KAVITAWALI of Goswami Tulsidas

Description

‘Kavitawali’ is the legendary story of Lord Ram that was written by saint-poet Goswami Tulsidas as part of his Trilogy on Lord Ram’s life and time—popularly known as ‘Ramayan’. The other two books in this Trilogy are Geetawali and the epic Ram Charit Manas. Each of the three books of the Trilogy is a masterpiece in itself. The other two books would also be made available by this author as soon as they are ready for publication.
‘Kavitawali’ narrates the story of Lord Ram in a poetic style that is called ‘Kavitta’ in Hindi. It is basically fine and excellent poetry in one of its best forms, being written as it is in Tulsidas’ unique style of narration that is at once lucid, enchanting and captivating for the mind. He has employed all the skills and mastery of words that he is so famous for.
The probable reason of his writing Kavitawali (and for that matter Geetawali as well, besides, of course, the epic Ram Charit Manas) is perhaps he wished to narrate the excellent story of Lord Ram in from different angles and employing different styles of poetic composition so that the story as a whole becomes exceedingly enchanting, fascinating and beautiful as it could now be read and recited in various styles and tones to suit every mood and liking of the reader.
Further, it helped Tulsidas to describe many aspects of the story which could not be possibly highlighted sufficiently in one book alone due to various restrictions—such as for instance the restrictions imposed by the style selected for the composition, or the flow of the narration, or the limitations of pages—could be overcome in the next book.
So, Kavitawali helped Tulsidas to express himself better and more articulately because now he could focus his attention more to highlight in very expressive terms certain parts or aspects of the epic story as well as to fill in certain gaps that he couldn’t probably do in the other two books of the Trilogy.
