The song “Moru Te Elen Mohammad” expresses the idea that the path to enlightenment is not limited to any one religion or faith. It draws similarities between the Gods of Hinduism and Islam and how they preached love in the same way, though miles and millennia apart. Written by Sri Anukul Chandra, it is deemed as an important song, encouraging religious harmony.
Lyrics: Sri Anukul Chandra Singer: Basudeb Das Baul Dotara: Basudeb Das Baul Dubki: Suvamoy Das Baul Percussion: Anil Hazra Location: Shyambati Ashram, Bolpur Produced by: FILM STOP Recorded & Mixed by: Sujoy Das Edited by: Sukanya Bhawal Bauls are a group of wandering mystical minstrels of Bengal. This community started with the largest Cultural Revolution in the history of human civilization, the Bhakti Movement led by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Their syncretic traditions are the outcome of a culmination of Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. Baul Music and Philosophy are deeply intertwined, with the Music serving as a medium for expressing and exploring our inner-self and the world around us, in search of the Divine. They also emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and tolerance, and reject distinctions based on caste, religion, or social status. Duality is a common theme in Baul song lyrics, with allegorical narratives using metaphors. ‘Deho-tatva’ – a recurring premise in Baul lyrics – is a concept of portraying nature and the universe through our bodies, which reflects the immortality of the cycle of life and death. It connects sex and spirituality – spiritual union of the individual with the Divine - to attain Moksha. #BaulSong #BengaliSong #FolkSong #Music #FolkMusic #BaulMusic #BengaliMusic #Singer #BaulSinger #BengaliSinger #FolkSinger #Artiste #BaulArtiste #BengaliArtiste #FolkArtiste #Performer #BaulPerformer #BengaliPerformer #FolkPerformer #Musician #BaulMusician #BengaliMusician #FolkMusician #DehoTatva #RadhaKrishna #BasudebDasBaul #RabiDasBaul #BrindabanDasBaul #Manik #PrasantaDasBaul #PathikDasBaul #SuvamoyDasBaul #BolpurAshram #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #SujoyDas |
