Sri Ram is the name of the central
male character in the Hindu epic poem, the "Ramayana," and is an incarnation of Vishnu. The name comes from the Sanskrit sri, which is a title of respect similar to “lord,” and rama, meaning “charming.”
Sri Ram is one of the most worshipped of all the Hindu gods, and in some sects, is considered the supreme
god, rather than just an
avatar. He is also known as Ram, Rama, Sri Rama, Lord Rama and Ramachandra, among others. Sri Ram’s name is a form of greeting among
friends, either singularly (“Ram!”) or with his consort, Sita (“Sita Ram!”).
