Baul Sangit
Author: Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Year: 1893
Language: Bengali
Baul Sangit is a songbook written by Bhaktivinoda Thakura. He writes
twelve songs to preach to the Baul sect in Bengal.
The Bauls (lit. “madmen”) would
follow illicit principles even though they would chant the songs of Krsna and Lord Caitanya. Their
core philosophy also differs with that of Lord Caitanya’s.
The songs are written in the Baul style urging them
to change their ways to be pure at heart and worship Krsna.
Bhaktivinoda Thakura signs
his name as “Chand Baul” in
these songs.
