The first volume of this book presents an in-depth and research-oriented study of the psychological and philosophical elements embedded in the Ramcharitmanas. Goswami Tulsidas has expressed, through his remarkable and engaging poetic verses, the interrelationships among the human mind, perception, thought, emotion, affect, and behaviour, along with their psychological effects and possible solutions to mental problems.
Similarly, complex, profound, and often abstract philosophical concepts such as metaphysics, epistemology, and the concept of time have been presented by him through poetry in an exceptionally simple, engaging, and practical manner, making them accessible to the common reader.
His syncretic philosophy serves as a foundational pillar of the journey towards mental and spiritual development. From the perspective of the Ramcharitmanas, an exploration of the dimensions of spirituality and human values constitutes an essential component of human development.
