Parvathy Baul
is set to stage her chitra-katha-geeti Radhabhab at a city auditorium in Kolkata on February 1. The proceeds will go to support the welfare of underprivileged children and youth. Parvathy Baul's ability to connect with her audiences is beyong imagination. She has performed in more than 40 countries in several prestigious concerts and festivals.
The baul tradition, which represents a coming together of
Vaishnav
, Sufi, Buddhist and many other folk traditions of
music
is a living testimony to the vast cultural and spiritual harmony at the grassroots level.
Parvathy Baul’s way of life is the path of sahaj, the natural expression of the joy of being. Given that Chaitanya emphasised love as well as non-violent resistance, it is easy to understand why Parvathy Baul’s music appeals to a generation that is in search of deeper insight and moves to protest against injustice.
Parvathy Baul created Radhabhab inspired from the story Kaliya performed by her guru
Sri Sanatan Das
Baul.
