About Tulsi Sahib
Tulsi Sahib (1763–1843), also known as Param Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, was a Sant Mat spiritual leader. He was also known by the moniker Dakhani Baba (meaning "sage from the south"). Many Radha Soamis regard him as being the teacher of Shiv Dayal, yet there is no record of him initiating Shiv Dayal and his prime student was rather Girdhari Das instead. The teachings of Tulsi Sahib were mostly in-agreement with the doctrines that had been espoused by Kabir, Guru Nanak, Paltu Sahib, and Dariya Sahib. According to popular tradition, his birth name was Shyam Rao and he was born into a Brahmin family of royal Maharashtrian-origin, who originated during the reign of Akbar. The claim postulates that Guru Gobind Singh visited a ruling family of Peshwas whilst he was in the Deccan, which is how Tulsi Sahib became acquainted with the Sikh guru after he stayed with the family.
