Hey people.
I haven't shared a huge treasure of beautiful things that I cherish on Social Networks. But this place somehow makes me open up. So here you go.
This is a Baul.
"Kichhu din mone mone ghorer kone
Shyamer peerit raakh gopone
Kichhu din mone mone"
The Bauls are mystics. The Bauls are seekers. The Bauls are wanderers. The Bauls are storytellers. The Bauls are musicians. The Bauls are messengers.
Yes. Baul is both the art and the artist. Originated from Bengal (parts of India and Bangladesh), these people who rejected the idea of an established religion which has its hierarchies, traditions, rituals and dogmas, they sought the divine through music, through madness and through being lost in the art.
