My inclination towards business has always been the highest,beside studying International Marketing and Trade Sometimes makes me feel that can “Maslows Theory of Motivation Applicable for me as well!!!!!đ¤đ¤¨

Also the famous Bollywood Sufi song,”kun faya kun” Arabic Word which means “to be” or “to exist” all relates to the eternal self or ones divine truth!!!
If one reaches discovers ones innates Truth?Dont you think the Supreme eternal power lies within oneself?
In retrospect in my mind thought of the days when i used to listen to Baul …….
The Bengali Baul or Bengali Sufism or Bengali Folk follows the same dictum is also considered as a medium of reaching to ones hidden supreme self. The famous poet Lalan Fakir(āϞāĻžāϞāύ āĻĢāĻāĻŋāϰ) in his very famous poem and also the most famous baul saints of ages “Amar Barir Kache Arshinagar” which predominantly talks about that “God lies within us and not outside”therefore discovering ones supreme self or divine truth nears us to the Supreme Power on this planet.

The the songs preached by my guru helps him the overcome the hardships and trials and tribulation of his life.He says how it was difficult for them to survive in the initial stages of their life where the support from the government and people were minimalistic and being a saint and messengers of god they have to eradicate the basic pleasures of life which a common man enjoys….Through the lyrics of Baul they uplifted their morale and learnt the art of survival from a very tender age.
Instrument Description: Ektara it is the one stringed musical instrument used in the traditional music.The ektara is a drone lute consisting of a gourd resonator covered with skin through which a bamboo neck is inserted and Dotara means two string.

Besides the lesson of motivations he also preached about the ‘ Sheer Art of love’ or ‘Love in the Highest Form’- under the realm of Baul – love is very Aesthetic and Pure .He sighted examples of love of Radha krishnaâ¤đđ from the Indian Mythology which deliberately deals with the sanctity of love which is righteous connecting the souls without connecting the bodies.

Lastly I was fortunate enough to discover that my domain name is also inspired by baul āĻŦāĻžāĻāϞ “ekla bolo re and “ekla cholo re”beside being Rabindranath Tagores creation.In fact some of the songs of Tagores āϰāĻŦā§āύā§āĻĻā§āϰāϏāĻā§āĻā§āϤ is popularly inspired from Baul ideology and thinkers like Purnodas Baul ,Lalan Fakir and Noboni Das Baul.
