He is the seventh avatar(incarnation) of Lord Vishnu. Born as the son of Dasaratha(father) and Kausalya(mother). The meaning of the word Rama is "Ramyathe ithi Ramaha" (sankrit) translation: "One who pleases your heart is Rama". rama is the husband of "sita" who is the daughter of king Janaka of Mithila.
Rama's life and journey symbolizes how one should have perfect
adherence of dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. He is the
embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideal son, and above all, the
ideal king. Rama is Maryada Purushottama, or The Perfect Man. More About Ram
Ram is the one who liberated the world from the evil of Ravan.
Ram is Hanuman's lord.
Ram is one of the most worshiped incarnations of Vishnu.
Ram is brother of Lakshman, Bharat, Satrughna
Ram is the one who crossed the ocean to Lanka by building the Ram setu which is today's Adam's Bridge ( claimed to be ).
Though Ram is to be everything, everywhere, everytime.
Jai shri Ram! :)
Aupmanyav adds: Both what Srigiridhar and drrsunderraj say is correct. There is no need to cross anything out.
Who is the author of Naveena Ramayana?
Kabir is said to be the author of Navina / Novena / Naveena Ramayanam.
Some also ascribe Kabir to be the first Indian saint to have harmonized Hinduism and Islam by preaching a universal path which both Hindus and Muslims could tread together.
Who reminded Hanuman of his strength at the time of crossing the ocean?
Jambavan (also known as Jambavantha) reminded Hanuman of his strength and abilities and encouraged him to go across the ocean and find Sita.
He said, "No one else has your strength and wisdom and radiance. You do not know your real strength. You can certainly cross the ocean and reach the other side."
Then Hanuman at his will grew his body to the heights of the sky and felt the great strength within him as his confidence also grew.
He then crossed the ocean with one great leap flying across the sky and reached Lanka.
Is the story of Rama and Sita real?
Yes
The absolute facts about Ramayana:Ramayana and history:
Ramayana is a great epic that is based on facts. The places mentioned in it have real existence. Hindus, therefore, believe that it is a text book of history and not a mythological book.
However, it has to be realized that Hinduism, by default, keeps its followers at the junction of their real and imaginary worlds. This, is also the way human beings are supposed to live. Looked from this angle Ramayana looks like a historical event.
If we look at Ramayana from the real world itself i.e. scientifically, it may become difficult for us to believe that it is historical. Hanuman uprooting a mountain and flying in the air with the mountain in one hand won't make much sense to us.
The message of Ramayana:
Ramayana has a great message that makes it a sacred book and eternally popular. It encourages Hindus to be satisfied with whatever they have. The epic, in fact, is about what happens if we cross the boundary of satisfaction and enter an unknown world.
1. This crossing of the boundary of satisfaction is symbolized in Ramayana by the kidnapping of Sita by Ravana.
2. Ravana is symbolic of the bad parallel life, that is independent of our main life.
3. Killing of Ravana is symbolic of the destruction of our bad parallel life.
4. Return of Rama to Ayodhya with Sita is symbolic of our return to our controllable natural life i.e. a life between our positive and negative attitudes.
If we want to put into practice the message of Ramayana, and thus discard our greed, then we have to firmly believe that it is a historical event.
Which rakshasa did bheema kill in ekachakra?

Where can you download samkshepa Ramayana in sanskrit pdf?

So if you look for Valmiki's Ramayana, you'll be able to find the Samskshepa Ramayana as well. Thus to answer your question, you can find it at all these places:

What did kaikeyi plot against rama?
Kaikeyi, one of King Dasharatha's queens in the epic Ramayana, plotted against Rama to secure the throne for her son, Bharata. Influenced by a servant's words and her own desire for power, she reminded Dasharatha of a promise he had made to grant her two boons. She demanded that Rama be exiled to the forest for 14 years and that Bharata be crowned king, ultimately leading to a series of events that changed the course of their lives.
