days at Sukar-khet. He went on to marry Buddhimati (also known as Ratnavali), from whom he had a son named Tarak.
Goswami Tulsidas’s works were even admired by the Mughal rulers Akbar and Jahangir. In 1623, Tulsidas passed away at the age of 91, in the holy city of Benaras. Even today, his writings display an amalgamation of his intense devotion and philosophical ideologies, making him one of the greatest Hindi poets to ever compose such outstanding literature.
