Gosvámí Tulsídás citáty

Gosvámí Tulsídás, hindsky गोस्वामी तुलसीदास byl indický básník a hinduistický duchovní. Jeho hlavním tématem byl bůh Ráma, k jehož uctívání vyzýval a nabádal. Tradice mu připisuje 37 děl, odborníci mají za prokázané autorství dvanácti textů. K nejslavnějším z nich patří Rámčaritmánas , básnická sbírka o sedmi zpěvech inspirovaná eposem Rámájana. Rámovy věnoval i sbírku Kavitavali. Svá díla psal v sanskrtu a v jazyce awadhí. Ve své době byl považován za vtělení Válmíkiho, autora Rámájany. Většinu života prožil ve Váránasí. Založil tradici takzvaných ramlila, tedy divadelních ztvárnění příběhů z Rámájany. Přestože jeho kampaň za uctívání Rámy bývá považována za pokus o vytlačení kultu Krišny ze severní Indie, Tulsídas napsal i sbírku 61 chvalozpěvů na Krišnu pod názvem Krišna gitavali. Wikipedia

“Tuslidas’s attitude toward life and literature was distinctly more objective. Quite naturally, therefore, he has used the objective forms–the epic and the narrative- besides of course, the lyric as vehicles of his devotional poetry.”
