The word Baul comes from the Sanskrit “Batul,” which means mad, or“afflicted by the wind disease.” The Bauls are India’s wandering minstrels of West Bengal, whose song and dance reflect the joy, love and longing for mystical union with the Divine. Bauls are free thinkers who openly declare themselves to be mad for the God who dwells within us all.The Bauls of Bengal have made no effort to record their practices, lives or beliefs, for they are reluctant to leave a trace behind. Therefore little concrete documentation is available when exploring the group’s origin. Scholars have instead turned to the songs of the Bauls to piece together their potential history. Examining the style and language of the Bauls’ music, links the sect to distinct groups that share their unique style of worship.
