Ram Raksha Stotra is a Sanskrit stotra, hymn of praise, used as a prayer for protection to the king of Ayodhya Lord Rama; it was written by a saint Budha Kaushika during the Vedic period. Literal meaning of Ram Raksha means 'Protection given by Lord Rama (to us)'. One who sincerely recites it and understands its meaning, he receives faith that Lord Rama protects his mind & prepares it to know the Ultimate Truth. It is said that Lord Shiva came into Saint Budha Kaushika's dream and sung these 38 stanzas.

In Hindu astrology chanting of the stotra is recommended as a remedial measure for obstacles, enmity, losses and all malefics.
