[Oe List ...] Gandhi and Non-violence

[svesjaime at aol.com]

My sixth grade Social Studies class watches both Gandhi and Chariots of Fire in the course of a year.  They also learn the Raghupati and the Courage to Care (revised version) songs.  Can anyone point me to where I can access the Raghupati song?

Thanks Nancy for those words

I remember that 
Mandir masjid tere dhaaam, 

translates roughly

A temple or a mosque may be your home

Richard

My understanding of the song is that it repeats many names for God over & over, giving praise & asking blessings in many lyrical ways.  The part that I imagine appealing so much to Gandhi are these lines:
 
Ishwar, Allah, Tere Naam  ( meaning Ishwar or Allah - both are your names )
 
Mandir, Masjid, Tere Dhaam (meaning Temple or Mosque - both are your homes )
 
Here's a little translation from the web --
 
    Raghupati Raghav Rajaram 
    Patit Paavana Sitaram
    Ishwar Allah Tere Naam 
    Sabko sanmati de Bhagwan

English:
Rama, the Lord of heavens
Blessed is thy name 
Some of us call you as Shiva and some others as Allah
But we beg you Lord that you bless us all

Larry,

 

I'm frustrated by my inability to communicate what I'm trying to find. It has been easy getting the words as we pronounce them.  The words were in the Global Council songbook once I spelled the title correctly (as my wife easily pointed out) wives do that as you know) What I would really like to find out is the meaning of the words in the song and what it means to Indians.  Thanks for your help.
