Tulsidas

by Suresh Chandra Sharma, V.B. Khalap (Illustrator)

The Emperor Akbar wanted to honor him but for the poet Tulsidas no honor was greater than telling the story of Lord Rama to ordinary people in a language they understood. His rendition of Valmiki's Ramayana in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi, was different from its Sanskrit original in many ways but such was its popularity that even today every village and town in the Hindi heartland has a troupe that enacts the story of Rama based on Tulsidas' work.

On a reading spree of ACK ..reliving mine and son's childhood. Won't review individual titles unless I have something specific to say.

Goswami Tulsidas made Valmiki's Ramayana accessible to the masses by retelling it in the vernacular Awadhi. Amar Chitra Katha gives us a succinct account of the sage/poet whose Ramcharitmanas came out during the Mughal era and weaved many important societal and cultural changes in the way people worshipped their deities.
