Lord Rama was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is also referred to as Maryada Purshottam, meaning the ideal human being. People worship him because of his qualities and also as an incarnation of the avatar. Also, the video you watched is from a programme called "youth and truth" where Sadhguru visits universities in India and encourages them to ask ANYTHING. There have been questions about masturbation, sex, drugs, extramarital affairs, politics, spirituality, occult, astrology, career and just about anything. No restrictions on the type of questions. He is planning to do the same in US universities too. Eagerly waiting to see the kind of questions he would be faced with over there.
@truthseeker Ram is always refereed to as "Raja Ram" and the "Ram Rajya" is associated good administration, because he was the ideal ruler.The entire Ramayan is the story of an Ideal King following DHarma and how a ideal King should sacrifice his own personal life for the sake of his People. Adiyogi on the other hand represents the epitome of Human Potential (which can be reached once you Tyaag the Moh-Maya of the Sansaar), hence he is called Ideal Man. You shouldn't misconstrue it from the Western meaning of the word....
@Rahul Ray Acceptance of one's thoughts as a possibility and testing and proving the same is the basic thing a Hindu is supposed to do. You find an ideal man in Adi Yogi, but, please enquire where this was said and why! Same applies to Rama. We should be aware of many things before coming to a conclusion. And that's how it works, isn't it?
When Rama quit the body in Sarayu river, his last words were, 'SITA'. In 300 movie, the hero enchanted the same word, 'for my wife'. People must understand the basic things before arguing. Ramayana is all about SITA. It doesn't revolve around Rama. Being alive to see your wife quitting her soul after you not only spend 14 years in forest but fought a war, must have been so so painful. I can feel it & I have tears. So when Rama, quit his Soul, his last words were 'SITA'. Today's youth have more or less have no idea about great Sanatan culture, which is more diverse & rich in all its form. Only a wise culture can be so so diverse. Its 85% Hindus alnoe in Bhaarat aka India which provides diversity. Rest have this sick mindset like 'my way or highway'.

Some facts here professor: 1. The students questioning here are leftists, who often attack Hindu culture and ideology. 2. Rama holds the title of 'Mayada Purusthottam' which roughly translates to an ideal human. 3. Out of many avatars of Vishnu, you would find that Lord Rama and Krishna are held in highest regards, for the reasons that Rama showed the word what are duties of a rightful man and King, and Krishna came to turn the age and destroy evil and preach people of the 'BhagvadaGeeta'. In India there are millions of God, out of who a few walked the earth. So in the hierarchy of the Gods, Ram and Krishna are held among highest Gods because we also have a lot to learn from them. 4. Krishna said that I am God, but even then I am not inactive and doing stuffs, so that other beings follow the same. 5. Another thing is that Sadguru is a yogic saint(There are 6 schools of Hindusim: Nyaya, Vaisheshik, Shankhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, and Vedanta); Yoga holds Shiva as supreme God. Similarly other schools and sects have other preference of worship and interpretations. Also, why worship Rama when he is Vishnu himself??? Because Rama apart from being vishnu, as the character also earned its place as a God. There are avatars of Lord Shiva which are not worshiped, eg Sage Durvasa. Some incarnation of Shiva are even hated eg: Ashavatthama from Mahabharata. So in the land of Bharat even incarnations of Gods have to earn their place. Hinduism is open to interpretations and questionings, and the core philosophy of Hinduism lies in the fact that choose the path which suits you best. You can achieve God as a friend, as a devotee, by the means of knowledge, as your father/mother, by the means of good deeds(Karma) among many other ways. So the idea here is that Vishnu, Shiva, etc incarnated in various forms for various purposes, But we put those at the top who gave us a new whole dimension of learning.
You're forgetting that he isn't just "Maryada PurshottaM", he is "Maryada Purshottam Raja Ram" doesn't mean ideal Man, It means ideal King Ideal Man is Adi Yogi
Rahul Ray Read full comment bro. Addressed the king aspect. And I won’t comment on Adi Yogi. Sadguru is a great man, but not ideal as he has not been tested enough. His version of Shiva is a subset of mine.
I think professor, you are missing the point, if a person who is not religious doesn't believe that Rama was an Avatar of Vishnu or say Jesus as the Son of God. But still they can admire them for the majesty of their life's work.
As a Hindu, I also worship Sri Rama. He is an Icon for us so much that in the last moment of our life, his Name Rama comes to our mind. India is incomplete without Him.
The problem is there is a western mindset in people of reading a story and immediately identifying a good guy and a bad guy. Truth is all characters in mahabharat and ramayan have good and bad in them. It's a more apt portrayal of human nature than anything else.
Ram didn't throw sita in jungle he sent her to rishi valmiki's ashram on his request bcz he told ram that in future you have to do this so I ask sita from you as my daughter
Yes professor you are missing a lot of things about Indian Gods. 1st Rama is not worshiped because he is avatar of Vishnu, there were many avatars of Vishnu but only 4 are popular and have temples and devotes among Hindus. And two are most popular Rama and Krishna. Rama is worshiped because of his personality, his selflessness and all other tons of quality he had. Just like Jesus, people worshiped him because of his qualities and values, even though Jesus too was son of God but he is worshiped because of the values and philosophy he represents. Just like Sai baba is worshiped because of his work and contributions to society or like Sikh Gurus for their teachings and bravery. Even though Khwaza Gareeb Nawaz might not be considered as God due to Islamic rules but his status in India is no less than a God. Even Jesus is respected here, my mother always referred to Jesus as Jesus Bhagwan (God) when i was a kid and was curious about the statue of a guy hanging on cross at my Catholic School's hall.
Every one student in the world but good students never asked idiots question, they don't ask Islamic or Christian mythology in way of criticism, bcz that was weakness for leftist.
I still visit churches and pray to Jesus and Saints. Hinduism does not keep any god away. "Vasudhaiva kudumbakam" means whole world is family. If whole world is family, every human, every creature, every insect is family. And all of these worship different gods. And we consider everyone who has done admirably well in their life, a God. In short, a Hindu considers everyone no different from a Hindu.
What you need to understand about indian mythology is that each story has a core lesson. Because Ram was such a great and rightful king, he is considered to be an Avatar of Vishnu and worshipped. Hinduism celebrates and worships extra-ordinary MORTAL men who once walked this Earth and did exemplary things. All the magical parts are add -ons, but are not that relevant. The core lesson is all that matters.
Every one student in the world but good students never asked idiots question, they don't ask Islamic or Christian mythology in way of criticism, bcz that was weakness for leftist.
I'm from Tamil Nadu.... Pandavas lived here in disguise during angyatha Vasa which was called as virada desa in mahabarath.... I live in Palani town 70 km from the place called kundadam. It is the place where Bheem killed keechagan the brother of the queen of virada desa, there is a small temple built on the ruins of the fort of virada king.... The temple is thousands of years old and is a living example of the mahabarath tale..... Incredible India incredible history incredible knowledge everything incredible 🙏
He was an incarnation of Vishnu but ordinary people at that time didn't know that, they worshiped him for his incredible qualities....when people learned ramayan then they knew he was God. Jay Shree Ram🙏
Correct he is reincarnation of Vishnu. But he took human avatar so he set examples on human level not God ( Visnhn ) level and for this reason also we worship Him. 🙏 You are doing a great job Sir. All best wishes keep it up. Jai Hind Jai Sree Ram
He is encarnation of Lord Vishnu, yes... That is what history and scriptures say.. He was a man with good qualities, that is what Sadhguru says... So let's trust many thousands old scriptures...
Must remember also that there was a purpose and leela for each episode of Ramayana. Sita was only apparently sent to the forest to satisfy the citizens, but as wife of Lord Rama, she also knew the hidden reason - so that she could tell the whole story of Ramayana to Valmiki, who wrote it all down! This great sage in the forest took care of her and also aided in bringing up her sons, Lav and Kush. This was also for her own and Rama's son's protection. The beauty is in the details!
He was also self realisation man those days everybody use to practice this..this made him suttle and carry on his life with love in heart and many other things....thats why he was worshiped
Professor, you are looking at Bharat by the goggles of Abrahamic religions. And Bharatiya has no religion (Hinduism is no religion in a true sense. It is just people outside Bharat had made our geographical identity a religion in our texts there nowhere written that it is our religion ). So, just being a mere incarnation of God doesn't make him great. Even in some part of India Ravana is worshipped. So, it is not that a person is worshipped but his or her karma and dharma (how he convey his duties and obligation) made him a great. So, when Ravana was dying Ram sent Laxman to take final lessons from Ravana as Ravana was the greatest devotee of Shiva and bhraman of his time. Even Ravana was an incarnation of devas (for foreigners we say God but somewhat a diety). In Bharat, we worship the spirit or soul rather than the mere physical body so idols are just mere representations which have no value. When you go to very old temples (mandirs) you'll find that there the idols are just pieces of stones and nothing more but the faiths of people made them special. It is difficult to understand our way of life which has no name or specific identity but it is the only thing which binds our nationhood. Even we modern-day Bharatiya are not able to understand it clearly consciously but unconsciously we do. So, I hope that you may have got some insights into our way of life.
He was called the avatar of vishnu because he displayed such wonderful qualities. Apart from that, whether he was avatar or not, he is adored because he was a model human being in face of hardship.
Lord ram was the 7th avatar of Lord vishnu in INDIA we worship him because inspite of being an avatar he lives his life like an ordinary human and accepts all the pain and suffering life through at him and performs his every duty with out any complains. He does not have to face those kind of pain because he was an avatar but still he did.... That's why we worship him
When examples from Shree Ram are given in everyday life are about how he conducted himself as a human being . Even Bhagwan ParshuRam was also an avatar of Vishu bhagwan but he is not worshipped.
Why these three young people don't understand that Ram did not not leave his wife happily.He left her with much sorrow in his heart only for his subjects.He mentally suffered much through out his life and sacrificed a lot for his kingdom .Can they imagine to exist such a person who sacrificed his topmost pleasure for others now a days.
What Sadhguru is telling is, it doesn't matter whether he is an avatar of Vishnu. The qualities of that man whether he existed or not, despite of the fact that he was an avatar, are worth worshipping. Beyond the scope of religion Rama's story tells us to be a better human.
He was so good that people started considering him as divine.....that's where the concept of being avatar of vishnu comes. .... Even gautama was considered an avatara much after he got enlightened
Rama is being regarded here in India because of his larger then life great character. He was a lord & king too, so as the most powerful personality on planet. He could have done the things in most easy ways. Though he has chosen simplicity & also shown us that how a king can live a life very grounded to the earth. U can rather feel such qualities even today in Indian Sanatan culture & society. He is an absolute idol & always remain for us. Jai sri Ram🙏
Thanks for understanding Hinduism. A religion is not that tells about your clothing and meals but it explains " What is life". Hinduism is not just a seffron colour. It has all colours of life. It's much more.
Yes , you are correct. Vishnu takes avatar to show how to live your life righteously & perform your duty. This is like a roleplay we call as #Leela. In fact there are plays everywhere in India to sjow these very qualities in Rama known as Ram-Leela ( don't confuse with the absurd movie by this name).
that's the point here, in "sanatana dharma" aka "Hinduism", one is free to question even God. we have always been questioning God and still continuing to do so. And it's Rama's Quality that makes him Godlike but he is still a Human, he was born as a human and eventually died as all Humans do. his quality puts him above humans, that normal Humans doesn't show.
Lord Vishnu, incarnated as Lord Shri Ram, to lead an exemplary life for all , as a Human. HE is God himself with all powers. HE could have killed Ravana in a jiffi, there was no need for HIM to take help from the Vanaras ( monkey kingdom). Since HE incarnated as a human, and the mission of this incarnation was to show people how to lead one's life virtuously as a son, as a King , as a husband , as a brother, as a friend and so on..... HE had to behave & act accordingly as a common man. HE could have also gone back to HIS own kingdome and gathered his own army + army from other kingdom's as well. But HE wanted to fight his own battle, in the most righteousness way possible. Thus Lord Rama is called PURUSHUTTAM. ... THIS COULD HAVE CLEARED YOUR DOUBT OF HE BEING GOD. Q HIS character & thinking that HE was an insecured person or having any other doubts on HE being GOD, is utter stupidity & a shameful act. These men should introspect, that do they even have one virtue that LORD RAMA hold's , that they are Q'ing HIM. Today many MORONS, who cannot miss a chance of backbiting about his /her own ppl, have the audacity to Q about Lord Rama. Just because you are giving freedom to talk about Hinduism, one cannot talk as they wish. These 3 grow up , so called intellectual men, have hurt me.
Professor, you are on the spot, he is revered as deity, we all are incarnation of supreme being, we are divine being came on earth to expirience human life. Hanuman is power of wind, he removes obstacles in kundalini pathway, Try pranayam some day, you will feel it
Lord Rama being an avatar of Vishnu possessed tremendous power ...... He could have turned whole world upside down whenever he wanted to......but his life and incarnation on the earth was purely meant to direct human beings through various problems faced in their life......his every moment of life is solution to our today's problem.
Today the people left about thinking whether mahabharat is true or not. But the main thing is that it will teach you a life lesson better than any book in the world
Raam is the most dedicated man to fulfilling his duties. Born from Divine boon to King Dashrath's first wife Queen Kaushalyaa, he's also an Avataar. So, it's like asking which came first chicken or the egg when we ask why is he worshipped.. because he's a God he's the dutiful or because he's the dutiful that's why he's a God. Both aspects are present with him.
There are three fundamental qualities of this existance - creation, preservation and dustruction,which are refer as bharma vishnu and mhesha(shiva).so rama and krishna refer as the avtar of vishnu because the bear the second quality
When sitting on a tree of knowledge, just because you can't see the bottom or the root,don't ever think it's not important and try cutting it away.. because your view or knowledge might only be covered by just a small branch and above you the tree might be as high as the sky. This 3 boys obviously thinking they've reached the tree top and trying to cut off the root without realising those action may bring down the whole tree on themself.
Yes Rama was one of the major incarnations of Lord Vishnu. But if someone refuses to believe that even then he was an exemplary man by his own actions, worthy of respect and admiration if not devotion.
Rama and the people never knew he was the Avatar of Vishnu. If this was known, Ravana could not be killed by him on account of the boons he had protecting him. Rama's existential reason was to kill Ravana!
I liked ur question about vishnu incarnation workship of rama , In general Its a point to be noted that , the ramayan and mahabharata was written after it occurred so based on the quality of the rama he is been said to be like vishnu and since from the beginning of the human its been feed to the people by the rishi that vishnu is going to transcend to the earth 10 times (no names mention not even places but it was mention that in which yuga how many avatars is going to be done) So the conclusions is people decided that rama was vishnu avatar ,it was not written any where till the people have agreed to this , You see Hinduism allows us to , not to workship rama , or not to believe that rama was vishnu avatar , it our making we make him avatar of vishnu for those qualities he hav the real thing is "The qualities makes him avatar of vishnu".. Not bcoz he is the avatar of vishnu so he has those qualities , Remember we hindu mostly says "He/she is god like human "
Finally the bloody fact is professor needs sadhguru to get views and earn dollars. Be loyal and dont forget this, your food still comes from sadhguru only😂
The incarnations are not just worshipped because they're Vishnu avatars, but also for the teachings, the examples they set to us, the good things to learn from them..this is the very reason vishnu took human form to show what humans are capable of and the good deeds we can do and learn ...if possible also read bhagwat geetha ..all life lessons to arjuna indirectly also to all of us humans by Krishna another vishnu avatar...
All avtaar are known from his karma what he's doing in entire life.all avtaar teached a lesson to their people.and people got a knowledge from the avtar. how to live happily and truthfullness in our daily life .
Siddhartha Gautama is also an avatar of Vishnu. Who ever fights and struggles to protect the Dharma of Humanity is said to be an avatar of Vishnu - the preserver of mankind. The Buddha, Rama & Krishna were humans who walked this Earth considered as avatars of Vishnu because their whole life they stood for Dharma & Society !!
He (Rama) was not the only human avatara of Vishnu. There are Vamana and Parshurama also who are not revered as much as Rama is despite being avatarws of vishnu.
When the Students say 'a random dhobi', it hurts me. It shows the very fact how poor people are still considered insignificant. It's always easy to judge others, but not easy to decide for yourself.
First of all when rama was born nobody actually might have known that he is the incarnation of vishnu. So the actions he took in his life made people understand that he is an incarnation of vishu himself.
Rama is firstly worshiped for his qualities even if he was not avatar of vishnu he would still be worshipped ,hanuman is the symbol of loyalty and devotion so people pray to him for those qualities and he is avatar of shiva . It is the lessons and inspiration and their stories that people feel attached to, and this helps us to become better human beings.
We had avatars of Shiva himself which we don't worship because in some way we don't see them to have done something in favour of humanity or the life in general.. If we have ever seen someone with a determination to bring about a change for the sake of humanity or any form of life(for which they could have sacrificed everything or really did it) then we have regarded them with the title of Ishwar(Isht+Vara) which translates to God in human form. So it basically doesn't really matter to us that he was an avatar of Vishnu. The second point you said... I also think like that.. and when you really observe the name of these characters it really brings us to the point which you said.. nice observing styles you got there.♥️
Lord Ram is worshipped in India for his righteous actions. He was a duty bound monarch who set the ideals and standards for the kings to follow. He's not worshipped just by the virtue of being an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It's Lord Ram's actions that make him 'Maryada Purushottam'-the ultimate, most honorable man, an ideal for kings. His actions highlight how a king should conduct himself. He set rules for duties of a king.

Yes his a 10th avatar of Vishnu Rama is 8th & Buddha was 9th 10 final is kalki Every generation lord sent his avatar In the world To restablished the Dharma When negative every or evil more than positive energy or good people loosing Their place on Earth!
My dears RAJESH Nd NANU…There are 24 Avatara’s in total.…Guru Gobind Singh ji Liked 10 out of them , the most .He liked those 10 out of 24 Avataras who fought with EVIL FORCES. NO doubt Guru wrote in detail about all the 24…Jagtar S Aujla USA
Even I'm not a scholar but what I know/understand is that whenever the Dharma will decrease, the divine Maha Vishnu will incarnate in different forms to restore Dharma. In Dwapar yuga when there was Adharma rising to its peak. Lord Vishnu incarnated as Rama in a human form to establish an example of how one should perform things according to Dharma. The lord could have just wiped out all the Adharma in no time. But this could not give an ideal example for all the human beings. Nobody can understand his Leela. 🙌 !! Om Namo Narayanaya!!🙏
Ram- The righteous and dutiful administrator.
Krishna- The practical and realist politician and strategist.
Approaches could be different but intentions were always to fight for the right.

If whole world is family, every human, every creature, every insect is family. And all of these worship different gods. And we consider everyone who has done admirably well in their life, a God. In short, a Hindu considers everyone no different from a Hindu.
I worships lord rama, because he is supreme god.
Ram is worshipped as a GOD because he lived a very painful life to teach humans how we should behave in these situations .
No because he’s the supreme lords incarnation
What you need to understand about indian mythology is that each story has a core lesson. Because Ram was such a great and rightful king, he is considered to be an Avatar of Vishnu and worshipped. Hinduism celebrates and worships extra-ordinary MORTAL men who once walked this Earth and did exemplary things. All the magical parts are add -ons, but are not that relevant. The core lesson is all that matters.
Absolutely Amazing my Brother!!! True
Don't call it mythology it's not totally myth
Not mythology
Every one student in the world but good students never asked idiots question, they don't ask Islamic or Christian mythology in way of criticism, bcz that was weakness for leftist.
Its not a mythology. Have some sense
I'm from Tamil Nadu.... Pandavas lived here in disguise during angyatha Vasa which was called as virada desa in mahabarath.... I live in Palani town 70 km from the place called kundadam. It is the place where Bheem killed keechagan the brother of the queen of virada desa, there is a small temple built on the ruins of the fort of virada king.... The temple is thousands of years old and is a living example of the mahabarath tale..... Incredible India incredible history incredible knowledge everything incredible 🙏
Maryada: Duties
Purushottam: Best Man
Maryada Purushottam Raam collectively means _The Best Man At Fulfilling Life's Duties RAAM_
SADHGURU is outstanding, genious miracle, I couldn't express because I am poor in English language.
He is worshipped, not only because he was avatar of lord Vishnu, he worshipped ,because the steps taken by him
what steps killing of a shudra who unknowingly heard the rishis enchanting the verses of veda ?
He was an incarnation of Vishnu but ordinary people at that time didn't know that, they worshiped him for his incredible qualities....when people learned ramayan then they knew he was God.
Jay Shree Ram🙏
Being a Hindu, l really liked ur views!!!🙏🙏
JOE from Nalsar needs Jesus
@Akshay Patra and he thinks Bible is more practical than Ramayana......LMAO.....ROFL😂😂😂😂😂😂😵
virgin's Son and all😝😝
Correct he is reincarnation of Vishnu. But he took human avatar so he set examples on human level not God ( Visnhn ) level and for this reason also we worship Him. 🙏
You are doing a great job Sir. All best wishes keep it up. Jai Hind Jai Sree Ram
Thanks so much for your understanding for this understanding. This is what i love about Americans.. Real Ones. they are raw but true..
Only in India can we debate, question our gods so openly and publicly like this.
He is encarnation of Lord Vishnu, yes... That is what history and scriptures say.. He was a man with good qualities, that is what Sadhguru says... So let's trust many thousands old scriptures...
You have already become one of the Sadguruji's devotee by accepting that what you do not know as not known yet. Thanks lot for this video.
Must remember also that there was a purpose and leela for each episode of Ramayana. Sita was only apparently sent to the forest to satisfy the citizens, but as wife of Lord Rama, she also knew the hidden reason - so that she could tell the whole story of Ramayana to Valmiki, who wrote it all down! This great sage in the forest took care of her and also aided in bringing up her sons, Lav and Kush. This was also for her own and Rama's son's protection. The beauty is in the details!
loved your word bro.keeo posting and keep expressing yourself.namasthe from bharathvarsh(hindustan/India.
He was also self realisation man those days everybody use to practice this..this made him suttle and carry on his life with love in heart and many other things....thats why he was worshiped
1. ram is so good as a person thats why people see him as an avatar of vishnu
Thanks for your reaction on this topic.
Just to make it easy, Ramayana sounds like "Raamaayana" and Mahabharata sounds like "Mahaa Bhaaratha"...
Professor, you are looking at Bharat by the goggles of Abrahamic religions. And Bharatiya has no religion (Hinduism is no religion in a true sense. It is just people outside Bharat had made our geographical identity a religion in our texts there nowhere written that it is our religion ). So, just being a mere incarnation of God doesn't make him great. Even in some part of India Ravana is worshipped. So, it is not that a person is worshipped but his or her karma and dharma (how he convey his duties and obligation) made him a great. So, when Ravana was dying Ram sent Laxman to take final lessons from Ravana as Ravana was the greatest devotee of Shiva and bhraman of his time. Even Ravana was an incarnation of devas (for foreigners we say God but somewhat a diety). In Bharat, we worship the spirit or soul rather than the mere physical body so idols are just mere representations which have no value. When you go to very old temples (mandirs) you'll find that there the idols are just pieces of stones and nothing more but the faiths of people made them special.
It is difficult to understand our way of life which has no name or specific identity but it is the only thing which binds our nationhood. Even we modern-day Bharatiya are not able to understand it clearly consciously but unconsciously we do. So, I hope that you may have got some insights into our way of life.
Rama and krishna are two faces of lord vishnu....and rama is still king of india...
It was the pride of sita he defended by going to find her in sri lanka. No prejudice. Yeah you are right too people think he is avatar of vishnu.
He was called the avatar of vishnu because he displayed such wonderful qualities.
Apart from that, whether he was avatar or not, he is adored because he was a model human being in face of hardship.
Yes you got it.He is the Avatar of VISHNU.
Lord ram was the 7th avatar of Lord vishnu
in INDIA we worship him because inspite of being an avatar he lives his life like an ordinary human and accepts all the pain and suffering life through at him and performs his every duty with out any complains. He does not have to face those kind of pain because he was an avatar but still he did.... That's why we worship him
It not about the avtaar of vishnu. its about the karm of rama what he's doing thats why all indian bow down to him
Professor You also got sadhguru Effect 💐✌️✴️
When examples from Shree Ram are given in everyday life are about how he conducted himself as a human being .
Even Bhagwan ParshuRam was also an avatar of Vishu bhagwan but he is not worshipped.
Why these three young people don't understand that Ram did not not leave his wife happily.He left her with much sorrow in his heart only for his subjects.He mentally suffered much through out his life and sacrificed a lot for his kingdom .Can they imagine to exist such a person who sacrificed his topmost pleasure for others now a days.
What Sadhguru is telling is, it doesn't matter whether he is an avatar of Vishnu. The qualities of that man whether he existed or not, despite of the fact that he was an avatar, are worth worshipping. Beyond the scope of religion Rama's story tells us to be a better human.
HE WAS...but we worship him because of his character and the huge hearted rightful person he was.
He was so good that people started considering him as divine.....that's where the concept of being avatar of vishnu comes. ....
Even gautama was considered an avatara much after he got enlightened
Yes he was avatar of Vishu and he came to earth to teach human how to behave
Rama is being regarded here in India because of his larger then life great character. He was a lord & king too, so as the most powerful personality on planet. He could have done the things in most easy ways. Though he has chosen simplicity & also shown us that how a king can live a life very grounded to the earth. U can rather feel such qualities even today in Indian Sanatan culture & society. He is an absolute idol & always remain for us. Jai sri Ram🙏
If ram nor exist then who's gave the name ram?
Ram is called the "maryada purushottam" it means an ideal man and an ideal man himself is an avatar of God professor.
Yes lord rama is a reincarnation of a god vishnu...Very nice video...jai shree ram🙏
Rama was a real man...his action made him a god..or rather a godlike
Mr Chaterji…you are right …Purshottam. =Purash + uttam ,that means UTTAM PURASH , HE-MAN or REAL MAN . BEST MAN……Jagtar Singh Aujla USA
Jai Shri Ram 🚩 🚩🚩 🚩
Thanks for understanding Hinduism. A religion is not that tells about your clothing and meals but it explains " What is life". Hinduism is not just a seffron colour. It has all colours of life. It's much more.
India is mother of all religion lord Buddhist, Christianity, sikkhi,jain and many religion birth in Indian concept
Yes he is Avatar of Vishnu but it's his personality and kindness that makes him great among people.
India -most sacred country
People who search for real humanity, visit India.
Yes , you are correct. Vishnu takes avatar to show how to live your life righteously & perform your duty.
This is like a roleplay we call as #Leela. In fact there are plays everywhere in India to sjow these very qualities in Rama known as Ram-Leela ( don't confuse with the absurd movie by this name).
that's the point here, in "sanatana dharma" aka "Hinduism", one is free to question even God. we have always been questioning God and still continuing to do so. And it's Rama's Quality that makes him Godlike but he is still a Human, he was born as a human and eventually died as all Humans do. his quality puts him above humans, that normal Humans doesn't show.
Lord Vishnu, incarnated as Lord Shri Ram, to lead an exemplary life for all , as a Human. HE is God himself with all powers. HE could have killed Ravana in a jiffi, there was no need for HIM to take help from the Vanaras ( monkey kingdom). Since HE incarnated as a human, and the mission of this incarnation was to show people how to lead one's life virtuously as a son, as a King , as a husband , as a brother, as a friend and so on..... HE had to behave & act accordingly as a common man. HE could have also gone back to HIS own kingdome and gathered his own army + army from other kingdom's as well. But HE wanted to fight his own battle, in the most righteousness way possible.
Thus Lord Rama is called PURUSHUTTAM. ... THIS COULD HAVE CLEARED YOUR DOUBT OF HE BEING GOD.
Q HIS character & thinking that HE was an insecured person or having any other doubts on HE being GOD, is utter stupidity & a shameful act.
These men should introspect, that do they even have one virtue that LORD RAMA hold's , that they are Q'ing HIM. Today many MORONS, who cannot miss a chance of backbiting about his /her own ppl, have the audacity to Q about Lord Rama. Just because you are giving freedom to talk about Hinduism, one cannot talk as they wish. These 3 grow up , so called intellectual men, have hurt me.
Yesa
You are a blessed soul.
Professor, you are on the spot, he is revered as deity, we all are incarnation of supreme being, we are divine being came on earth to expirience human life. Hanuman is power of wind, he removes obstacles in kundalini pathway, Try pranayam some day, you will feel it
Incarnation not means the most but what he did in his life was the main thing and that is the reason why he is worshipped
Lord Rama being an avatar of Vishnu possessed tremendous power ...... He could have turned whole world upside down whenever he wanted to......but his life and incarnation on the earth was purely meant to direct human beings through various problems faced in their life......his every moment of life is solution to our today's problem.
The young man who is saying Rama is insecure is my child.. I had an affair with his Mom..pls forgive him
Lord Ram is backbone of all the joint families.
😆 agreed
Today the people left about thinking whether mahabharat is true or not. But the main thing is that it will teach you a life lesson better than any book in the world
He is worshipped today because he is an Avatar of Vishnu. But at that time he was worshipped as just a great king.
Raam is the most dedicated man to fulfilling his duties. Born from Divine boon to King Dashrath's first wife Queen Kaushalyaa, he's also an Avataar. So, it's like asking which came first chicken or the egg when we ask why is he worshipped.. because he's a God he's the dutiful or because he's the dutiful that's why he's a God. Both aspects are present with him.
1. Yes one of the reason is being incarnation of divine.
2. The way he lived his life is something which no human being can match.
There are three fundamental qualities of this existance - creation, preservation and dustruction,which are refer as bharma vishnu and mhesha(shiva).so rama and krishna refer as the avtar of vishnu because the bear the second quality
When sitting on a tree of knowledge, just because you can't see the bottom or the root,don't ever think it's not important and try cutting it away.. because your view or knowledge might only be covered by just a small branch and above you the tree might be as high as the sky. This 3 boys obviously thinking they've reached the tree top and trying to cut off the root without realising those action may bring down the whole tree on themself.
there has been many other incarnations of vishnu, but Rama is most popular and most loved of all.
He is incarnation of Vishnu the divine 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes Rama was one of the major incarnations of Lord Vishnu. But if someone refuses to believe that even then he was an exemplary man by his own actions, worthy of respect and admiration if not devotion.
Rama and the people never knew he was the Avatar of Vishnu. If this was known, Ravana could not be killed by him on account of the boons he had protecting him. Rama's existential reason was to kill Ravana!
I liked ur question about vishnu incarnation workship of rama ,
In general
Its a point to be noted that , the ramayan and mahabharata was written after it occurred so based on the quality of the rama he is been said to be like vishnu and
since from the beginning of the human its been feed to the people by the rishi that vishnu is going to transcend to the earth 10 times (no names mention not even places but it was mention that in which yuga how many avatars is going to be done)
So the conclusions is people decided that rama was vishnu avatar ,it was not written any where till the people have agreed to this ,
You see Hinduism allows us to , not to workship rama , or not to believe that rama was vishnu avatar , it our making we make him avatar of vishnu for those qualities he hav
the real thing is "The qualities makes him avatar of vishnu"..
Not bcoz he is the avatar of vishnu so he has those qualities ,
Remember we hindu mostly says "He/she is god like human "
Finally the bloody fact is professor needs sadhguru to get views and earn dollars. Be loyal and dont forget this, your food still comes from sadhguru only😂
No Brother he is here for a reason either he respects Our Culture or else Distorted it like Teresa and Macolly
The incarnations are not just worshipped because they're Vishnu avatars, but also for the teachings, the examples they set to us, the good things to learn from them..this is the very reason vishnu took human form to show what humans are capable of and the good deeds we can do and learn ...if possible also read bhagwat geetha ..all life lessons to arjuna indirectly also to all of us humans by Krishna another vishnu avatar...
Ramayan happened more than 8 lakh years back, Mahabharat happened 5140 years back
Very good explain about Shree Ram by Sadgurudev.
All avtaar are known from his karma what he's doing in entire life.all avtaar teached a lesson to their people.and people got a knowledge from the avtar. how to live happily and truthfullness in our daily life .
He is indeed an incarnation of Vishnu. But the reason he is worshipped is because of his life's story.
Siddhartha Gautama is also an avatar of Vishnu. Who ever fights and struggles to protect the Dharma of Humanity is said to be an avatar of Vishnu - the preserver of mankind. The Buddha, Rama & Krishna were humans who walked this Earth considered as avatars of Vishnu because their whole life they stood for Dharma & Society !!
He (Rama) was not the only human avatara of Vishnu. There are Vamana and Parshurama also who are not revered as much as Rama is despite being avatarws of vishnu.
we worship Bhagwaan RAM as Bhagwan Vishnu Avatar and also for his Immense Quality..
The point is, one should not worship just bcoz he is called/considered incarnation of the Divine. What he did to people of society makes him worth it.
I never for a second thought Rama sent away sita because of pride... it was out if responsibility. It was the opposite of pride.
When the Students say 'a random dhobi', it hurts me. It shows the very fact how poor people are still considered insignificant. It's always easy to judge others, but not easy to decide for yourself.
Rama is also called PURUSHOTHAMAN. The perfect man. He did his karma no matter what.
First of all when rama was born nobody actually might have known that he is the incarnation of vishnu. So the actions he took in his life made people understand that he is an incarnation of vishu himself.
U are very like vin diesel
That's why i subscribed your channel..
Where are you guys we in India loved both of you but you just disappeared hope you both are fine hope to see you both again be happy
Rama is firstly worshiped for his qualities even if he was not avatar of vishnu he would still be worshipped ,hanuman is the symbol of loyalty and devotion so people pray to him for those qualities and he is avatar of shiva . It is the lessons and inspiration and their stories that people feel attached to, and this helps us to become better human beings.
We had avatars of Shiva himself which we don't worship because in some way we don't see them to have done something in favour of humanity or the life in general..
If we have ever seen someone with a determination to bring about a change for the sake of humanity or any form of life(for which they could have sacrificed everything or really did it) then we have regarded them with the title of Ishwar(Isht+Vara) which translates to God in human form.
So it basically doesn't really matter to us that he was an avatar of Vishnu.
The second point you said... I also think like that.. and when you really observe the name of these characters it really brings us to the point which you said.. nice observing styles you got there.♥️
Lord Ram is worshipped in India for his righteous actions. He was a duty bound monarch who set the ideals and standards for the kings to follow. He's not worshipped just by the virtue of being an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It's Lord Ram's actions that make him 'Maryada Purushottam'-the ultimate, most honorable man, an ideal for kings. His actions highlight how a king should conduct himself. He set rules for duties of a king.
I am so happy having accidentally coming across your channel . I must say after looking at you “enthusiastically watching the show along with us” it was such a wonderful feeling to see your interest in “Eastern Cultural History”. Finally, you wrapping up at the end with your own “original comments” that I enjoy to listen to. Keep it going ..
Thanks
Hello, this is Tish! Jeremy and I are thrilled that you have discovered our channel :)
Yes his a 10th avatar of Vishnu
Rama is 8th & Buddha was 9th
10 final is kalki
Every generation lord sent his avatar
In the world
To restablished the Dharma
When negative every or evil more than positive energy or good people loosing
Their place on Earth!
My dears RAJESH Nd NANU…There are 24 Avatara’s in total.…Guru Gobind Singh ji Liked 10 out of them , the most .He liked those 10 out of 24 Avataras who fought with EVIL FORCES. NO doubt Guru wrote in detail about all the 24…Jagtar S Aujla USA
Even I'm not a scholar but what I know/understand is that whenever the Dharma will decrease, the divine Maha Vishnu will incarnate in different forms to restore Dharma. In Dwapar yuga when there was Adharma rising to its peak. Lord Vishnu incarnated as Rama in a human form to establish an example of how one should perform things according to Dharma. The lord could have just wiped out all the Adharma in no time. But this could not give an ideal example for all the human beings. Nobody can understand his Leela. 🙌 !! Om Namo Narayanaya!!🙏
