Ramcharitmanas Katha
Devotional discourse based on Tulsidas's beloved retelling of Lord Rama's story in Awadhi verse
Significance & Origin
Ramcharitmanas Katha is a devotional discourse based on Goswami Tulsidas's Awadhi retelling of Rama's story, cherished for its poetic verses and deep devotional flavor, narrated across sessions with explanation of its chaupais and dohas.
Origin Story
Goswami Tulsidas composed the Ramcharitmanas in the 16th century after receiving a vision of Lord Shiva and Parvati at the Ganges, choosing to write in Awadhi rather than Sanskrit specifically so that common people, not just scholars, could access Rama's story in their own tongue. This intention — to make the katha reachable by ordinary listeners through spoken and sung verse — is precisely why Ramcharitmanas remains the most widely narrated Pravachan text across North India even today.
