TULASIDAS |
|
| The Path Of
Bhakti‘Sri Rama is the Parabrahma. He is
all-powerful. He is Purushothama (The Man Supreme). His deeds, word manners and conduct
alone are the models of an ideal life. Singing hymns in His honour as his servants is the
on way to attain His grace and a salvation. Knowing Him to be their master, The duty of
human beings is to offer their services to Him.' This is the sum and substance of the
Bhakti cult of Tulasidas.
After some time Tulasidas began to think of leaving Chitrakoota. This was because he had a feeling that he would not be able to see Sri Rama there. So he went to Ayodhya, the birth place of Rama. For a long time he did 'tapas' (leading a very strict life, giving up all pleasures and devoting all the time to the contemplation of God) there. But even there he did not get the vision of Sri Rama. His mind was not at ease. Day by day his desire to see Sri Rama grew more and more intense. One day it suddenly flashed to his mind that God Anjaneya's grace 'was essential for him to see Sri Rama. Yes. Anjaneya was the greatest devotee of Sri Rama. Only he could help Tulasidas see Sri Rama. So the first thing was, to see Anjaneya. |
