"Where there is Rama, there is no desire; where there is desire, there is no Rama."

Archival Overview

Revered Sanskrit scholar and Awadhi poet who composed the epic 'Ramcharitmanas'—bringing the Ramayana to the common people—and authored the immortal 'Hanuman Chalisa'.

Biographical Record

Tulsidas (c. 1511–1623 CE) lived an ascetic life on the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, believed to be an incarnation of sage Valmiki.

Writing in vernacular Awadhi despite fierce opposition from orthodox Sanskrit scholars, his Ramcharitmanas replaced the inaccessible Sanskrit epic with a living household scripture that anchored Indian folk culture.
