Song of Rama: A Favorite Poem of Gandhi

Original	Translation
Raghupati Raghav Rajaram Patit Paavana Sitaram Sitaram Jai Sitaram Bhaj pyare tu Sitaram Raghupati Raghav.......... Ishwar Allah Tere Naam Sabko sanmati de Bhagwan Raghupati Raghav........	Rama, the Lord of heavens Blessed is thy name Victory to you Ram the husband of Sita Oh so lovable, joyous  it is to worship thee... Some of us call you as Shiva and some others as Allah but we beg you Lord that you bless us all...

 

Editor's Note: 

When Gandhi was assassinated by the bullets of a Hindu fanatic, he uttered, "Hey Ram!" and then breathed his last. So, in more ways than one, till Gandhi died, he served and glorified the divine force.
