Tulsidas, affectionately known as Goswami Tulsidas, was a 16th-century saint, poet, and philosopher who was born in Rajapur, Uttar Pradesh. He devoted his life to spreading the teachings of righteousness, devotion, and truth. Tulsidas composed the epic Ramcharitmanas, a retelling of the Ramayana in Awadhi, making the story accessible to the common people.
He also penned other spiritual works like Hanuman Chalisa, Vinay Patrika, and Dohavali. Born to parents named Atma Ram and Hulasi Devi, Tulsidas was reportedly left by his parents after birth and raised by a maid until the age of five. When he was five, Narharidas adopted him, teaching him the Ram Mantra and renaming him Tulsidas.
Tulsidas Jayanti commemorates his birth anniversary, celebrated annually to honor the literary and spiritual genius whose works have profoundly impacted Indian culture and Hindu philosophy. On this day, followers visit temples, recite Ramcharitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa, and engage in spiritual discourses, devotional singing, and kirtans.
