Gandhi’s version, which was mainstreamed by him and his supporters during the Dandi march and later during his prayer meetings, runs: Here’s a video composition of the original Hindu bhajan:. Another myth that became popular with the growing popularity of the hymn was that it is a patriotic song aimed to project a secular composite image of the Indian society however, original composition as it was sometimes referred to as Ram Dhun, could be best described as an ode glorifying and praising Lord Ram. The lyrics were taken from Shri Nama Ramayanan, an old religious text penned by Sri Lakshmanacharya, and modified by Gandhi. However, contrary to the popular imagination, Gandhi was not the creator of the hymn. It was during this movement that Gandhi popularised the use of “Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram” as the marchers sang to keep their spirits up. The bhajan was first used by Gandhi during his 241 miles march to Dandi during the Dandi March in 1930 to oppose a new law that the British enacted to restrict Indians from producing or selling salt. One of the hymns that became a common feature in Gandhi’s prayer meetings was “Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram”. Gandhi tampered with the lyrics of a Hindu religious bhajan to appease Muslims During these meetings, Gandhi encouraged community singing of popular bhajans and religious hymns and discussed at length their lyrics and content. Among other things, he experimented with the organisation of daily prayer meetings aimed at achieving reconciliation between different communities, most notably Hindus and Muslims. He later returned to India and joined the country’s independence struggle against the oppressive British rule. Gandhi completed his education from England and from there went to South Africa to practice law.
