Story of Tulsidas and the Mughal Emperor Akbar
Rambola Dubey, known as Tulsidas (11 August 1511 - 30 July 1623) was a Hindu saint and poet who is known for his devotion to Shri Rama. One day the Mughal Emporer Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar (1556 - 1605) heard of Tulsidas's miracles and summoned him to demonstrate a miracle. Tulsidas did not want to come because he was consumed in writing his devoting poetry.
When forcibly summoned by the Mughal Emporer Akbar to his court Tulsidas declined to perform a miracle and stated it is a lie, and he is just a devotee of Shri Rama. Tulsidas further refused to bow down to Akbar, on which Akbar imprisoned Tulsidas for at Fatehpur Sikri, saying we will see this Rama.
While in prison Tulsidas created a hymn with 40 verses in praise of Hanuman, The Hanuman Chalisa, and chanted it for forty days. Suddenly a pack of monkey's entered Fatehpur causing trouble in the village. These pack of monkeys even entered the Mughal's court scratching people and throwing bricks on the people in the Mughal harem. There was an old Hafiz (a muslim man who knows the Quran by heart) present, who told Akbar that this must be the miracle of the imprisoned Tulsidas.
The Emperor released Tulsidas and apologised for his behaviour. Tulsidas stopped the monkeys that where attacking the village. Akbar and Tulsidas were known to be friends after this incident which led for the Emperor to move back to Delhi and ordering a law (Firman) that stated followers of Rama, Hanuman and other Hindus, were not to be harassed in his kingdom.
