Tulsidas was born in Rajpur, in the district of Banda in Uttar Pradesh, in Samvat 1589 or 1532 A.D. He was a Sarayuparina Brahmin by birth and is regarded as an incarnation of Valmiki, the author of Ramayana written in Sanskrit.
Tulsidas (born 1543?, probably Rajapur, India—died 1623, Varanasi) was an Indian Vaishnavite (devotee of the deity Vishnu) poet whose principal work, the Hindi Ramcharitmanas (“Sacred Lake of the Acts of Rama”), remains the most-popular version of the story of Rama.
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 the best-known story of his spiritual journey is the one in which his wife pushes him towards total devotion to Rama.
Sant Tulsidas democratized the sacred tale of Lord Rāma by rendering it in the vernacular Awadhi so that common people could understand and sing it. By doing so, he broke caste and class barriers around scriptural knowledge.
Goswami Tulsidas, or simply Tulsidas, was an eminent Hindu saint and a poet. He was a great devotee of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnated form of Lord Vishnu.
Tulsidas was a 16th-century Hindu saint, poet, and philosopher, best known for writing the epic Ramcharitmanas, a retelling of the Ramayana in Hindi. He is revered for his devotion to Lord Rama and spiritual teachings.
Tulsidas was not just a poet or writer but also a saint, social reformer, and a pioneer of the Bhakti movement. He was born at a time when society was going through deep religious, social, and political turmoil.
