About the Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram

This Ram Dhun is traditionally credited to Shri Lakshmanacharya and is sung in Ram kirtans everywhere. Mahatma Gandhi adapted it as a prayer for unity, adding Ishwar Allah Tero Naam, and it was sung by the marchers on the Dandi Salt March of 1930. Both forms are given here.
