Publisher's Synopsis

The book is a collection of nine essays on the bauls of Bengal. It includes an interview of a renowned baul from Bolpur, Santiniketan. The book delineates the Baul Darshan (philosophy of the bauls), their sacred dehatatwa ('Theory of the Body'), and the symbolism in their songs.

The author also narrates how Fakir Lalon Shah (1774-1890), the great Bengali baul saint, had influenced generations of singers, artists, and mystics (Rabindranath Tagore among them).
