Bapu Morari (born Muraridas
Prabhudas in 1946) is a modern Ramcharitmanas commentator and expositor (kathava
cak).
The Ramcharitmanas is a vernacular rendition of the
Ramayana, the older of the two major Sanskrit epics, written by the poet-saint
Tulsidas.
Tulsidas did not just translate Valmiki's Sanskrit epic, but
altered it to meet his own religious concerns, particularly the significance of
devotion (bhakti) to God, one of the text's fundamental themes, as with all
vernac ular versions of the Ramayana.
Morari Bapu claims no supernatural abilities or
capabilities; his religious popularity is completely based on his devotion to
the scripture and his ability to expound it.
He has given katha (discourse) to Hindu diaspora populations
in Europe and North America, as well as in India, at times to audiences of over
100,000 people.
