Raghupati Raghav Rajaram – The Original Lyrics

The original lyrics of Raghupati Raghava Rajaaram are attributed to Sri Lakshamanacharya ; This Ram Dhun was later edited and popularised by Sri M.K.Gandhi; This was widely attributed to his attempts to bring about reconciliation but it is anybody’s guess how many Muslims would have actually sung this. Compare this with the confusion that it brought about in the minds of Hindus.

  1. Cunningest politician the world has ever produced was MKG. He cared pretty much about his legacy and totally disregarded the country. He side lined many ptriotic people like Bose and Arobindo, who had to flee the British, while Gandhi enjoyed patronage of British.

  2. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a cheater. Even we can say, he was big fraud.

    1. He was the most racist, anti-semitic fraud created by the British.

  3. Raghupati Raghava Rajaaram
    Here comes Ravan again disguised as Alla.
    Destruction/loot/rape conversions turned Ganga red.
    Raghupati Raghava Rajaaram, Truth is buried and Alla reigns.
    Raghupati Raghava Rajaaram, this is kalyug and people forgot Ram and worship Alla-van.

    what spiritual background gandhi was having. being a vysya they used to sell and buy goods. by virtue of profession, they are at highter strata. they know nothing about sanaathan. what gandhi did was a big bullshit. not excusable .

  5. A great personality the world reckons.
    An angel of God.
    Intelligence dominates so human dominates all creatures.

    His memorials in other nations is countless almost around 1000 in many shapes.

    He was not on prez or any office bearer but blamed by few innocents.
    His force was his followers the largest only he had.
    British was taking care of him apprehending paralysing of governance.

    All are human , the stringer should help the weaker to grow , that’s a father’s duty in a family too the weaker son is taken care of more by parents. Like father once wins the case for own land the children starts the fighting India under British got into same phase when father was being ignored.

    This ideology is the real truth but the propaganda making some to disagree & agreeing for divisions but not aware that divisions got no end, it’s first by religion then caste then regions then language then practices etc etc.

    All foreign delegates visited his cremation ground.
    If MKG would have awarded a noble he would not a special personality as one among thousands noble laureates but he was deserving but God made him one & only one personality which can’t be matched with others ever. He has a very special place among all.

    Salute to the great soul.

      According to a new biography by Joseph Lelyveld, the love of Mahatma Gandhi’s life was a German-Jewish bodybuilder named Hermann Kallenbach. “Your portrait (the only one) stands on my mantelpiece in my bedroom,” Gandhi wrote to Kallenbach. “The mantelpiece is opposite to the bed.”

    2. What are you talking about? They are removing Gandhi statues in Ghana because he was so racist. Be a little more informed.

  6. Some would say, Gandhi was the worst thing that happened to India. And that probably would include foreign loot, oppression, colonialism, and invasion.

    Gandhi was a coward man from islamik people and country. But now its time to back our hindu culture and religion.

    1. The British if at all was afraid of any one that’s MKG, reason is the largest followers his humanitarian ideologies.

      British was well aware that if Gandhi will be finished the country’s governance will be paralysed.

      1. MKG was used as a Steering Wheel by the British, in Chemistry its called Catalyst. This is an ancient administrative method – if you want to control a mass, make a prophet out of that mass and through him steer the mass sentiment & thus the movement. Behind the scenes it was NSCB who was giving the British sleepless nights. 🙂

      Shame on a people like him for changing the hindu mantra.. I mean who the h*ll you are to do it.. Just to make a secular state ..? changing the a whole devotional mantra.. Glad people are educated enough to find it out.

  8. It is sad to see even Bharat Ratna legends like MS Subbulakshmi sing the Gandhian version of the song and not the original bhajan.

      Right… Sir

    2. Level of Gandhi was so is so will be so .
      So all foreign delegates visit Rajghat.

      Got 1001 memorials in all nations besides India.
      Every year it’s growing ,last one a bust of MKG was unveiled by PM in japan

  9. Gandhi wanted reconciliation between the two communities. But basically he wanted only Hindus to change. That’s why he distorted horribly the lyrics of an age old beautiful bhajan. Hindus simply accepted what he did and have been praising him as the champion of communal harmony ever since ! He did not dare change any verses from either Quran or haddiths. Imagine what would have happened if he had done anything like that ! Nupur Sharma repeated what is written in Haddith word by word. She did not add or delete or misinterpret anything. But she is being crucified for that , including the supreme court !

  10. mr gandhi has ditorted this beautifull bhajan by adding other words like allah etc

  11. Log Kahate Hain ki yah Gandhi ne likha hai per asali Mein nahi hi ise Kisi Aur Ne likha tha Hindu ke ke bhajan ko Allah Ishwar Chhod Diya yah galat hai likha Kisi Aur ne aur Naam Kisi Aur Ka Laga Gandhi ka Sach pata chal Gaya Hai Pahle aapka dhanyvad

      Yes, Gandhi is anti Hindu. He manipulated the song.

  12. Really appreciate this.

  13. Sanatani have to understand the real lyrics or the bhajan instead of fake or propaganda wala lyrics

  14. Most stupidest of sadist gandhi, because of his political ideology he betrayed the Hindus.
    That is one of the reasons why Hindus in India is suffering and demanding for religious rights..
    Hindus are being discriminated in India by minorities.

    Hell with what that half-naked-fakir had in mind, what he did is the biggest blunder. Even after twisting that popular spiritual song, he was not able to stop Hyderabad turning predator. Nor did he manage to stop King of Junagadh to express his thoughts of getting merged with Pakistan. He could not stop bloody Jinna to form the bloody hell Islamic country.
    Had there been social media like what we have today, he would have been killed much earlier than when godse killed him.

  18. Thanks a lot…the orignal lyrics is the one that should be in Hindus mind

  19. Thankyou I was searching this.

  20. […] Hindu bhajans were modified. ‘Raghupati Raghava Rajaram – Patita Pavan Sitaram’ saw ‘Isvar Allah Tere Naam’ added to […]

  21. This is not original song.

  22. Gandhi was staunch pro-Muslim and befooled Hindus at every step. For Muslims anybody not believing in Allah is a kafir and deserves to be beheaded.

  23. Please see the bhajan raghupati raghav rajaram original lyrics and then you will come to know how that mohandas karamchand gandhi distorted it to make it secular

  24. Totally shocked to see how the words had been twisted by Gandhi …. Indeed Hindus are a naive lot ! Thanks very much for sharing this valuable information.

  25. I am indeed shocked to see how the original had been completely twisted by Gandhi … Thanks a ton for publishing this !

  26. kindly publish the translation for the original lyrics too…i tried looking up and didn’t find it anywhere. Thanks.

      1. thanks for the sharing people must understood the original sanathan lyrics.

  27. Kindly provide explanation/translation of the original lyrics too. Thanks.

  28. Did Gandhiji changed the lyrics for Hindus or Muslims or both? I do not know if any Muslim singing this popular song.

    1. Gandhiji probably believed that Muslims would sing it 🙂 ; They didn’t but the naivety of Hindus made them believe what Gandhiji believed in ..

  29. Gandhi completely bowdlerised this beautiful set of lyrics.

    Try as much as I might even proper Ram Bhajan tracks have this polluted and damaged lyrics which it was never meant to be.

    I hate this and do not want to hear the false lyrics.

  30. No one has any right to change original writer script.

    THE ORIGINAL LYRICS RAMA DHUN – GANDHIJI & DHARMA

    Gandhiji changed the lyrics to equate Ishvara & Allaa and to ask for divine support for both.

    This was done in good faith, in an attempt to draw Muslims into a civilisational unity. It may have succeeded with small sections and to that extent, may have contributed to unity. The formation of Pakistan showed its limitations.

    Moreover, his effort unilaterally disarmed a whole nation that swore by the indic beliefs of samsāra, karma & moksa, which is the foundation of Hinduness, and paved the way for the horrors of partition.

    Mere good faith, however noble its roots, cannot integrate sections that are deeply sworn to separatism, to the point of becoming contentious. It is also a wonder how a belief system that led to the destruction of Ishwara’s temple at Somnath, seventeen times over several centuries, could be convinced to accept the equivalence of Ishvara & Allaa.

    However the dhārmic roots of Gandhiji’s attempt cannot be denied. It is clear that the people wedded to Hinduness also called Hindutva have a world mission which must be based upon a national rejuvenation and revival.

    Gandhiji as well as Rabindranath Tagore sought to establish a seamless confirmity between the two. This was an error born of Cartesian logic. Sri Aurobindo adopted a more dialectical approach to the problem of integrating India’s national revival with its world mission.

    The problem of a tension between means and the end has not yet been demonstrably solved in Bhārat and India. Only time will speak for the Divine Will and Way.
