Vishnu Digambar Paluskar
"It is stated that he would adopt the song of Vishnu Digambar 'Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram' for the concluding chorus as a mark of respect to its author. Gandhiji's heart was in that song. Kittappa would recount any that he heard once. Eka santha grahi."
"Paluskar came in contact with leaders of the Indian independence movement like Lala Lajpat Rai, Lokmanya Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi. When Lala Lajpat Rai was arrested in 1907 he sang a composition of the famous song Pagree Sambhal Jatta. He used to attend the conventions of the Indian National Congress and sing his own composition of Vande Mataram, the national song of India, in Raga Kafi. Paluskar was a master of taking old religious songs and setting them into classical tunes. Paluskar composed the tune of the devotional song Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram. This was Mahatma Gandhi's favourite Bhajan and was sung daily by the satyagrahis during the famous Dandi March. He also composed a variation of the patriotic song Saare Jahan Se Achcha. Such was his fame that when King George V came to India, Paluskar was asked to perform at the Royal Garden of Lahore."
