Shree Ram: The Absolute Consciousness

In Ramchritramanas, it is clearly stated that Lord Ram was not the incarnation of Shree Vishnu. Rather He was the incarnation of the Absolute Brahman also known as the Cosmic Consciousness or Vasudev who is beyond the tridevas.

There is a story in the beginning of Manas that Kashyap and Aditi worshipped the Absolute Brahman by reciting Dasakshari Mantra. When both of them were meditating the Sat Chit Anand Brahman, many a time, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh came to break their meditation but they remained firm. Finally, the Orange light emerged from the Sky and the Nirakar Brahman took the form of Sham faced prince holding Cross and Bow in His hands. He asked them for a boon and they requested Him with reverence to get a Son like Him. The Lord smiled and replied that there is no one like Him in the whole cosmos not even the Trimurti. So He Himself will be born as their Son in Tretayuga and they will be reborn as Dashrath and Kaushalya.

Also He gave the boon to Kashyap Rishi that He will never forget His Gyan in any birth.
