Sant Goswami Tulsidas was born in Samvat 1554 who was named Rambola. He became orphan at a very early age. It is said that he was passionately love with his wife who later opened his eyes to the truth that such devotion towards God would entirely change his life.
Accordingly, he became an ascctic and came to Kasi where he began discourses on lord Ram. He wrote the immortal epic Ramayan and other important books like Kavitavali, Dohawali, Geetawali, Krishna Geetawali, Parvati Mangal and Janak Mangal. Tulsidas died in Samvat 1680.
