The early years of Tulsidas' life are filled with sorrow and hardship. He becomes an orphan at a very young age and is forced to beg each day for his food. People are very cruel to him, and it is almost impossible for him to find food to eat and a place to sleep at night.

One day, a wandering holy man feels pity for the young boy. He gives Tulsidas a statue of Lord Ram and advises the young boy to make his home in the holy name of Ram.
