Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram (sometimes called Ram Dhun) is a popular bhajan (Hindu devotional song) that was a favourite of Mahatma Gandhi.[1] These lyrics were taken from original hindu text "Shri Nama Ramayanam" written by Lakshmanacharya.
Original lyrics:
रघुपति राघव राजाराम
पतित पावन सीताराम
सुंदर विग्रह मेघश्याम
गंगा तुलसी शालग्राम
भद्रगिरीश्वर सीताराम
भगत-जनप्रिय सीताराम
जानकीरमणा सीताराम
जयजय राघव सीताराम
Transliteration
Raghupati raghava rajaram
Patita paavana sitaram
Sundara vigraha meghashyam
Ganga tulasi salagram
Bhadra girishwara sitaram
Bhagat janapriya sitaram
Janaki ramana sitaram
Jaya jaya raghava sitaram
