Lakshmana, an avatar of Sesha Nag, was the brother of Sri
Ram and his constant companion. Laksham means ‘goal’ and Ann means ‘to pierce
through’. Symbolically the meaning of
Lakshmana is a person who attains his goal.
To attain the goal a person should have strong investigative
mind and commonsense.
The character of Lakshmana in Ramayana is more practical and
rational. This attitude comes to the help of Sri Ram on many occasions in the
Ramayana.
