Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram is a popular Hindi bhajan that was a favorite of Mahatma Gandhi. The version that is most common was put to music by Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, and was sung by Gandhi and his followers as they walked during the 241 mile Salt March to Dandi. Here is a beautiful rendering of this Bhajan.
The lyrics of this popular bhajan is given hereunder, with brilliant translation by none other than our respected moderator Sri P R Ramachander.
