Tulsi Das was a Brahmin Hindi poet and religious reformer. Tulsi Das
lived most of his life as an ascetic at the sacred site of Varanasi
(Benares) in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. According to legend, he
had a dream in which Lord Rama commanded him to write a version of the
Sanskrit epic Ramayana (originally written by Valmiki in a language
that the common people could understand. His version, the
Ramcaritmanas, remains the most popular religious and epic poem in the
whole of Hindi literature.
I call him Rama. You can call him by any other name but have faith in him, surrender all worldly desires and passions to his will and without effort, become disciplined and principled.
