1️⃣ Original Lyrics of Raghupati Raghav focus entirely on Lord Ram & Sita:
“Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Patit Pavan Sitaram…”
It glorifies Ram as the purifier of sinners, the beloved of devotees, and the embodiment of Dharma. Pure Bhakti, no dilution.

2️⃣ Verses like “Sundar Vighnahar Megha Shyam, Ganga Tulsi Shaligram” & “Jaya Jaya Raghav Sitaram” highlight:
Ram’s divine beauty
His connection with sacred rivers & symbols
His eternal victory
This was the true spiritual form of the bhajan.

3️⃣ But during Gandhi’s movement, the lyrics were modified.
The Gandhian version included:
“Eshwar Allah Tero Naam, Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan.”
This was not in the original! It was added to promote communal harmony during Freedom Struggle.

4️⃣ Let’s be clear:
The addition of “Allah” was a political insertion, not a part of Sanatan tradition.
The original bhajan was purely about Lord Ram & Sita.
This fact is often hidden, but it’s important to know our heritage as it truly was.

5️⃣ The question is not about respecting faiths. Hindus always respected all paths.
But altering a sacred Bhajan that was purely devotional into a “political tool” diluted its essence. That’s why many today demand to restore the original version.

6️⃣ The original Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram is not just a bhajan.
It’s a timeless mantra of devotion, sung for centuries, carrying the spiritual vibrations of countless saints.
That divine energy cannot be replaced by political edits.
