Lord Shri Ram and Mother Sita

Why Lord Ram Is Called Ramchandra: Lord Shri Ram had incarnated in Treta Yuga. Shri Ram is known as the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Shri Ram was born to King Dasharatha of Ayodhya. Mother Kaushalya gave birth to Shri Ram. Shri Ram was a Suryavanshi king. Shri Ram is also called the moon of Suryavansh. Even after being a Suryavanshi, ‘Chandra’ (Ramchandra) is added after the name of Lord Ram, but has this question ever come to your mind that why is it so? There are not just one but many reasons for naming ‘Chandra’ after Lord Ram, so let’s know about them.

Lord Shri Ram has been compared to the moon many times in Valmiki Ramayana. Here ‘Chandra’ means being ‘beautiful and beautiful like the moon’. ‘Chandra’ is added behind Lord Shri Ram for this reason. Lord Shri Ram is known as gentle, calm and cool nature and Maryada Purushottam. The moon is also calm and cool. In such a situation, this is also a reason why ‘Chandra’ is added after Shri Ram.

this is a story

‘Say Hanuman, listen to me Lord, your dear servant.
‘Tav Murti Bidhu Ur Basati Soi Syamalata Abhaas’.

This is a line from Sunderkand of Ramcharitmanas. It is said in this line that Hanuman ji, a great devotee of Lord Shri Ram, used to give him the image of the moon. After this, Hanuman ji told the Lord that the moon is his favorite slave. Because of this also people started calling Prabhu as ‘Ramchandra’.

this is also an incident

In another incident, it is told that in childhood, Shri Ram wanted to sleep with the moon next to him. Then Mother Kaushalya showed the reflection of the moon in a vessel, so that the Lord would sleep. This incident also shows how much God loved the moon.
