The Essence of Ram (Ram Tatva)

Ram is the Supreme Brahman, beyond all intellect and comprehension

Adhyatma Ramayana
रामं विद्धि परं ब्रह्म सच्चिदानन्दमद्वयम्‌। सर्वोपाधिविनिर्मुक्तं सत्तामात्रमगोचरम्‌॥ ३२॥
Ram is the unique Sachchidanandaghan(“Existence Consciousness Bliss”) Parabrahma(Supreme); He is undoubtedly the God who is devoid of all titles, the only being, no subject of the mind and senses, full of joy, pure, peaceful, disorderless, joyless, omnipresent, self-luminous, and sinless.


Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
रामो विग्रहवान् धर्मस्साधुस्सत्यपराक्रमः।
राजा सर्वस्य लोकस्य देवानां मघवानिव।।3.37.13।।
Rama is dharma incarnate. He is pious. His strength is truth. He is the king of all the worlds, like Indra to the gods


कर्तासर्वस्यलोकस्यश्रेष्ठोज्ञानवतांप्रभुः ।
“You are the creator of the entire world, knowledgeable and the foremost Lord of the host of gods.


Shri Ramcharitmanas
राम सरूप तुम्हार बचन अगोचर बुद्धिपर।
अबिगत अकथ अपार नेति नेति नित निगम कह॥126॥
O’ Ram, Your divine form pervades all of existence, beyond the reach of the senses, beyond expression, and beyond the limits of thought. It is infinite, unfathomable, and eternal, as proclaimed by the Vedas…


जगु पेखन तुम्ह देखनिहारे। बिधि हरि संभु नचावनिहारे॥
तेउ न जानहिं मरमु तुम्हारा। औरु तुम्हहि को जाननिहारा॥1॥
The world presents a vast display, and You stand as its quiet witness. Even Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shambhu respond to Your call, dancing to the tune You compose, yet they still do not recognize Your true self. If they cannot fathom You, who else could ever grasp Your mystery?…


चिदानंदमय देह तुम्हारी। बिगत बिकार जान अधिकारी॥
नर तनु धरेहु संत सुर काजा। कहहु करहु जस प्राकृत राजा॥3॥
O’ Ram, Your divine form is composed of truth, pure consciousness, and boundless bliss. It is free from all imperfections and untouched by material nature, this truth is known only to the fully realised souls. For the sake of Sages and Demigods, You have taken on a human form, and You walk, speak, and act just like a mortal king…


राम अतर्क्य बुद्धि मन बानी। मत हमार अस सुनहि सयानी॥
तदपि संत मुनि बेद पुराना। जस कछु कहहिं स्वमति अनुमाना॥2॥

O’ Wise Parvati, pay attention. In my opinion, Lord Ram cannot be entirely understood through logic, intellect, emotions, or words. However, as the sages, saints, Vedas, and Puranas have explained based on their knowledge…


This profound teaching emphasizes that while God is beyond our intellectual grasp, He is attainable through pure, loving devotion and His infinite grace.
