(b.1543? probably Rajapur, India, d.1623, Varanasi), Tulsidas was an Indian sacred poet whose principal work, the Shri Rama charita-manasa. ("Sacred Lake of the Acts of Shri Rama"), became an extremely popular form of devotional literature which has exercised an abiding influence on the devotional culture of North India. He belonged to no sect, he founded no sect, and he was just a simple Hindu conforming to caste and worship. While worshipping Shri Rama as supreme in his writings and sacred poems, he also paid attention to Krishna and Siva. He is famous for the Tulsai-Kirtan-Shri Ramayan (or Tulsidas's Song of Shri Rama), throughout Northern India. It is recognized as the "Bible" of millions in North India and is probably more familiar to persons in North India than the Bible is to the average westerner. Many bhaktas know its most famous verses. Shri Ram, Sita and Laxman travelling through woods came down to Nasic in Maharashtra near bank of river ‘Godavari’, and settled down for some time. One day Laxman asked Shri Ram to teach him ‘Vedanta’ philosophy. Shri Ram explained ‘Vedanta’ in very short words. This dialogue between Shri Ram and Laxman is popularly known as Ram Geeta. Anyway, my friends, it is not important which school of philosophy you follow, even which ‘Ism’, you are born with but you may love to know scientific ways for developing oneself in direction of supreme reality. Devotion is most powerful method of self-development. It is nothing but Love to the God. Shri Rama Himself narrates about this aspect to his beloved brother Laxman who was utmost devotee of Him.
