Śrī Rām: The source of everything, The most superior, The Parabrahman, The Tarak-Brahman, The Purusha of Vedas, Known as Purushottama in Vedic Texts!!!

This topic is dedicated to clear doubts of people and also for spreading awareness among people. As these days many people have false notion that Śrī Rām is an Incarnation of Lord Krishna which is just opposite to the truth.
People from Gaudiya-Vaishnavism start glorifying lord Krishna by demeaning the most superior lord Śrī Rām, the cause of all cause, the cause of all incarnations of lord Hari including Krishna also. There is nothing wrong in glorifying Lord Krishna but demeaning Shri Ram against the real fact is not good.
I don't take any difference between the most superior lord Shri Ram and lord Krishna. They both are same. In reality, the fact is that Krishna is an incarnation of Lord Shri Ram.
In Ramavtaar, many sages, female companions of Maa Sita, Suvarnmayi Sitaye, female-demons etc became very much fascinated by seeing the all attractive lord Shri Ram. Seeing his divine matchless transcendental beauty of Shri Ram, sages wished to embrace shri Ram in mood of conjugal love. Many female companions of Maa Sita at the time of Marriage of Maa Sita and Shri Ram, they wished to get shri Ram as their own husband. Similarly thousands of Suvarnmayi-Sitaye wished to marry shri Ram. So Shri Ram gave boons to all that he will incarnate himself in Dvapar yuga as Krishna to fulfill their wishes.
From कृष्ण उपनिषद:-
यो रामः कृष्णतामेत्य सार्वात्म्यं प्राप्य लीलया .
अतोषयद्देव्मौनिपटलं तं नतोऽस्म्यहम् ||१||
रामो रामो राम इति प्रजानामभवन् कथाः |
रामभूतं जगाभूद्रामे राज्यं प्रशासति || [VR- 6.128.103]
While Rama ruled the kingdom, the talks of the people centered round Shri Ram, Shri Ram and Shri Ram alone! The world became Shri Ram's world.
This is called 'Sarvaatmaktaa' becoming delight to whole world.

The forest-dwelling sages (of DanDakaaraNya) beholding the all handsome, all attractive Lord Shri Ramchandra who is MahaVishnu himself, who is Satchidaanand Brahman, were bedazzled with surprise! On beholding the transcendental beauty of Śrī Rām they forgot their very own existence.
Then Sages said to Lord Śrī Rām: O' all attractive lord, we are counted in having inferior births (as we have fallen in birth cycles). But we wish to embrace you.
Then Lord Śrī Rām to sages: Let all of you embrace me as Gopikas in (my next incarnation) another KrishNaavataar.
To this sages requested: please don't make us born as Gopa (illiterate, ganvaar) or a Stri??? We will manifest only if you grant us a constant touch of Your divine body there.
Thus After reading it, No doubt remains that it was all attractive Śrī Rām who incarnated himself as Krishna in Dwapar Yuga.
मायातीतं माधवमाद्यं जगदादि मायाधीशं मोहविनाशं मुनिवंद्यम् ।
योगिध्येयं योगविधानं परिपूर्ण वंदे रामं रञ्जितलोकं रमणीयम् ।।2।।
I consistently bow to Śrī Rām, who is beyond the worldly creations, is slayer Madhu-demon, is the beginning of this world, is Lord of Maya, destroys attachment and passion, is reverred by sages, is sought by knowledge-seekers and is the seeking-knowledge as well, is perfect/complete in every way, pleases the world, and is exquisitely beautiful.
त्वं मे नाथो नाथितकार्याखिलकारि मानातीतो माधवरुपोखिलधारी ।
भक्त्या गम्यो भाविरुपो भवहारी योगाभ्यासैर्भाविचेतःसहचारी ।।5।।
O Śrī Rām, You are my Lord, You lead me to towards finish of my deeds, You are beyond measure, You will born as Madhav (Krishna), You possess everything, You are attained by devotion and devotee, You absolve the fear of world among us by your appearance, and You are understood and attained by the practice of Yoga.
वृन्दारण्ये वन्दितवृन्दाकरवृन्दम् वन्दे रामं भवमुखवन्द्यं सुखकन्दम् ।।7।।
O Lord! You are beyond the present, the visible, and the proofs derived from them. [In that case] which worldly creature can try to or completely understand You [or reason You out]? You are without second, without a comparison, and revered unquestionably by the best of philosophers. I bow to Śrī Rām, Who is glorified and worshiped by Lord Shiva, Who is cloud of happiness, and Who will be cow-herd leader Krishna, revered by Gop-Gopis of Vrindavana.
Thus we can see that Krishna is none other than incarnation of the most superior lord Śrī Rām. Adhyatm Ramayana is clearly stating this fact.
I am now going to quote verses from Shri Mad- Valmiki Ramayana which clearly says that Lord Shri Ram is Krishna himself.
When Śrī Rām killed Ravana then Lord Brahma came and did Stuti of Śrī Rām. He eulogized Shri Ram as Krishna, Varaha, Hrishikesa, Vishnu etc.
सहस्रशृङ्गो वेदात्मा शतशीर्षो महर्षभः || [VR- 6.117.18]
O' Lord Śrī Rām, In the form of the Vedas, you are the great Bull with hundred heads (rules) and thousand horns (precepts). You are the first creator of all, the three worlds, and the self constituted Lord of all (स्वयंप्रभुः). You are the refuge and the forbear of Siddhas (a class of demi-gods endowed with mystic powers by virtue of their very birth) and Sadhyas (a class of celestial beings.)".
So the verse 6.117.18 is clearly indicating the Purusha Sukta of Rig Veda. Purusha sukta is the 90th sukta in 10th Mandala, Astaka 8, adyaya 4 of Rigveda, the ancient of all the Vedas. Purusha Sukta is in praise of the Supreme personality of the godhead, the Parambrahman. So here Śrī Rām is eulogized as the Purusha (the supreme personality of godhead, Parambrahman) of Vedas.
*स्वयंप्रभुः : It means there is no cause of Śrī Rām , Śrī Rām is the self-constituted God of all, the cause of all cause, The most superior.
त्वं यज्ञ्स्त्वं वषट्कारस्त्वमोंकारः परात्परः || [VR- 6.117.20]
प्रभवं निधनं वा ते नो विदुः को भवानिति |O' Śrī Rām, You are the sacrificial performance (यज्ञ्स्त्वं, In Rig Veda, Supreme lord Visnu is told as Yajna. यज्ञो वै विष्णु: (ऋगवेद , शतपथ ब्राह्मण 1|1|2|13) ). You are the sacred syllable 'Vashat' (on hearing which the Adhvaryu priest casts the oblation to a deity into the sacrificial fire). You are the mystic syllable 'AUM' (ॐ). You are higher than the highest . People neither know your end nor your origin nor who you are in reality.
*यज्ञो वै विष्णु: (ऋगवेद): अर्थात विष्णु हीं यज्ञ हैं या यज्ञ हीं विष्णु हैं, here Śrī Rām is told as Yajna, the sacrificial performance.
*Śrī Rām is ॐ.
*परात्परः : Śrī Rām is the higher than the highest, most superior. So no one is beyond Śrī Rām. Śrī Rām is even the base of the highest.
If someone is proclaiming that Śrī Rām has origin then that claim will be false. Śrī Rām is higher than the highest, he is origin of all, the cause of all cause.
अक्षरं ब्रह्म सत्यं च मध्ये चान्ते च राघव || [VR- 6.117.14]
लोकानां त्वं परो धर्मो विष्वक्सेनश्चतुर्भजः |O' Rāghava, You are The Parambrahman, the imperishable, the Truth abiding in the middle as well as at the end of the universe. You are the supreme righteousness of people, whose powers go everywhere. You are the four-armed.
In next verse of VR- 6.117.28, Lord Brahma clearly says that Śrī Rām is krishna as same like in Adhyatm Ramayana.
शार्ङ्गधन्वा हृषीकेशः पुरुषः पुरुषोत्तमः || [VR- 6.117.15]
अजितः खड्गधृग्विष्णुः कृष्णश्चैव महाबलः |O' Śrī Rām, You are the wielder of a bow called Sarnga, You are Hrisikesha the lord of the senses, the supreme soul of the universe (पुरुषः /पुरुषोत्तमः), the best of men, the invincible, the wielder of a sword named Nandaka, You are the all-pervader (Visnu), You are lord Krishna (You will incarnate yourself as lord Krishna) and endowed with great might.
*पुरुषोत्तमः : Śrī Rām is Purushottamah, The supreme soul of the universe. As Śrī Rām is known as Purushottam in Vedas and all Vedic texts. Śrī Rām is thus the cause of all cause, no one is beyond him.
*कृष्ण : Śrī Rām is Krishna. Lord Śrī Rām is परात्पर अक्षरं ब्रह्म, the Parambrahman. Krishna is Madhurya Incarnation of Lord Śrī Rām. Here Lord Brahma is eulogizing Śrī Rām that you will incarnate as Krishna .
भवान्नारायणो देवः श्रीमांश्चक्रायुधः प्रभुः || [VR- 6.117.13]
एकशृङ्गो वराहस्त्वं भूतभव्यसपत्नजित् |O' Śrī Rām, You are the Lord Narayana himself the glorious god, who wields the discus. You are the Divine Boar (Varaha) with a single tusk, the conqueror of your past and future enemies.
त्वया लोकास्त्रयः क्रान्ताः पुरा स्वैर्विक्रमैस्त्रिभिः || [VR- 6.117.27]
O' Śrī Rām, the three worlds were occupied by you in your three strides in the past, after binding the exceptionally formidable Bali (the ruler of the three worlds) and Indra was made the king by you.
*The aforementioned verse VR- 6.117.27 says about Vamana incarnation of lord Śrī Rām.
सीता लक्ष्मीर्भवान् विष्णुर्देवः कृष्णः प्रजापतिः || [VR- 6.117.28]
O Śrī Rām, Maa Sītā is no other than Goddess Lakshmi (the divine consort of Lord Vishnu), while You are Lord Visnu. You are Lord Krishna. You are the Lord of created beings. For the destruction of Ravana, you entered a human body here, on this earth.
*Thus in above verses, Brahma has taken the names of almost all major incarnations of Lord Śrī Rām. Thats why Śrī Rām is taken as the original personality of godhead परात्पर ब्रह्म, the origin of all incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
*Śrī Rām is eulogized as all expansions of Visnu like Narayana ( भवान्नारायणो देव ), Sesha ( Sankarshna, त्वं महोरगः ), Hrisikesha ( हृषीकेश ) Upendra (brother of Indra, Son of Aditi त्वमुपेन्द्रो), Rudra (रुद्राणामष्टमो रुद्रः ) etc. So Śrī Rām is source of all expansions of Visnu like Narayana and source of incarnations like Krishna, Varaha, Vamana etc.
*All expansions and incarnations of Śrī Rām chant 'Rām' Naam.
