Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Tulsidas married to Ratnavali, a chaste woman and the newly
wedded couple settled in Rajapur. In due course of time Ratnavali
conceived with a child. She gave birth
to a stunning boy child and named him Tarak, unfortunately the child was died
at early years. Tulsidas was extremely devoted to his wife. Afterwards
the excessive attraction towards his wife became the reason for the
transformation of him as a fervent devotee of Lord. Once, his wife left
to her parental home Tulsidas’s extreme obsession towards her persuaded him to
rush behind her. Tulsidas hurried to her during a night hour crossing the
river Yamuna. His wife sharply criticized his passion for lust, it nailed
down the fascination and turned into pure devotion to Lord.
Tulsidas sacrificed the materialistic way of life and turned
into ascetic. He gave up his home and his wife, and travelled extensively
throughout India and visited many holy shrines that were just the
beginning of the birth of his divine nectar like composition ‘Ramacharita
Manas’.
Tulsidas once again arrived in the holy land Varansi, shortly
at the divine command of Lord he returned to Ayodhya, there he took the initial
step for the composition of immortal epic ‘Sri Ramacharita Manas’. At his
arrival, he founded a secluded place of grove under the banyan tree was already
prepared for him. In the year 1575, on an auspicious day of ‘Sri
Ramanavami’, the day exactly when Lord Rama’s birth took place in Treta Yuga,
Tulsidas begun his marvelous work of composing ‘Sri Ramacharita Manas’.
It took him to complete two years, seven months and 26 days. Finally, it was completed on the day
of Lord Rama’s celestial marriage with Sita in the month of Margashirsha.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
