Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah”
Why ? Who said ?
Lord Sreemannarayana was incarnated as Sree Ramachandra in the Treta Yuga. In the great epic ( Maha Kaavya) of Valmiki’s Sree Ramayana, Kaikeyi asked her two boons to her husband, Sree Dasaradha Chakravarthi, who gave them to her long time ago in the war between Devasura, because she assisted Dasaradha at that time. In the Balakanda ending when she asked him (Dasaradha) the boons , he grieved and got fainted. Because he had great love and affection on Sree Rama. Just knowing the words of Kaikeyi’s boons to Dasaradha, Sree Ramachandra was earnestly prepared for exiling to the forest and to spend there for 14 years. Here Dasaradha Chakravarthi (King) did not inform or say about Kaikeyi’s boons to Sree Rama. ( means Sree Rama should go to the forest for 14 years and Kaikeyi’s own son Bharata has to have the Coronation and become the king of Ayodhya kingdom)
At the time , when Sree Ramachandra was going to forest, his mother, Kausalya said to him “ O my dear Sree Rama, have always chivalrous, law of firm principles, and follow the Dharma (alms) for ever. If you do and follow and protect the Dharma, unquestionably and undoubtedly the same Dharma shelter you and defence you ”. Here mother was the Teacher (Guru) to Sree Rama. For this reason the word “ Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah” came into existence in the scripts and the world . Sree Ramachandra is also well known as
"Raamo Vigrahavan Dharmah".
