Shri Ramcharitmanas (Teekakar: Hanuman Prasad Poddar | Krit: Goswami Tulsidas Ji) | Gita Press Gorakhpur is one of the most revered and authentic editions of the immortal epic Shri Ramcharitmanas, originally composed by the great saint-poet Goswami Tulsidas Ji and accompanied by an insightful and devotional commentary (Teeka) by the revered Shri Hanuman Prasad Poddar Ji, one of the principal architects of Gita Press, Gorakhpur. This sacred publication beautifully combines the original verses of the Ramcharitmanas with clear, spiritually enriching explanations that help readers understand the deeper meaning of Lord Shri Rama's divine life and teachings.
Published by the world-renowned Gita Press, Gorakhpur, this edition reflects more than a century of dedication to preserving the authentic scriptures of Sanatan Dharma. Gita Press has earned the trust of millions of devotees by publishing reliable editions of Hindu religious texts with traditional accuracy, devotional purity, and affordable accessibility. This edition of the Shri Ramcharitmanas continues that legacy, making one of Hinduism's greatest scriptures available in a format suitable for daily study, worship, and lifelong spiritual reflection.
The Shri Ramcharitmanas, composed by Goswami Tulsidas Ji in the Awadhi language, is regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of Indian devotional literature. Based on the divine life of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Rama, the scripture beautifully narrates His birth, childhood, marriage with Mata Sita, exile, the devotion of Shri Hanuman Ji, the victory over Ravana, and the establishment of ideal Dharma through righteous conduct. Beyond being a historical and devotional epic, the Ramcharitmanas serves as a practical guide for righteous living, devotion, family values, leadership, humility, compassion, and complete surrender to God.
The commentary prepared by Shri Hanuman Prasad Poddar Ji makes this sacred scripture even more valuable. His explanations are simple, devotional, and rooted in the traditional understanding of Sanatan Dharma. Rather than offering merely academic interpretations, the commentary emphasizes practical spiritual application, enabling readers to understand how Lord Rama's ideals can be followed in modern daily life. Difficult passages become easier to comprehend, while the devotional spirit of the original composition remains fully preserved.
The Ramcharitmanas is traditionally divided into seven Kandas:
- Bal Kand
- Ayodhya Kand
- Aranya Kand
- Kishkindha Kand
- Sundar Kand
- Lanka Kand
- Uttar Kand
Each Kanda teaches unique spiritual lessons concerning devotion, duty, sacrifice, truthfulness, compassion, humility, courage, self-control, and unwavering faith in God. The life of Lord Rama demonstrates the highest ideals of righteousness, while the devotion of Hanuman Ji remains an eternal example of selfless service and complete surrender to the Supreme Lord.
