Akbar


In Bhaktamaal granth written by Sri Nabhaswamiji maharaj there is a beautiful prasang of Sri Surdas ji.It is said that once King Akbar summoned Tulsidas ji to show him a miracle. Tulsidas ji refused saying

“ Ek Bharoso Ek Niyam Ek Aas Vishwas,
Ek Ram Ragunath hith Chatak Tulsidas.”

one (object of) faith, one (source of) strength, one (object of) belief and refuge...
there is only the one Rām for Tulsidās, just as there is only the raincloud for the chātak bird.

Note
chātak bird, a particular species of bird, refuses to drink any water 'from the earth', and waits for the monsoon clouds to slake his thirst.

Akbar got angry and imprisoned Tulsidasji.

It was during this time in prison Tulsi Das started writing Hanuman Chalisa.

Tulsidasji prayed to Sri Hanumat lal Ji and there was a monkey menace in Delhi and as a result Akbar seek forgiveness from tulsidasji . Tulsidas ji warned Akbar not to test any saint again and to leave delhi as his palace is now a residence of Hanuman ji.
