Kalidasa, the author of such beautiful Sanscrit epics such as Kumaara Sambhavam, Rhithu Samhaaram, Megha Dootham, Raghu Vamsam, Maalavikaagni Mithram, Vikramorvvaseeyam and Abhijnaana Saakunthalam, lived in Ujjaini in North India sometime between the two centuries immediately before or after the birth of Christ. His importance lies in the fact that he is one of the foremost world poets, from the orient. Perhaps he is the foremost world poet. But one thing is true: poetry of none from 2000 years before is held in world esteem today. As his name denotes, he was a Dasa, worshipper of Goddess Kaali who turned this dull-wit who according to a story even cut the tree branch on which he was sitting, into a genius of exquisite poetical conceptions and charm. The story even tells that he, like an obstinate mule, adamantly insisted that he wont' leave the temple unless Kaali blessed him with literacy which the amused Goddess consented to. So, in this meteoric rise from total illiteracy to supreme poetship also, the name of Kaaali Daasa is important.

Why is kalidasa called the Indian Shakespeare?
Kalidasa is called as India's Shakespeare. We hear this statement whenever people speak about Kalidasa. But logically speaking Kalidasa's period is 4-5th Century AD and Shakespeare's period is 1564 - 1616. Though Shakespeare is a great poet, many centuries before Kalidasa has written great plays, poems. If required let Britishers call Shakespeare as "British Kalidasa/England's Kalidasa". But Indian's will not accept this statement as it is wrong. Note: If father and son has resemblence we say "You look like your father", we don't say his father that "you look like your son". Hope this is the proper statement which clears above statements.
