About This Song
About "Roghupati Raghava" by Allen Ginsberg
Ginsberg's incantatory cadence meets a devotional refrain, stretching the name Raghupati Raghava into a hypnotic, harmonium-drenched mantra. The song trembles between ecstatic surrender and the poet's restless intellect, a prayer that feels both ancient and urgently beatnik, like incense curling through a crowded loft.
