Rambola Tulsidas

In Rambola Tulsidas, acclaimed author Sanjib Chattopadhyay presents a deeply evocative fictional biography of Goswami Tulsidas—the poet-saint whose verses shaped the spiritual consciousness of India. From his miraculous birth with thirty-two teeth (deemed a curse), abandonment by his family, and upbringing in an ashram, to his turbulent marriage and profound spiritual awakening, this novel traces the extraordinary life that gave the world the Ramcharitmanas. Inspired by divine instruction, Tulsidas composed the Ramayana in the common tongue of Ayodhya—bringing Lord Ram’s story to every home and every heart. His dohas, forged in the crucible of personal pain and ecstatic devotion, strike like thunderbolts—exposing social hypocrisy and uplifting human consciousness. This novel chronicles Tulsidas’s transformation from a man of worldly attachment to a sage who lived and breathed Ram naam. His journey—from Banaras to Chitrakoot, from rejection to revelation—is told with Sanjib Chattopadhyay’s signature blend of lyrical grace, mythic imagination, and profound philosophical insight. He received spiritual guidance and direction from Mahavir Hanuman himself. Tulsidas left behind his mortal form at the temple door. He becomes, once and forever, Rambola—the eternal devotee whose soul echoes in every chant of Ram.This book is designed in the traditional ‘punthi’ style, bound in rich satin fabric, reminiscent of classical manuscript aesthetics.
