This Shri Ram Chandra Kripalu Bhajaman Aarti is dedicated towards Bhagwan Shri Ram, the seventh leela avatar of Krishna (all leela avtars come via the medium of Kshir-udak-shaayi-Vishnu, hence it is usually said that Shri Ram was the avtar of Vishnu). Shri Ram is considered to be the complete and perfect man or the Maryada Purushottama in Hinduism. He is an example of virtue and bravery. This Aarti is the work of the great saint and devotee of Shri Ram, Gosvami Tulsidas.

Tulsidas was born in Rajpur, in the district of Banda in Uttar Pradesh, in Samvat 1589 or 1532 A.D. He was a Sarayuparina Brahmin by birth and is regarded as an incarnation of Valmiki, the author of Ramayana written in Sanskrit. His father’s name was Atmaram Shukla Dube and his mother’s name Hulsi. Tulsidas did not cry at the time of his birth. He was born with all the thirty-two teeth intact. As soon as he was born, he uttered the word "Ram", which is why his childhood name was Ram Bola.

As a youth, while returning from answering the calls of nature, Tulsidas used to throw the water that was left in his water-pot at the roots of a tree which a spirit was occupying. The spirit was very much pleased with Tulsidas. The spirit said, "O man! Get a boon from me". Tulsidas replied, "Let me have Darshan of Lord Rama". The spirit said, "Go to the Hanuman temple. There Hanuman comes in the guise of a leper to hear the Ramayan as the first hearer and leaves the place last of all. Get hold of him. He will help you". Accordingly, Tulsidas met Hanuman, and through His grace, had Darshan or vision of Lord Rama.
