Moner Manush Jekhane | Prasanta Das Baul | Baul Song | Bengali Song | Folk Song | Gaan Fun

“Moner Manush Jekhane” is a song written by Fakir Lalon Shah. In this song Lalon asks what is the purpose of his visit to the person his heart desires for. The song divulges deep questions about this purpose as the place where this person stays , there is no light, the heart is always burning with emotions day and night. Lalon acknowledges that only amourists are able to figure out the way to navigate in this difficult water, however Lalon himself is not sure of the purpose.
Fakir Lalon Shah (14 Oct 1772 - 17 Oct 1890) is regarded as an Icon and Pioneer of Baul Music and Philosophy. He did not believe in classes or castes, the fragmented, hierarchical society and took a stand against racism. Lalon played a socially transformative role in sub-continental Bhakti and Sufism and was greatly influenced by the Bhakti movement initiated by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He believed in the power of Music to alter the intellectual and emotional state, in order to be able to understand and appreciate Life itself. His songs reject any absolute standard of right and wrong and show the triviality of any attempt to divide people whether materially or spiritually. Lalon left no written copies of his songs, which were transmitted orally and only later transcribed by his followers. Also, most of his followers could not read or write either, so few of his songs are found in written form. Rabindranath Tagore published some of the Lalon songs in the monthly Prabasi magazine of Kolkata.
