अर्थ

यह श्रीराम की पूजा और रामरक्षा स्तोत्र के पूर्व पढ़ा जाने वाला शास्त्रीय ध्यान-श्लोक है, जो भगवान राम का पूर्ण ध्यानात्मक चित्र प्रस्तुत करता है। यह उन्हें आजानुबाहु और कमलनयन, धनुष-बाणधारी, पद्मासन में बायीं गोद में सीता सहित विराजमान, मेघश्याम और जटामुकुटधारी रूप में चित्रित करता है। इस छवि का ध्यान प्रार्थना से पूर्व राम के शान्त, राजसी रूप को हृदय में स्थिर कर देता है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Traditional dhyana shloka of Sri Rama, recited as the meditation verse preceding the Ramaraksha Stotra and Rama worship · Traditional (associated with the Ramaraksha Stotra tradition of Budha Kaushika) · Classical / medieval devotional period

Dhyana-shlokas establish the form of the deity in the mind before worship, and this verse serves that role for Rama. Placed before the celebrated Ramaraksha Stotra, it assembles Rama's auspicious marks — the knee-length arms, lotus eyes, bow and arrow, lotus posture, yellow robes, cloud-dark hue, and matted-lock crown — together with Sita on his lap, giving the devotee a single, complete image of Sita-Rama to meditate upon.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Devotees of the Ramaraksha tradition hold that meditating on this form of Rama before reciting the stotra surrounds the worshipper with the Lord's protection, for tradition says Rama himself, pleased by such loving contemplation, shields his devotee from every fear just as his name and form guarded the sage who received the Ramaraksha in a dream.

जप संख्या3बार
उत्तम समयBefore reciting the Ramaraksha Stotra or Rama bhajans, during morning worship, and on Rama Navami

Sit calmly and, as you chant, build the image part by part — the long arms with bow and arrow, the lotus posture, the yellow garments, the serene lotus-petal eyes, Sita on the left lap, the cloud-dark form, the ornaments and the crown of matted locks. Recite this dhyana once or three times to establish Rama's form in the mind before beginning the Ramaraksha Stotra, other Rama stotras, or meditation.

'Ajanu-bahu' (arms reaching to the knees) is a traditional mark of a great and noble personage (mahapurusha) in Indian iconography, indicating strength, generosity, and divine majesty. It is one of the auspicious bodily signs attributed to Rama.
