Ram Bhagwan, ya Ram, Hindu dharm mein ek pramukh devta hain. Ramayan, ek prachin Hindu epic, Ram ka jivan aur katha ko vyakti ko dharmik tatha sanskritic drishti se sikhata hai. Ram ka poora naam ‘Maryada Purushottam Sri Ram’ hai, jiska arth hai “maryada mein uttam purush” ya “param maryada ke shresht purush”.
Ramayan ke anusar, Ram Ayodhya ke raja Dasharath ke putra the aur unka janm Ayodhya mein hua tha. Unki patni ka naam Sita tha. Ram ko ek maryada purushottam (adarsh purush) ke roop mein dikhaya gaya hai, jo dharm aur kartavya ki bhavana se bhara hua tha.
Ram ka pravachan aur unki katha Bharatiya sanskriti mein mahatvapurna hai aur unhe bhakti ka prateek mana jata hai. Bhagwan Ram ka janm Hindu calendar ke Chaitra masa ke Shukla Paksha Navami tithi ko manaya jata hai, jo Ram Navami ke roop mein vishesh roop se dhoom dhaam se manaya jata hai.
Bhagwan Ram ka janm Ayodhya nagari mein hua tha. Unka janm sthal “Ram Janmabhoomi” ke roop mein prasiddh hai. Ayodhya Uttar Pradesh, Bharat mein sthit hai. Ram Janmabhoomi, jo ki ek tirthasthan hai, Bhagwan Ram ke janm sthal ko signify karta hai.
Bhagwan Ram ka janm Hindu calendar ke Chaitra masa ke Shukla Paksha Navami tithi ko mana jata hai. Is din Ram Navami ke roop mein Bharat bhar mein dhoom dhaam se manaya jata hai. Yeh tyohar chaitra masa ke Navami tithi ko aata hai, jo March-April ke madhya hota hai, according to the Gregorian calendar.
Bharat mein Ayodhya ki Ram Janmabhoomi ka sthal mahatvapurna hai aur is sthal par bhavya Ram Mandir ka nirmaan kiya gaya hai, jo Bhagwan Ram ke samarpan aur bhakti ka ek mahatvapurna kendr hai.
Bhagwan Ram ke kul milake, unke tere bhai the. Unke bhaiyon ke naam hain:
- Bharat: Bharat, Bhagwan Ram ke ek bade bhai the. Unka naam Bharat isliye pada kyunki unka janm Bharat (India) desh mein hua tha. Bhagwan Ram chale gaye the vanvaas mein, aur Bharat ne unke padukas ko Ayodhya mein rakh kar unki vyapak kshama prapt ki.
- Lakshman: Lakshman, Bhagwan Ram ke ek aur bade bhai the. Lakshman ne Ram ke saath vanvaas ka anuyayi banne ka sankalp kiya aur unke saath rehkar unki sewa ki.
- Shatrughna: Shatrughna, Bhagwan Ram ke chhote bhai the. Unka naam Shatrughna isliye pada kyunki unka janm Shatrughan ke roop mein hua tha. Unhone bhi Bharat ki tarah Ram ke padukas ki sewa ki aur unke adeshon ka palan kiya.
In teenon bhaiyon ne apne-apne tareekon mein Bhagwan Ram ke saath unki dharmik aur maryada-purushottam jeevan mein yogdan diya. Ramayan, in bhaiyon ke vishesh sambandhon aur unke dharmik charitron ko vyaktitva mein utarne wala mahakavya hai.
