Meaning of name Ram.. Ram story 2
Namaste and welcome to my video today! In my recent videos, I have been exploring various aspects of Lord Ram’s story. Today’s video, the second part of this series, delves into a topic rarely discussed: the meanings behind the names of Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna.
If you haven’t seen my previous videos, I encourage you to watch them. In those videos, I discuss the Ram Kahani and the idea that establishing Ram Rajya is not a simple task.
Today, we will explore how these four brothers were named. While they were all born on the same day, their names do not correspond to the same zodiac sign. This raises the question of whether Sage Vashishtha, their wise family guru, made a mistake.
However, the Ramayana and Ramcharit Manas are written in symbolic language. Ayodhya, for instance, represents a place where war has never occurred, except for one instance. Similarly, the names of the brothers hold deeper meanings.
Ram: The name “Ram” signifies the one in whom the whole world finds joy and resides. Additionally, it is formed by the syllables Ra, Aa, and Ma, which symbolize the sacred sound Om, or the primordial sound of the universe.
Bharat: “Bharat” refers to the one who protected and cared for the entire kingdom of Ayodhya while Ram was in exile.
Lakshman: “Lakshman” means the one who possesses all 32 auspicious characteristics, a rare occurrence in history.
Shatrughna: While the other brothers are known for their warrior skills, Shatrughna is not depicted as killing anyone. His name signifies the destroyer of the inner enemy, as he is the only one who raised his hand against Manthara, the instigator of Ram’s exile.
This short video aims to illustrate that the Ramayana and Ramcharit Manas are filled with symbolism. The names of the characters hold deep significance and reflect their roles in the story.
