Tulsidas Ramcharitramanas

“What is the ‘ramcharitmanas’? it is Rama’s story or Rama’s conduct as narrated by Swami Tulsidas. However this doesn't quite explain what the word ‘man as a’ (mind) is doing in the title. The explanation given in the ‘ramcharitmanas’ is that this story was in Shiva mind and came to Tulsidas via Parvati and narharidas tulsidas’s Guru.  It is no different with this volume by Professor Arun Tiwari.  as a text The ‘ramcharitmanas’ is suffused with bhakti and Rama’s story and ‘ramcharitmanas’ become what the reader as a bhakta take them to be much more than with any other text. In this case the bhakta is also a re-teller and re-interpreter and bhakti is blended with Advaita Vedanta although labels are best avoided. Goswami Tulsidas composed the ‘ramcharitmanas’ rather late in life. Age brings wisdom. Through this book Arun Tiwari too brings forth the wisdom that he now passes on especially to the younger generation in a novel and engaging way. - br>bibek Debroy eminent author who translated Valmiki Ramayana into English and currently Chairman economic advisory Council to the prime Minister and member niti-aayog government of India. “Profusely blessed Prof. Arun Tiwari the celebrated co-author of ‘transcendence My spiritual experiences with pramukh Swamiji’ with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam has written a modern narrative of the timeless ‘ramcharitmanas’ in the language and flair of the youth.
