Just before going to “What does Rama name (correct) mean (Sanskrit) (Ramayana)“, let us know a brief, basic and very important information.

The word or name Rama has unlimited number of meanings. In that, let us know few of them as per my (This post’s author) small knowledge with the ashirvadam / blessings of my Guru and Lord Sri Rama Chandra Prabhu.

All Yogis are born from Rama : “The only entity from which all yogis attain bliss” is by the name Rama. All yogis, sadhus, sanyasis, Dharmic people love to chant this name ‘Rama’ or ‘Sri Rama’.

Rama most glowing entity : Lord Sri Rama is the most glowing entity of the unlimited universes. He is present since the unknown time and not just since ‘Treta Yuga’ or ‘Ramayana’ period.

Rama is Ravanasya Maranam : Rama is ‘रावणस्य मरणं’ / ‘Ravanasya maranam’.

Rama and Narayana are same : Rama and Narayana meaning is the same.

Now, let us take each of the above and let’s know the meaning with explanation:

What does Rama name (correct) mean (Sanskrit) (Ramayana) is as given below:

1. “The only entity from which all yogis attain bliss” : The adhyatmika / spiritual people do not find real bliss / happiness from the finite and laukika / worldly objects.

These adhyatmika / spiritual people want something more, something which can’t be measured by any instrument, and something which is ‘ananta’ / infinite. We should always note that real ‘ananda’ / bliss can’t be obtained from merely laukika / worldly / finite objects.

The adhyatmika / spiritual and real infinite bliss can only be supplied by our great and Supreme Lord Sri Rama Chandra Prabhu, in short Lord Sri Rama.

We should keep in mind that ‘anandam’ (real bliss) is different and ‘sukham’ (pleasantness) is different. ‘Ananda sutram’ says that “Ananta / infinite bliss” is called ‘anandam’ and not ‘sukham’.

If we need real ‘ananta’ / infinite real blissfulness means, we need to keep on chanting the great name of Lord Sri Rama Chandra Prabhu, that is, ‘Sri Rama’…

2. Lord Sri Rama is the most glowing entity of the unlimited universes.

In the word ‘रति’ / ‘rati’, that is, ‘र’ / ‘ra’ means which is always divinely glowing or something which is always divinely glittering. Also the first letter of the word ‘महीधर’ / ‘mahidhara’ is ‘म’ / ‘ma’, meaning, the world. Thus totally, it becomes ‘राम’ / ‘rama’.

All divinely glittering and divinly glowing entities get their glowiness and glittering ability from our Lord Sri Rama (Rama Chandra Prabhu).

All entities are completely dependent on our Lord Sri Rama and no entity possesses glowness or glittering ability on his / her / its own.

Lord Sri Chandra Deva (Demigod Moon) gets his glowness and glittering ability from the Goddess Sri Bhudevi / mother earth.

Goddess Sri Bhudevi / mother earth in turn gets her glowness / glittering ability from Lord Sri Surya Deva (Demigod Sun). Lord Sri Surya Deva / Demigod Sun gets his energy from the cosmological nucleus.

There are ‘ananta’ / infinite solar systems and ‘ananta’ / infinite universes that exists in the outer atmosphere in the huge cosmos and all these are the hubs of ‘parama purusha’ Lord Sri Rama.

Here, Lord Sri Rama is the nucleus / center of all energies, without nothing can exists in these unlimited multiverses.

Our ‘shastras’ / Hindu scriptures says “Before the effulgent of Supreme Entity (that is Lord Sri Rama), neither the sun shines, not even the moon shines nor does the stars shines and also nor the lightning flash, then what to speak of fire.

In ‘parama purusha’s prakasha / glowness’ all other entities shine. Lord Sri Rama’s effulgence illuminates all entities of the multiverses.

(This is happening since unknown time. Only Lord Sri Rama / Sri Vishnu / Sri Krishna knows about this and no one else.)

3. Rama is ‘रावणस्य मरणं’ / ‘Ravanasya maranam’ : The first syllable of ‘रावणस्य’ / Ravanasya and the first syllable of ‘मरणं’ / maranam make up “Rama”.

‘रावण’ / Ravana means a mind that moves away from the central nucleus drifting away by the centrifugal force, dissipating mental energies in all ‘dasha dishas’ / 10 directions.

Ravana is depicted as having 10 faced rakshasa / demon. Since Ravana had 10 faces or heads, his birth name is called as ‘Dashagriva’, that is, someone with 10 throats. In Sanskrit Dasha means 10 and Griva means throat.

Ravana can only be defeated or destroyed, only when someone takes refuge and shelter under Lord Sri Rama. Thus, within someone under whom Ravana automatically dies, is Lord Sri “Rama”.

4. Rama and Narayana meaning is the same : Once Hanuman was asked why he always takes the name of ‘Rama’ only and not of Narayana?

Hanuman replied: “I know according to darshanika / philosophically, there is no difference between the names Narayana and Rama.”

“But still, I will channelize my mind towards ‘One Entity’ ‘Rama’ with all my sincerity and devotion and not many. For me there is no Narayana, there is only Rama”.

(We should always remember that Lord Sri Vayu Deva took birth as Sri Hanuman and was the greatest bhakta / devotee of Sri Rama Chandra Prabhu.)

(But it doesn’t mean that Lord Sri Rama is different, Lord Sri Narayana is different, Lord Sri Krishna is different. No. All are same.)

(But in ‘Treya Yuga’, Lord Sri Vayu Deva took birth as Sri Hanuman was a bhakta / devotee of Lord Sri Rama Chandra Prabhu. In ‘Dvapara Yuga’, Lord Sri Vayu Deva takes avatar as Bhima (Bhimasena), who was a great bhakta / devotee of Lord Sri Krishna Paramatma.)

(Also in his moola / original roopa or form, Lord Sri Vayu Deva is the bhakta / devotee of Lord Sri Narayana / Vishnu).

(In different avatars, Lord Sri Vayu Deva will be a bhakta / devotee of Lord Sri Narayana / Vishnu himself, but with different names. But still all the names of Lord Sri Vishnu is one and the same.)

(This is not easy to understand immediately. This requires lots and lots of knowledge and mainly a real bhakta / devotee can understand this very easily).

In adhyatmika / spiritual parlance such a word is called ‘ishta mantra’ (here ‘ishta’ means someone’s liking) 

and the adhyatmika / spiritual aspirants treasure their ‘ishta mantra’ forever as a bhakta / devotee of Lord Sri Vishnu in his different avatars and names.

Again please note that, Lord Sri Narayana and Lord Sri Rama are one and the same. Only their names’ pronunciations are different and not the meaning.

The word Narayana comes from ‘nara’, that has three meanings: Parama, Prakriti and devotion / bhakti.

Kindly remember that Narada = Nara + da, the distributor of bhakti / devotion. In Narayana, here Nara means bhakti / devotion. And ‘ayana’ means ashraya / refuge.

Narayana means ‘Parama Purusha’, that is, the Cosmic Consciousness and refuge of Parama Prakriti (ultimate nature).

Who is most powerful ‘naama / name’ or the ‘naami / named one’ : Who is most powerful, ‘parama purusha or his naama / name?

The ‘भाव’ / bhava or feeling for an object goes hand in hand with each other and with its name. One cannot name oneself (means I can’t name myself. There should be someone who needs to give me a name).

Before jumping across the sagara / ocean, Hanuman consulted Lord Sri Rama.

Lord Sri Rama replied, “Go ahead, Hanuman. You can jump across the ocean”. Whereas Hanuman said “But I cannot”. (Here ‘I’ means ‘aham’ / ego / pride).

And Lord Sri Rama asked Hanuman, “How will you cross it?. Hanuman replied, “With the power of the ‘Rama naama smaranam’ (chanting Lord Sri Rama’s name)”.

Lord Sri Rama asked, “How will you get my power?”. Hanuman replied, “I will make the ‘smaranam’ (chanting) of your naama / name and jump”.

Thus, it should be noted that the naama / name and Lord Sri Rama both are same and are equally powerful.

Rama = Rama name – There is no difference between Lord Sri Rama and his name ‘Rama’.
