Tulsidas

Tulsidas (1523-1624) was a saint poet and philosopher of India. His works greatly influenced Indian devotionalism. He reinterpreted the Ramayana of Valmiki in the epic Sri Ramcharitamanas. He was the leading light of the Rama cult. He set before the people the image of Sri Rama as all virtuous, all powerful, the Lord of the World, and the very embodiment of the Supreme Reality (Parabrahma).
