SHRI GOSWAMI TULSIDAS

It is believed that whenever society is oppressed, depressed and feels helpless, it calls out for help from Parmatma. The cries and pleas, when mixed with true devotion and true feelings are always answered by Parmatma.

Either he comes as avtaar or he sends his Representative to heal the society.

So when Goswami ji appeared the society was facing the same type of crisis. He brought about a calmness through his healing touch expressed through his writings which oozed positivity.
He presented Ishwar as saviour who always stood for his bhakts. His language of writing was the then used dialect understood by all. Anyone could read and find answers and solace in it. Other poets were busy pleasing the wily rulers.

Tulsidas is believed to be avtaar of Valmiki.
He was born in Vikram samvat 1554 in Banda district in a village called Rajapur to Atma ram Dubey and Hulsi. He was born with all his teeth intact and did not cry at birth. He was named Tularam.
Goswami ji himself mentioned his date of birth.

पंद्रह से चौवन बिषै, कालिंदी के तीर।
स्त्रावन शुक्ला सप्तमी, तुलसी धरेउ सरीर।।

He was married to Budhimati in Vikram samvat 1583. He was very attached to his wife.
Once when she went to visit her parents, Goswami ji also reached there secretly. The wife was so uncomfortable that she admonished him and asked him to keep more attachment to RAM rather than her. This affected him so much that he immediately returned and turned ascetic.
From then on he travelled to all the tirthasthals for fourteen years. He only met his wife next when he mistakenly visited his in laws house.

There are many miracle stories attached to his bhakti. But true bhakt does not wait for miracles as his bhakti is enough for him
to bring the Parmatma down. But it is believed that a pret gave him a boon to have his wish fulfilled so he asked for a darshan of Prabhu Ram. The pret informed him that there was a temple nearby where Hanumanji comes daily disguised as a leper.
Goswami ji went there and caught the leg of Hanuman ji and requested him to let him have darshan of Prabhu Ram. Hanuman ordered him to go to Chitrakoot. There he saw two Prince's and was just so enamoured that he went on looking at them.
Hanuman appeared and told him that he just had a darshan of Ram and Lakshman. After that there are many instances of Prabhu giving darshan to Goswami ji. It is believed that once Akbar called him to his Court. Tulsidas ji answered back

सन्तन को का सिकरी सो काम
He started writing his greatest epic Ram charit Manas in l631 as ordered by Hanuman ji. It took him two years seven months and twenty six days to complete this epic which changed the lives of many later on. This whole epic was first heard by Hanuman who blessed him to be great.
His other equally important books are:-

Dohavali, Kavitt Ramayan, Geetavali, Ramlala nehchu, Parvati mangal, Janki mangal, Barvai ramayan, Ramaagya, Vinay Patrika, Vairagya Sandipani and Krishna geetavali. The others are Ram satsai, Sankatmochan and Ramsalaka.
His books changed the psyche of that time. His books are still read with equal devotion

He left for paramdham in 1680 at the ripe old age of 126 years.
Today i see maximum Santanis have Ramcharitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa at their home. Infact many of them have also byheart the entire Ramcharitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa.

Also request you to put your favourite verse from Ramcharitmanas in comments section.

Rig Ved 1.40.2

Here marudgans are requested to help the yajmans at the time of war. Our actual war is with ignorance. We will become truly powerful and able bodied only after defeating ignorance. The yajmans request marudgans to make them effective rather than

make them lacking in something. Let their nature and effectiveness be divine. Let their Praan and Pragya { knowledge} become capable. Mind will be enriched only when it is satisfied. Unsatisfied and sad mind cannot carry out the work of Paramarth.

2/9

Only quiet and reclusive mind can think of Paramarth. Those who are unattached can only experience constant mind(स्थिर बुद्धि). The one with determined insight only can know their true self. This is what we wish Parmatma to grant us.
