Ram Raksha Stotram Meaning
**************************

OM, Salutations to Lord Ganesh.

The author of this hymn is budhakaushika . The god is sitaaraamachandra . The
metre is
anushTubh. The power is sitaa, central pivot is hanumaan.h and usage is to
recite.

Thus begins the dhyaana of this mantra -
one should meditate raama who has arms reaching his knees, who is holding a
bow and arrow,
who is seated in a lotus position, who is wearing yellow clothes, whose eyes
compete with
petals of a fresh lotus, who looks satisfied, whose eyes are fixed on
lotus-like (pretty)
face of sitaa sitting in his left lap, whose color is like that of rain cloud,
who has
adorned different jewelery, who is wearing hair reaching upto his thighs.

Thus begins the dhyaana of this mantra -
one should meditate raama who has arms reaching his knees, who is holding a
bow and arrow,
who is seated in a lotus position, who is wearing yellow clothes, whose eyes
compete with
petals of a fresh lotus, who looks satisfied, whose eyes are fixed on
lotus-like (pretty)
face of sitaa sitting in his left lap, whose color is like that of rain cloud,
who has
adorned different jewelery, who is wearing hair reaching upto his thighs.

The life story of Shri RAma has a vast expanse and each and every letter of it
is capable of destroying even the greatest sins of mankind .           ;         

Let us meditate on the lotus-eyed, dark-complexioned Rama who is well-
adorned with a crown of hair and has Sita and Lakshmana alongside.

(Let us meditate raama)
who has a sword in a receptacle and bow, and arrows,
who destroyed the demons, who is not born but is incarnated
to protect the world with his actions .

May the learned read the Ramaraksha 'stotram', which destroys all sins and
grants all desires . (Begin listing details of the body to be protected)
May raama who is raghu's descendant protect my head . May raama who is
dasharatha's son protect my forehead .

May the lord raama who is kausalyaa's son, protect my eyes . raama who is
favorite
of vishvaamitra protect my ears . raama who is savior of yaGYa protect my nose.
raama who is affectionate to lakshmaNa protect my mouth .

May the raama who is a sea of knowledge protect my tongue.
May raama who is saluted by bharata protect my neck.
May raama who holds divine weapons protct my two shoulders.
May raama who broke shiva's bow protect my two upper arms.

May the rama who is the husband of sitaa protect my two hands.
May raama who conquered parashuraama protect my heart.
May raama who killed rakshasa named khara protect my abdomen.
May raama who gave refuge to jambavad.h protect my navel .

May raama who is master of sugrIva protect my waist.
May raama who is master of hanumaama protect my two hips.
May raama who is the best of raghus and who destroyed the
lineage of raakshasa protect my two thighs .

May raama who built the bridge protect my two knees.
May raama who killed ten faced ones protect my two shins.
May raama who gave the wealth to bibhIshhaNa protect my two feet.
Thus may he protect my entire body .

May the good man who readeth this 'stotra', which has all the power of
Rama, be blessed with long life, happiness, children, success and humility .

No one, who is wandering below the earth or on the earth
or above the earth or those who wander surreptitiously changing
their forms, will even be able to see the man
protected by raamanaama . (let alone bring any harm to him).

No sin can attach to the man who singeth the praise of the lord and he will
prosper in this world and get salvation .

One who wears this mantra of raama naama that has conquered the world
around his neck will have all the powers at his beck and call .

He who wears this armour called vajrapa.njara will be unscathed and will win
victory everywhere.

Budhakaushika was commanded in his dream by Lord Shiva to compose this hymn
and he did so, as soon as he awoke in the morning .

Rama, who grants all desires, removes all obstacles and is the praise
of all three worlds, is our 'Lord' indeed.

May the two brothers ever protect us, who are young, handsome, lotus-eyed
and bark and deer-skin dressed .

These two sons of Dasharatha, the brothers Rama and Lakshmana,
the ones who are subsisting on roots and fruits and practicing
penance and celibacy, these two scions of Raghu protect us, the foremost among the
archers, the destroyers of the demons and the refuge of all beings,
(may they) protect us

Rama and Lakshmana (both), their bows pulled and ready, their hands on the arrows (packed) in ever full quivers (carried on their backs), may they
always escort me in my path, for my protection

Ever prepared and armed with sword, shield and bows and arrows and
followed by Lakshman , Rama is like our cherished thoughts come to life,
may he (along with Lakshman) protect us .

Rama, the scion of Raghu and the son of Dasaratha and Kausalya, and ever ,
accompanied by Lakshmana, is all powerful and is the perfect man (Lord).

The rama, who is perceived thru vedaanta, who is lord of all yaGYa,
is ancient and the best man who is beloved of jaanakii and whose
bravery is unmeasurable .

My devotee(says Lord Shiva),
who recites these (names of raama) with faith, will attain more religious
merit than one obtainable by horse-sacrifice . There is no
doubt about it .

Those who sing the praise of Raama (who is lotus-eyed, dark-complexioned and
dressed in yellow clothes) thro' this hymn, are (no longer) ordinary men
trapped in the world (they get liberated!)        & nbsp;         & nbsp;        

I salute that Rama who is handsome,
the elder brother of Lakshmana, the
husband of Sita and the best of the scions of the Raghu race, Him who is
the ocean of compassion, the stockpile of virtues, the beloved of the
Brahmans and the protector of Dharma, Him who is the practiser of the
Truth, the lord emperor of kings, the son of Dasaratha, dark-complexioned and
the personification of Peace and tranquillity, Him who is the enemy of
Ravana, the crown jewel of the Raghu dynaty and the
cynosure of all eyes .

I salute that Rama who is benevolent and cool as moon, and who is the lord
of Sita and the master guardian of all.

I surender to that Rama who is the delight of the Raghus, elder brother of
Bharata and the tormentor of his enemies in the war .

The two feet of Rama, I remember them in my mind, I praise them by
my speech, I bow to them by my head I take resort in them!

Rama is (like) my mother, father, master and friend, indeed the kind-hearted
Rama is all I have . I know of no other (like him), (I really) don't!

I salute that Rama who has Lakshmana on his right and Sita on the
left and who has Hanuman in his front.

I take refuge in that Rama who is quite pleasing to the sight, the master of
the stage of war, lotus-eyed, lord of the Raghu race and compassion-
personified.

I take refuge in the lord Hanuman who is as fast as the mind, equals his
father, the wind-God, in speed, is the master of the senses, the foremost
amongst the learned, the leader of the Monkey forces and the great messenger
of Shri Rama.

I salute the great sage Valmiki who sings the glorious name of Rama
resorting to his Ramayana as sweetly as a cuckoo will sing sitting atop a
tree .

I bow again and again to Ram who removes all obstacles and
grants all wealth and pleases all.

The roar of the Ramanama is the destruction of the cause of rebirth (hence
cause of liberation), the earning of all
wealth and a scare to Yama's messengers .

Rama, the jewel among the kings, Him I worship, by Him
the hordes demons have been destroyed, to him is said my prayer,
beyond Him there
is nothing to be worshipped, His servant I am, my mind is totally absorbed
in Him, O Ram, please lift me up.
This verse gives all the seven declensions of the singular
word raama and gives one way of remembering them!

O fair-faced Parvati! I enjoy saying raama raama.
Uttering but once the name 'Rama' is equal to the
uttering of any other 'name' of God, a thousand times .

👏 Thanks u saved my work :-)

I recite Ram raksha stotra daily since long time back. I heard one more thing related to Ramraksha stotra is
To recite it 11 times regularly on NAVRATRA days (9 days fast puja) to make it sidhha or firm for life.
then from normal days can recite as per ur time, once or thrice or whatever.

You all are most Welcome. 😊
