The Will Of Maruthi

[Guest guest]

The reputation of Goswami Tulasidas was not limited to

Kashi only. It spread all over North India. Many

Muslims also became Tulasidas's followers and

worshipped Rama. There is a story associated with

Emperor Jahangir. The fame of Tulasidas reached the

ears of Jahangir. He wanted to see Tulasidas.

 

When Tulasidas visited Agra, the emperor invited him

and treated him with great respect.

 

The emperor said, "I hear that you perform miracles.

Let me see a miracle."

 

Tulasidas modestly replied, "I don't perform miracles.

All powers belong to Sri Rama."

 

The emperor was stubborn. He said, "I won't let you go

until you show me a miracle." He imprisoned him in the

fort of Salimgad (Gwalior). 'Everything is Anjaneya's

will,' said Tulasidas and sat down with folded hands.

 

All of a sudden a band of monkeys burst into the

palace. They rushed into the queens' apartment and

caused great havoc. They were not afraid of even the

soldiers. It was only after Tulasidas was released

that the emperor was free from their menace.

 

>From that time Tulasidas and his followers were never

troubled by the emperor.

 

So goes a story.

 

Historians say that, during this period, Tulasidas

wrote 'Satsai' - a book of 700 verses.
