रामचंद्र कृपालु भजमन
Tulsidas's Magnificent Stuti — Full Lyrics in Hindi
Ramchandra Kripalu Bhajman (रामचंद्र कृपालु भजमन) is one of the most beautiful and popular Ram Stutis composed by the great saint-poet Goswami Tulsidas. This magnificent prayer beautifully describes Lord Ram's divine form — his lotus eyes, his compassionate nature, and his divine glory. It is sung in almost every Ram devotee's home.
रामचंद्र कृपालु भजमन हरण भवभय दारुणम्। नव कंज लोचन कंज मुखकर कंज पद कंजारुणम्॥
कंदर्प अगणित अमित छवि नव नील नीरद सुंदरम्। पट पीत मानहुं तड़ित रुचि शुचि नौमि जनक सुतावरम्॥
भजु दीन बंधु दिनेश दानव दैत्य वंश निकंदनम्। रघुनंद आनंदकंद कौशलचंद दशरथ नंदनम्॥
शिर मुकुट कुंडल तिलक चारु उदार अंग विभूषणम्। आजानु भुज शर चाप धर संग्राम जित खरदूषणम्॥
इति वदति तुलसीदास शंकर शेष मुनि मन रंजनम्। मम हृदय कंज निवास कुरु कामादि खलदल गंजनम्॥
Ramchandra Kripalu Bhajman was composed by Goswami Tulsidas — the great 16th-century saint who also wrote Ramcharitmanas, Hanuman Chalisa, and Vinay Patrika. Tulsidas was the greatest Ram devotee.
'Ramchandra Kripalu' means 'O merciful Moon-like Rama' — 'Chandra' means moon (representing coolness and beauty) and 'Kripalu' means merciful/compassionate. The entire stuti describes Ram's beautiful divine form.
This stuti is sung at Ram temples, during Ram Navami celebrations, in the morning prayer sessions, and during Ramayan path. It is one of the most popular bhajans at ISKCON and other devotional gatherings.
