Course Description

TAT1201 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) This course explores the Ramcharitmanas, an epic poem composed in the sixteenth century in Ayodhya, North India, some 50 years after the Ram Temple in Ayodhya was destroyed by the Islamic emperor Babur. It is an exemplary text of the Bhakti movement in India, written in the Awadhi language, which has variously been heralded as “the living sum of Indian culture”, and the greatest book of all devotional literature.”

Sri Ramcharitmanas: Continuity in Change

Course Content

The Ramcharitmanas also called as Tulsi Krit Ramayana of Goswami Tulsidas (c. 1532-1623) is a sixteenth century retelling of the Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana of Valmiki. The Ramcharitmanas inspired and shaped the spiritual, ethical, and moral worldview of the people of India and its diaspora through its textual, oral, performative, and folk traditions. The Ramcharitmanas is the sole guide for living for millions around the world who receive it as a Shastra. It has served as a survival text for the poor and oppressed during invasions and colonization and continues to inspire Hindu cultural and civilizational sustenance today.
