Is Shri Ram Human?

सीतानाथ समारम्भां रामानन्दार्य मध्यमाम्।
अस्मदाचार्य पर्यन्तां वन्दे श्रीगुरू परम्पराम् ।।

Get clear view of Shlokā;

आत्मानं मानुषं मन्ये रामं दशरथात्मजम् || (६-११७-११)

Many of us some times get easily confused with this shlokā, as we think the word maanuSham here means human. But this is not true, earlier I have already explained it and you guys have given a very good response in that but this time let's see same Shlokā with a quite different meaning.

The actual meaning of Manushya is successors of Manu (one who has appeared in Manu Dynasty= मनु के वंश में प्रकट हैं इसीलिए मनुष्य कहे जाते हैं)

And he is the same Manu who has established Ayodhyā on earth as said in Vedāvatāar Śrīmad Vālmiki Rāmayan 1.5.6;

अयोध्या नाम नगरी तत्रऽऽसीत् लोकविश्रुता।
मनुना मानवेन्द्रेण या पुरी निर्मिता स्वयम्॥

A world-renowned city is there in that kingdom, which is personally built by Manu, the foremost ruler of mankind.

And Lord Śrī Rām has appeared in same Manu Dynasty. So actually Shri Ram in aatmaanam maanuSham manye raamam dasharathaatmajam (6.117.21) is saying that, “In dynasty of Manu (मनुवंश= मनुष्य) I recognise myself as a son of Dasarātha".

Again repeating, Śrī Ram has never said he is Manushya rather he has siad, I recognise myself as a son of Dasarātha in the dynasty of Manu. (मनु वंश में मैं दशरथ नंदन राम हूं)

Matlb Śrī Brahmā ji is saying to Shri Ram लोकानामादिकर्ता स्वयं प्रभुः two Times in that same sarg (117) which means You are alone Swāyam Bhagwān (free from everyone, nobody is above you) as this also confirms the Vedās saying;

प्रतियोगिविनिर्मुक्तब्रह्मविद्यैकगोचरम् ।
अखण्डनिर्विकल्पं तद्रामचन्द्रपदं भजे ॥

I worship the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Rāmachandrā, who has no alternative, i e. he is Nirvikālp, when Brahmavidya is said, then only he is visible. And who is free from all kinds of competition (because no one can stand along him).

(Krishna Yajurveda Sarasvati-rahasya Upanishad 1.1)

So kindly do not fall in the trap of these modern intellectuals who are ready to prove their demonic mindset. And please read that sarg (117) of Yuddha Kand. So that no may beguile you in this context. Lord of Sāket Śrī Rām is not an avatar of anyone he is swayam Paratpār Par-Brahmā as confirmed by Vedās ITSELF;

एतेषु चैव सर्वेषु तत्त्वं च ब्रह्म तारकम् ।
राम एव परं ब्रह्म राम एव परं तपः ।।
राम एव परं तत्त्वं श्रीरामो ब्रह्म तारकम् ।।
वायुत्रेणोक्तास्ते योगीन्द्रा ऋषयो विष्णुभक्ता हनूमन्तं पप्रच्छुः रामस्याङ्गानि नो ब्रूहीति ।
वायुपुत्रं विघ्नेशं वाणीं दुर्गां क्षेत्रपालकं सूर्यं चन्द्रं नारायणं नारसिंहं वायुदेवं वाराहं तत्सर्वान्त्समात्रान्त्सीतं लक्ष्मणं शत्रुघ्नं भरतं विभीषणं सुग्रीवमङ्गदं जाम्बवन्तं प्रणवमेतानि रामस्याङ्गानि जानीथाः ।

(Yajurvedā Shäkhayam RāmRahāshyopanishād 1.6/7½)

In all the scriptures like Vedās, the supreme principle is 'Tāraka Rāma' in the form of Brāhman. Śrī Rāma is alnoe Supreme Brāhman. Śrī Rāma is alone highest Tapa. Śrī Rāma is alone highest Tattva. Śrī Rāma is alone Taraka Brahma. Hanumān Ji preached to the devotee of Śrī Hāri Vīshnu and other Rishis "I myself, Śrī Ganēshā, Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Durgā, All the Guardian (Khetra Pāl), Sun (Suryā), Moon, Lord Śrī Hāri Nāräyana, Lord Naräsimha, Lord Vāsudev (Śrī Krishnā), Lord Vāraha etc. all are the mere parts of Lord Śrī Rāma. Lakshmāna, Shātrughna, Bharata, Vibhishana, Sugriva, Angad, Jambavant and Pranav (Om ॐ) are also mere parts of Lord Śrī Rāma.

Again from Vedās ITSELF;

ब्रह्मादिपञ्चब्रह्माणो यत्र विश्रान्तिमाप्नुयुः ।
तदखण्डसुखाकारं रामचन्द्रपदं भजे ॥

(Krishna Yajurvedā Shäkhayam Pānch Brahmõpanishād 1.1)

I worship the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Rāmachandrā, the cause of eternal bliss, where the five Brahmas (Shri Shiva, Shri Hāri Vīshnu, Shri Ganesha, Bhagwati Durga and Shri Surya) along with Brahma etc. always find rest (ashraya).

And above all Vedsaar Śrīmad Rāmcharit Mānas says;

रामु काम सत कोटि सुभग तन । दुर्गा कोटि अमित अरि मर्दन ॥
सक्र कोटि सत सरिस बिलासा । नभ सत कोटि अमित अवकासा ॥

सारद कोटि अमित चतुराई । बिधि सत कोटि सृष्टि निपुनाई ॥
बिष्नु कोटि सम पालन कर्ता । रुद्र कोटि सत सम संहर्ता ॥

(ŚrīRāmacaritamānasa 7.92.3/5)

Śrī Rāma's body possesses the charm of a myriad Cupids. He is as inexorable in crushing the enemy as countless millions of Durgās. He enjoys the luxury of a myriad Indra-s and is immeasurable in expanse as a myriad firmaments. He is as sharp as countless millions of Saraswatis-s and possesses the creative skill of a myriad Brahmā-s. Again, He is as good a preserver as billions of Vishṇu-s and as thorough a destroyer as billions of Rudra-s.
