Discussion

This article should be merged with Tulasidas. Andries 00:25, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

removed bits

I removed some outdated bits: .....and the materials for a correct text of the Ramayan are thus available. Good editions have been published by the Khaga Buds press at Bnkipur (with a valuable life of the poet by Baijnath Dfls), and by the Nagari Pracharini Sabha at Allahabad (1903). The ordinary bzflr copies of the poem, repeatedly reproduced by lithography, teem with interpolations and variations from the poetic language.

The best account of Tulsidas and his works is contained in the papers contributed by Dr Grierson to vol. xxii. of the Indian Antiquary (1893).

The summary given above is condensed from the translation by Dr Grierson, at pp. 229-236 of the Indian Antiquary, vol. xxii., of the fifth sarga of the Satsal, in which work Tulsi unfolds his system of doctrine.

Good work. utcursch 08:22, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Tulsidas--Incarnation of Valmiki?????? Will someone quote source too.Holy---+----Warrior 07:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Ramcharitmanas is correct, Ramacharitamanasa is not

Sanskrit includes a schwa in every consonant that does not have a halant in it. Hindi does not and follows a strict schwa deletion rule (linguistically: ə -> ø | VC_CV; see article on schwa for details and refs). This is a major point of difference between Hindi and Sanskrit in Devnagri usage. Tulsidas is correct, and Tulasidas is incorrect. रामायण is pronounced Ramayana in Sanskrit, but Ramayan in Hindi. रामचरितमानस is Ramcharitmanas, not Ramacharitamanas, because it is a Hindi/Awadhi work. People (including Scholars) who are Sanskrit-familiar but Hindi-unfamiliar often make these errors of failing to delete schwas when transliterating Hindi terms into Roman letters. Happy to discuss this more here. --Hunnjazal (talk) 15:56, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Birth date

I linked the Bikram Samwat date system to its article, but find that the latter system and the Gregorian calendar differ by 56.7 years. That seems to contradict this article, which shows a difference of 22 years. What is the solution? JMK (talk) 09:12, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

References

I have removed the upper tag regarding references because the importance and notability of Tulsidas is beyond any doubt but since he wrote in Awadhi (a dialect of Hindi), hence we may not have many references to him in English. amitabhthakurlkoAmitabhthakurlko (talk) 12:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Undid the Editing by some Mishra Ji

My dear Mishra Ji! You have undid my edits, no problems. I have written a lot till date and still writting in this age of 63 years. I am not going to die now. So the pramotion and demotion does not matter for me. If you get some time and visit Rajapur, the native place of Goswamiji; you can see these poems are preserved there alongwith the original handwritten manusript of Goswami Tulsidasji. Moreover these verses have been published in Indraprasth Bharati an official magazine of Hindi Acedemy Delhi in my handwritting. Sahitya Parikrama Jaipur and Vishva Vivek America have also published these poems. I am a reciepient of Senior Fellowship from Govt of India. in the field of Literature in 2002. More than a dozen books till date have been published. I am the least bothered by these pretty things but you have deprived off so many wikipedians from a nice hallmark. Be pleased.Krantmlverma (talk) 07:38, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Verma Ji, As it happens, I have been to Rajapur last year and seen the copy which is said to have been written by Tulsidas. In fact I purchased the work by Ram Ganesh Pandey on Tulsi Janma Bhumi there only. I do not remember seeing your poems there, maybe I might have missed out. However, it would still be better if I or somebody else put in your critique of Tulsi than you yourself. I am nobody to comment on your poetic skills (you are much more learned than me), but your views on Tulsidas might better be put in a sentence rather than original poem - as you see we have views from many authors including the likes of Ramchandra Shukla, Mahadevi Verma, Nirala and some original verses are quoted which include those of Madhusudan Saraswati, Abdurrahim Khan-i-khana and Hariaudh. As far as I know your works are not quite as notable as these authors, so putting them in the same league as above would be a bit odd. I am not opposed to your views on Tulsidas being in the article, and Misplaced Pages does allow self-citation also, but neutral third-party sources are preferred (e.g. if your poetry on Tulsidas is cited by other published works).

Also, I undid your year of birth edits as there are clearly two points of view, which have been elaborated in detail in a subsection. Nmisra (talk) 12:14, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
