Rambola Dubey (Hindi pronunciation:[rɑːməboːlɑːd̪ubeː]; 11 August 1511 – 30 July 1623[1]), known as Tulsidas (Sanskrit pronunciation:[tʊlsiːdaːsaː]),[2&

Biography of Tulsidas

He was the composer of the original Ramayana into Sanskrit. He lived in Varanasi till his death. The name of Tulsi ghat has been kept after him. He was the greatest poet of Hindi literature and founded the temple Sankat mochan in Varanasi.

Goswami Tulsidas was a great Hindu poet as well as saint, reformer, and philosopher who composed various popular books. He is also remembered for his devotion to Lord Rama and being the author of the great epic, the Ramcharitmanas. He was always admired as a reincarnation of the Valmiki (original composer of the Ramayana in Sanskrit and Hanuman Chalisa). Goswami Tulsidas spent his entire life in the city of Banaras and also took his last breath in this city.

History

Tulsidas was born on the 7th day in the month of Shraavana (July or August), in the bright half of the lunar. His birthplace is identified at the Rajapur (also known as the Chitrakuta) at the bank of the Yamuna river in UP. The name of his parents is Hulsi and Atmaram Dubey. The exact birth date of Tulsidas is not clear and different scholar

Reading the biography of Tulsidas was on my list since I read Ramcharitmanas and since I visited his ashram at Tulsi ghat in Varanasi. There even a Tulsi Akhada right behind that which is attributed to him. Little did I realize that I had the biography in my library, picked up during one of my Lucknow trips. Moreover, it has been written by Dr. Yogendra Pratap Singh, the Director of Ayodhya Shodh Sansthan. I have had the privilege of knowing him and working with him for my book ‘Ayodhya Mahatmya’. I knew this is going to be a great read and from someone who has literally taken on the baton from Tulsidas Ji for doing the work of Sri Ram.

The language of the book has a lot of Awadhi influence, especially in the beginning. So, it takes a bit of orientation to mentally be in Awadh and map some of the words. Once you are there, the story just flows. You see an infant Tulsi being orphaned again and again as everyone who takes care of him passes away. It was as if destiny was snatching away everything and at the same time blissfully pushing him towards Ram and Hanuman.
