About this hymn

The Ram Dhun “Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram” is among the most loved devotional chants of Shri Ram — simple, repetitive, and steadying for the mind. It is often sung in gatherings, its refrain returning again and again like a tide.

Here it is paired with the Ram Taraka mantra, “Shri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram”. Since Hanuman ji holds the name of Ram forever in his heart, no home for his hymns is complete without it.

Chanted alone or in gatherings, repeated as long as the heart wishes.
