Ram Tu Sab Ka Rakhwala

Sung by the legendary Mohammed Rafi, “Ram Tu Sab Ka Rakhwala” is a soothing song from 1966-film Chhota Bhai. Anand Bakshi has penned down heart-touching lyrics while the music is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The film, a quintessential tear-jerker shows an old man with a kid braving heavy rain as they pin their hope on Shree Rama to help them through the tough situation.

Mere Ram Kahan Ho Tum

Another beautiful song by Mohammed Rafi is “Mere Ram Kahan Ho Tum” from 1957 film, Pawan Putra Hanuman. Rafi Saab is joined in by Sudha Malhotra as they narrate the tale of Shree Rama and Sita Mata after demon king Ravana abducts and locks her away in the Ashoka Vatika. In this song, Rama and Sita are professing their love for each other. They are far away from each other and long to be together.

Mangal Bhavan

You may not remember the movie or its cast, but the song “Mangal Bhavan” and its lyrics from 1977-film Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Man Bhaye is etched in our memories. Check out the lyrics of this Hemlata-sung melodious devotional song - मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी, द्रबहु सुदसरथ अचर बिहारी, राम सिया राम सिया राम, जय जय राम - २!

Mohe Ram Nam Dhun Laagi

Yet another yesteryear musical gem that is a must-hear on the occasion of Rama Navami is “Mohe Ram Nam Dhun Laagi.” The song was a part of 1948-film, Jai Hanuman starring Nirupa Roy. “Mohe Ram Nam Dhun Laagi” is sung by Geeta Dutt.

Yahi Raho Ramji

A peppy track “Yahi Raho Ramji” by Asha Bhosle and Usha Mangeshkar is about Rama bhakts requesting him to not go on a Vanvas (exile). We hear a lot of sweet-sounding tracks but this one from 1965-film Shree Ram Bharat Milan is a lively yet devotional song that will lift your spirits.

Sampurna Ramayan - Ravindra Jain

Associated with umpteen devotional songs on Rama, Ravindra Jain is the first name that comes to one’s mind when speaking of Rama bhakti geet. The Indian music composer, lyricist, and playback singer has produced several musical gems, one of them being Sampurna Ramayan. You must listen to this album on Rama Navami.

On this holy occasion of Rama Navami, we wish blessings of Shree Ram be with you and your family. Your heart and home be filled with happiness, peace and prosperity. From LatestLY, we wish everyone a very Happy Ram Navami 2019.
