Tulsidas Jayanti 2023: On Tulsidas' birth anniversary, here are 10 popular quotes and dohe by the renowned Hindu poet-saint from India

Tulsidas Jayanti is observed on the seventh day (saptami) of the bright half of the Hindu month of Shravan which typically falls in July or August according to the Gregorian calendar and the day is significant because it commemorates the birth of the great Hindu poet-saint Goswami Tulsidas who made a profound contribution to Hindu literature through his poetic works, particularly the “Ramcharitmanas”, an epic that retells the story of Rama in the Awadhi language, making it accessible to a broader audience. This significant day is celebrated with reverence and devotion by Hindus, especially those who hold Rama and Tulsidas in high esteem.

Born in the early 16th century in present-day Uttar Pradesh, India, Tulsidas is celebrated for his profound contributions to religious literature including the "Hanuman Chalisa" which is also believed to have been written by him. Thought to be a reincarnation of the saint Valmiki, who wrote the first "Ramayana" and was a Hindu poet, Tulsidas' poetry and writings are characterised by their spiritual depth, devotion to Rama and a focus on moral and ethical values.

His impactful verses, teachings and literary creations continue to inspire people seeking spiritual wisdom and a deeper connection with divinity but whatever is known about Tulsidas comes from his contemporary Nabhadas' "Bhaktamal" and Priyadas' "Bhaktirasbodhini", which is a commentary on “Bhaktamal.” This year, Tulsidas Jayanti is being observed on August 23, 2023.
