message: "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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  Spelling? 

message: "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.

message: 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. Why Hindus have to carry Every distortion? Can't he add Mahadev or Lord Vishnu's name in Quran? Why Wikipedia is uploading the distorted version rather than the original one?

thread_title:  Distortion of Originality 

message: The Raghupati bhajan is an excerpt from “Shri Nama Ramayanam” written by Lakshmanacharya. Gandhi later modified and composed it in view of achieving reconciliation between different communities. The line “Ishwar Allah Tero Naam, Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan” was added by Gandhi to the bhajan as part of this modification.
इस प्रसिद्ध-भजन का नाम है "राम-धुन"
'श्रीराम को सुमिरन' करने के इस भजन को जिन्होंने बनाया था उनका नाम था लक्ष्मणाचार्य
ये भजन "श्री नमः रामनायनम" नामक हिन्दू-ग्रन्थ से लिया गया है।
जो कि बेहद लोकप्रिय भजन था. गाँधी ने इसमें परिवर्तन करते हुए अल्लाह शब्द जोड़ दिया..
गाँधीजी द्वारा किया गया परिवर्तन और असली भजन!
गाँधीजी का भजन
रघुपति राघव राजाराम,
पतित पावन सीताराम
सीताराम सीताराम,
भज प्यारे तू सीताराम
ईश्वर अल्लाह तेरो नाम,
सब को सन्मति दे भगवान...
असली राम धुन भजन...

sabko sanmati de bhagwan.
