Tulsidas was a Vaishnava Hindu saint and poet, renowned for his devotion to the deity Rama. He is best known as the author of the Hanuman Chalisa and of the epic Ramcharitmanas, a retelling of the Sanskrit Ramayana, based on Rama's life, in the vernacular Awadhi language. [...] He is believed by many to be a reincarnation of Valmiki. In the Hindu scripture Bhavishyottar Purana, the god Shiva tells his wife Parvati how Valmiki, who received a boon from Hanuman to sing the glory of Rama in vernacular language, will incarnate in future in the Kali Yuga (the present and last yuga or epoch within a cycle of four yugas). Nabhadas (a contemporary of Tulsidas) writes in his Bhaktamal (literally, the Garland of Bhakta or devotee) that Tulsidas was the re-incarnation of Valmiki in the Kali Yuga.
