The simplest way to view the effect is to think of it as the opposite of that of the laser.
Lasing occurs when scattered wavelengths of light are converted to coherent light.
Raman Effect is the result of converting specific wavelengths to scattered wavelengths (many different frequencies). It is best observed by using lasers to illuminate a molecule and observing the range of wavelengths that are re-emitted by the sample.

No paradox exists in this phenomena.
