Talk and film screening by Benoy K. Behl on 26 March at 1330 hrs: “The Divine Search: Baul Singers of Bengal”

Posted on: March 21, 2022 | Back | Print

Embassy of India in Ljubljana under Amrit Mahotsav presents an online event where Benoy K. Behl, India Habitat Centre, will hold a talk followed by film screening ‘Baul Singers of Bengal’ on Saturday, 26 March 2022 at 1330 hrs (Central European Time) or 1800 hrs (Indian Standard Time).

Fortunately, in the midst of our fast-changing and commercializing world, amazing pockets of traditional Indian thought and culture still survive. The Bauls of Bengal are among those who continue a very old legacy.

The word Baul probably comes from the Sanskrit viyakul meaning impatiently eager. Some consider them to be insane, in a divinely inspired way. Indeed they are far from the sanity of the materialistic and mundane world. They are ecstatically impatient to lose themselves. To lose their own identities, to see themselves as a part of the greater one. That one which is also within. 

You are cordially invited to attend the event. No registration or payment is required.
