Tulsidas Jayanti Quiz

July 31 is Jayanti of Tulsidas. It is 528 years since his birth. Gandhiji once described Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas as ‘the greatest book in all devotional literature.’ Ramcharitmanas means ‘the splendid lake of Rama’s deeds.’ Manas as it is fondly called, is the holy book for many in the North. It is justly famous for his lyrical outpouring on Bhakti. It is an equally joyful rendition of the intricacies of Hindu philosophy. On his Jayanti, let’s examine what ‘Tulsi the Philosopher’ has to say in Manas. We use Pavan Varma’s delightful book as our reference as well as the website https://ramcharitmanas.info/.
