About Sita Rama Tattva
This song carries no attributed author in the database, and no bhanita or signature line appears anywhere in its four verses to identify one. It reads instead as a composite of two well-known traditional Rama-bhajans still sung across North Indian devotional gatherings today, the couplet "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram, patita pavana Sita Ram" and the celebrated Rama-taraka mantra "Sri Rama, jaya Rama, jaya jaya Rama." Both are folk devotional compositions of uncertain original authorship, popularized in the twentieth century partly through their use at Mahatma Gandhi's prayer meetings, rather than works attributable to a single classical Vaishnava padakarta.
