The visionary saint and divine poet Goswami Tulsidas Ji, the immortal composer of Shri Ramcharitmanas, was not merely a literary figure but a spiritual force who shaped the very soul of Bharat. Through his words, he united society with the values of Dharma, compassion, service, self-restraint, and duty.

His epic Ramcharitmanas is not just a religious text — it is a living classroom of Indian ideals: sacrifice, devotion, courage, compassion, dignity, and national duty.

This sacred scripture is read not only across India but also in Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. It has been honored by UNESCO in the Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register.

Today, on the sacred banks of Maa Ganga at Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh, a special Ganga Aarti was dedicated to this great saint. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji offered heartfelt homage and shared, “The life and works of Tulsidas Ji are a lighthouse of inspiration — guiding humanity on the path of truth, Dharma, and devotion for generations to come. By expressing the deep essence of Sanskrit scriptures in the people’s language, Awadhi, he brought Shri Ram’s divine story to every heart and home.”

In a time when India was battling foreign invasions and internal despair, Tulsidas Ji sowed the seeds of a cultural and spiritual revolution through the Ramkatha. His writings not only preserved Sanatan values but also strengthened the spirit of Rashtra Bhava — national consciousness.

Today, as the world faces materialism, anxiety, and ecological crises, Shri Ramcharitmanas serves as a divine remedy — reconnecting us to our roots, nourishing our values, and awakening inner strength.

The Jayanti of Goswami Tulsidas Ji is not just a day of remembrance — it is a reminder of our literary and cultural responsibilities. Let us not only read the Ramcharitmanas, but live its essence in our daily lives.

On this sacred occasion, let us take a solemn vow:

“May we shape our lives according to Shri Ram’s ideals and keep the eternal flame of Sanatan culture glowing for generations to come.”

Endless salutations to Goswami Tulsidas Ji!
