Talk:Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram

September 2006

who wrote the song Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.200.28.150 (talk • contribs) 09:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

The original lyrics of Raghupati Raghava Rajaaram are attributed to Sri Lakshamanacharya Uksrik (talk) 07:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

A: Usually it is ascribed as "traditional" next to a song. This means the first person to come up with it and use it has been lost, many times in india (especially vedas and upanishads) the author did not sign a name, feeling that it was the divine speaking through him. If you really want to know who came up with it chant it and see what happens! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.110.72 (talk • contribs) 01:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Spelling?

"Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram" or "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram"? This article is spelled without the additional 'a', but I notice the second version, with "Rahgava", more frequently.  priyanath talk 20:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, the two articles have been merged. Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram moved (i.e. renamed), and Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram redirected (and one tidbit from there added to the merged article.) rudra (talk) 03:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It will be Raghav. Raghava - राघवः But it is Raghav - राधव

For Example Shiva - शिवः

Lyrics (translation)

"Patit Paavan SitaRam" has been translated as "Uplifters of those who have fallen, (O divine couple) Sita and Rama". I dont think "SitaRam" refers to Sita and Rama separately. Rather, it is a descriptive name for Ram (Rama, who is married to Sita, or who is of Sita). You will find men in India named Sitaram. Similarly Radhakrishna (Krishna, who belongs to Radha) or other forms of Ram such as KodandaRam (Rama, the wielder of the Kodanda bow) or Raghuram (Rama, from the Raghu race or dynasty). Therefore, I feel the above line should be translated as "Uplifter of those who have fallen, Rama (who belongs to Sita)". It is important to note that Hindu male gods were described by the women (or godesses) they were married to or had affairs with (as in the case of Radha and Krishna), which gives a sense of the importance given to women in Indian society when these descriptions were first created. Similarly, Hanuman is called Anjaneya (son of his mother Anjana), whereas in modern India, you are identified as your father's son and not your mother's son or wife's husband.

Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram Shaamar Rathod (talk) 18:36, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

"Original" lyrics

The hymn that regularly featured in Gandhiji’s prayer meetings was Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram, sometimes called Ram Dhun, and its lyrics were taken from Shri Nama Ramayanam written by Lakshmanacharya and modified by Gandhiji.

The original lines went:

रघुपति राघव राजाराम

पतित पावन सीताराम

सुंदर विग्रह मेघश्याम

गंगा तुलसी शालीग्राम

भद्रगिरीश्वर सीताराम

भगत-जनप्रिय सीताराम

जानकीरमणा सीताराम

जयजय राघव सीताराम

English Translation

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

Gandhiji’s version, which he and his fellow satyagrahis chanted during the Dandi March of 1930 runs:

Raghupati raghava rajaram,

Patita paavana sitaram,

bhaj pyaare tu sitaram

Ishwar allah tero naam,

sabko sanmati de bhagwan.

Sourcing

Please follow WP:HISTRS and avoid original research. TrangaBellam (talk) 19:49, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

@TrangaBellam: which portion in my edits was "original research"? Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 15:52, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

The uncited claims of an origin from Ramcharitmanas, for one. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Why shouldn't it be mentioned that Tulsidas is regarded by many to be the original author?

Vishwambhar Dayal Awasthi writes that Tulsidas chanted "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram". Loka-Rāmāyaṇa— a collection of folk songs based on the Ramcharitmanas— compiled by folk musician Bindhyabasini Devi, also includes this song.

Sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~

Awasthi was not a companion of Tulsidas; so, I need to know his sources.

Devi came across a folk-song —similar to RRRJ— that was (supposedly) based on Ramcharitmanas. Is that your claim? How does that make Tulsidas the author of RRRJ? TrangaBellam (talk) 14:15, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Vishwambhar Dayal Awasthi writes that Tulsidas chanted "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram". Folk tradition says that the song has origins in Ramcharitmanas, which was also written by Tulsidas. Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 14:20, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Why are you repeating the same arguments? Devi's groundwork was a time when RRRJ has been already ingrained into the Indian psyche - how did she prove it to be a true folk tradition than recent interpolation?

Email me the precise pages of Devi. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

I would guess it's because of similarity in literary style. For example, Tulsidas has referred to Ram as Patit Pawan in his compositions.

It's there in the references, but here's a link of the book in Google Books— https://books.google.co.in/books?newbks=0&redir_esc=y&id=F45jAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%98%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF+%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%98%E0%A4%B5+%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%BE+%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AE+%22 Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 14:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Do not break comments by others.

If such is the case, the first line might have been borrowed from Tulsidas' epic directly (or indirectly). What about the rest of the song? I will be glad to know the part. work in which this phrase (Patit Pawan) appears.

I tried using multiple VPNs but Google is always showing a snippet view. I will check if my library has a copy or borrow from ILL. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:47, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

This is from Ramcharitmanas—

पाई न केहिं गति पतित पावन राम भजि सुनु सठ मना ।
गनिका अजामिल ब्याध गीध गजादि खल तारे घना ।।
आभीर जमन किरात खस स्वपचादि अति अघरूप जे ।
कहि नाम बारक तेपि पावन होहिं राम नमामि ते ।।1।।

the first line might have been borrowed from Tulsidas' epic directly (or indirectly). What about the rest of the song?

It's possible that the song was inspired from Tulsidas' works. —Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 18:53, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the quote - I got it verified, as well.

I plan to add a footnote about this connection but before that, need to be certain about this particular phrasing (Patit Pawan Ram) being unique to Ramcharitmanas. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

This (examining medieval poetry for clues) looks like WP:OR to me. You need to find a reliable secondary source that comments on the the origins of this hymn or song (not sure what exactly it is) and not attempt to draw your own conclusions. --RegentsPark (comment) 20:32, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

There are weak sources claiming a connection - otherwise, I won't have probed into it. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:39, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Imo, we'll need strong sourcing for this. Relying on obscure sources for something as defining of Gandhi as this song seems odd. --RegentsPark (comment) 21:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Poet

Who was this 17th c. Vaishnava poet "Shri Lakshmanacharya" — where can I read more about him? TrangaBellam (talk) 19:55, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

I won't be surprised if he is a creation of Wikipedia. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:44, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

@TrangaBellam:, did you revert my edits without even going through the references? Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 15:51, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

WP:HISTRS: peer-reviewed work by scholars. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

@TrangaBellam: Well, I guess it's probably an agenda of Vishva Hindu Parishad? It was mainly bought into attention by Subramanian Swamy, see this. However, I'm not sure either since I cannot find any reference in mainstream scholarships, negating social media propaganda. Maybe we'll have to do some research (or they should provide some reliable references). —Wiki Linuz ( 💬 ) 00:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

WikiLinuz, thanks, I did not know that. Quite weirdly, the replies are filled with something about an exam. I tried digging into primary sources but there is a total lack of information on this 17th c. Vaishnava saint. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:41, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

@Roman Reigns Fanboy: apart from the news sources that I had included (and you removed) there's no reliable source that says that a version of Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram is present in the Nama Ramayana (see Original lyrics section above) which was written by a 17th century poet named Lakshmanacharya. If you do know of any source, please cite it in the article.

—Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 18:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

There is apparently a Dictionary of South Indian Musicians by Prof. Pichu Sambamoorthi that has similar lyrics. I'll examine it soon. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 01:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

@Borgawker: I've added that a version of the bhajan was "supposedly" taken from Nama Ramayana by Lakshmanacharya, because there are no historical sources about that (also see Original lyrics section above).

It was first written by Shree Lakshmanacharya. It showed the divinity of Prabhu Shree Ram. But Gandhi, who was a mere politician, distorted it & added "Allah" to it.

Devnagri

These verses of Raghupati Raghav Rajaram were written by Lakshmanacharya:

 रघुपति राघव राजाराम
पतित पावन सीताराम ॥
सुंदर विग्रह मेघश्याम
गंगा तुलसी शालग्राम ॥
भद्रगिरीश्वर सीताराम
भगत-जनप्रिय सीताराम ॥
जानकीरमणा सीताराम
जयजय राघव सीताराम ॥
रघुपति राघव राजाराम
पतित पावन सीताराम ॥
रघुपति राघव राजाराम पतित पावन सीताराम ॥
- लक्ष्मणाचार्य
