Baul singers
Lalon Shah was a spiritual singer cum composer. When we hear a song of Lalon from Farida Parveen or any other Baul singer we get lost in a world other than this earth. Certainly, we do not understand all 'truths' of the song but we feel that the singer is trying to seek communion with the Creator through it.
Lalon loved all men, irrespective of their religious identities. He believed that all people are the creations of the same Creator.
The Baul king was simple and uneducated but surely a self-educated wise man - a philosopher. Lalon is our pride. He is part and parcel of our culture.
