Story on Goswami Tulsidas | Animation | Episode 4
This animated version of Stories of Tulsidas has been inspired by the book “Stories of Indian Saints” by Pandit N.R. Godbole and Justin E. Abbot translated from the great works of Mahipati called “Bhaktavijaya”.
This animation is purely created with an objective to educate the little ones and reach the audience in different languages.
As quoted in the book by Dr. G.V. Tagare , Mahipati was a great Maharashtrian poet and devotee of Mahavishnu. Mahipati was born in Ahmednagar district in the year 1715 and died in 1790. Mahipati was not a historian but more motivated by spirituality. He glorified many saints including Tulsidas, Jayadev, Kabir, Namdev and others. He painstakingly studied the works of Indian Saints , visited their places, contacted their descendants, put together the legendary stories and presented them poetically in his work.
In Chapter 1 “Invocation- Obeisance to Shri Ganesh” Mahipati very humbly mentions how he started writing Bhaktavijaya , so that this could be carried to completion with help of all devotees, just as when in a poor man’s house some function is planned, his rich neighbours assist him.
Sources and encouragement to write Bhaktavijaya: Mahipati has mentioned that there is no imagination or written as per his own fancy. He says“a child speaks in broken words, but its mother expresses her delight. So my very uncouth language I think you will accept.”
Evils of the Kali Yuga (Evil Age): As rightly mentioned 300 years ago we can experience the similar situation today , Brahmins neglecting their religious obligations , sons not listening to the commands of their parents, disciples not serving their religious teachers or no one caring to go to the sacred places. People threw away the rosary made of tulasi and rudraksha and wear around their necks garlands made of glass beads.
Vishnu Allots Avatarships:
Uddhava becomes the avatar by name of Namdev in the family line of a tailor.
Shuka becomes an avatar in the family of Muhammadan and becomes his bhakta Kabir.
Valmiki is asked to take avatar of a Brahman Tulsidas and cause men to realize in this Kali Yuga an intense love and worship.
Daruka , He wishes him to become Brahman Ramdas.
The creator of universe said to Shiva , He wishes him to become Narsi Mehta and cause the inhabitants of Junagad to hear the stories connected with path and devotion.
He himself followed in the form of Dnyaneshwar and explain the meaning of Bhagwad Gita.
Brahmadev to become Sopan
Sadashiv to become Nivritti
Adimaya to become Muktabai
