Sanatan Siddhashram - Parvathy Baul Ashram

Sanatan Siddhashram is an eternal, complete space for Sadhana. Founded by Parvathy Baul Bharath has always offered to the mankind her living wisdom.

Introduction to Baul Tradition – “Living Wisdom of Singing Saints”

The Baul songs are creations of musical expression combined with spirituality and yoga. It has been practiced and performed through generations since thousands of years, and continues even today. This living tradition of musical mystic practice is evolving every day through the contributions of contemporary Baul Sadhakas (Baul pra

ctitioners) of Bengal (Now Bangladesh and West Bengal). Baul is mainly an oral tradition, intrinsically connected to the practice of Yogis, Sufis and Mystics. The beauty of this tradition is that it washed away the boundaries of classification in music – every singer and musician adores these songs of great masters, being rendered on any occasion. It is a genre by itself - a living wisdom or spoken truth which serves the purpose of remembering, recognizing the flower of universal love which blossoms in everyone’s heart, devoid of caste, class or religion or any kind of human made boundaries. Baul music serves the purpose of music and poetry, where body is a vehicle to connect ourselves to the divine, to grow inside, and to nourish our thoughts with great courage and positivity. She still keeps the whole world inspiring, and more. We come together in this Festival to bring and spread more awareness about the Baul works. Baul festival imagines this get-together as a service to larger humanity. BAUL GYAN DARPAN :
The Retreat with songs, poems and Baul Sadhana

Underlying theme of the Baul Gyan Drapan or Retreat would be to help participants explore along with practising masters, the three essential facets of the Baul Tradition – ShabdaGaan , Songs and Poems / Body Practice DehaYog/ inner discipline AntarYog. Participants will learn to play Ektara (the essential one string instrument for Baul) in this workshop. The first Baul Retreat has taken place in December 2014 in Kerala, at Ekathara Kalari. The second one is planned in October 2015, in Pondicherry, and there would be many more to come. There will be an evening of Baul songs on the concluding day, which is open to all and all workshop participants are invited to join the evening of Baul Music. EKTARA FESTIVAL:
The Ektara festival was held since the year 2000 in different parts of Kerala, in Trivandrum we have collaborated with Alliance Francaise since the first year. The last time it took place on 12.12.12 at Villopilly Sanskruthi Bhavan Amphitheatre, Trivandrum and part of it was held at Ektara Kalari in Nedumangad. The collaboration took place between Alliance Francaise Trivandrum and Ektara Kalari. This event was well received by the people of Trivandrum and was largely attended. Ekathara Baul Sangeetha Kalari
Was founded by Shri Ravi Gopalan Nair and Smt Parvathy Baul in 1997. Ekathara Baul Sangeetha Kalari is based on the discipline of the Baul Akhara, and Traditional Kerala theatre practice space “Kalari”. The Ekathara Kalari has hosted Sadhaks from traditional knowledge of art, spirituality, theatre, puppetry, music and healing. The Kalari is open for few selected students who would like to go through a period of intense training in Baul Parampara. The Ekathara Kalari has created many Festivals, workshops, meetings and tours with contemporary masters from Traditions and Creations. Ektara Kalari has provided support for Baul Ashrams and Elderly Baul Gurus. Ektara Kalari has published books and CDs. This is the first time Ekthara Kalari with the support of her present students holding “Baul Gyan Darpan” or Baul retreat to spread the awareness about Baul parampara.

"মায়ের পায়ের জবা হয়ে ওঠ না ফুটে মন "-শান্ত কন্ঠে গেয়ে চলেছেন বাউল ,আলো আঁধারে তাঁর সুর জাগতিক কুয়াশাকে ভেদ করে অন্তরে চলে যাচ্ছে।হাতে তাঁর ছোট্ট একতারা একই তালে বেজে চলেছে ;কেমন‌ যেন ঘোর লাগা তার শব্দ।সালটা ২০১৮ , জানুয়ারী মাসের প্রথম সপ্তাহ, হাঁড় কাঁপানো ঠান্ডা, একটা হনুমান টুপি আর খয়েরী রঙের পুরোনো সোয়েটার গায়ে শীতকে যেন ফুৎকারে উড়িয়ে দিচ্ছেন গানের ভাবে।কালারির মাথার উপর বৃহৎ আকারের একটা তাবু টাঙানো, হাওয়ার তোড়ে এমন উঠানামা করছে যেন নেতি ধোপানী কাপড় কাচ্ছে ‌। গান শেষ হল ,কিন্তু তার রেশ যেন বাতাসের সাথে এক হৃদয় থেকে আর এক হৃদয়ে নিঃশব্দ বুনে দিয়ে গেল।মা পরিচয় করিয়ে দিলেন -"জয়গুরু ইনি হলেন কানাই দাস বাউল,তাঁরা মায়ের প্রিয় ছেলে । কানাই দা , তুমি কিছু বলো ।"
-"আমি আর কি বলবো বুনু তুমিই বলো "- বাক্যটা শেষ হল না , এমন একটা হাসি দিলেন ,সেই হাসিতেই বিশ্ব ভূবন জয় করা যায়। কানাই বাবার সাথে সেই "পথের পরিচয় "। দেবদাস বাবা আর কানাই বাবার জুটি আশ্রমে সকলের অত্যন্ত প্রিয়।এই দুজনের সৎসঙ্গ সব সময় আনন্দে পরিপূর্ণ হয়ে খানিকটা মধু বাইরেও গড়িয়ে পড়তো। আশ্চর্য হয়েছিলাম সেই দিন প্রথম, প্রায় মাস ছয়েক পরে আশ্রমে বাবার সঙ্গে আবার দেখা প্রণাম করতেই , নাম ধরে ডেকে বললেন -বিপ্লব বাবা আসেনি ? সত্যিই অবাক হয়েছিলাম,এই মানুষটা বাইরের চোখে দেখেননা বটে কিন্তু অন্তরের চোখ তাঁরা মায়ের কৃপায় সব সময় খোলা । অনেক গান পদ শিখেছি বাবার কাছে -প্রথম পদ শিখেছিলাম -"তোমার নাম শুনে এসেছি গৌর ,ও গৌর চাও করুণা নয়নে । সব শেষ যে পদটি শিখেছিলাম -কৃষ্ণ কৃষ্ণ কহ তৃষ্ণা মিটিবার আশে ,কালী কালী কহ যাহাতে শমন টুটে ।

বাবা তৃষ্ণা মেটে না । তোমার মত করে তো মাকে ডাকতে পারিনা বাবা । গান হয়তো মুখস্থ করেছি , কিন্তু ভাব তো ধরতে পারিনি ।"হৃদি সরোবরে ফুটিল না রে ,প্রেম কমল গভীর অনুরাগে "কি সহজ একটা মানুষ!কোনো চাহিদা নেই ,কোনো অভিযোগ নেই ,কোনো আশা নেই,কোনো নিরাশা নেই ;সব কিছু মায়ের চরণে সঁপে দিয়ে শান্তিতে বসে বসে গান গাইছেন ! তাই তো ওনার কন্ঠে অপার শান্তি।সকাল আটটা থেকে বিকেল পাঁচটা পর্যন্ত তিনি তাঁরাপীঠ মহাশ্মশানে তাঁরা মাকে গান শোনাতেন ,বলতেন ওটা আমার অফিস টাইম , তখন ফোন করলে ধরতে পারবো না গো মা -ঐ সময় অফিসে থাকি "। তোমার অফিসে তুমি আনন্দে থাকো বাবা ,মাকে গান শোনাও -"তিলেক দাঁড়া ওরে শমন বদন ভরে মাকে ডাকি "
তোমাকে হাতে ধরে চা দেওয়া খুব মিস করবো বাবা । তোমার আশীর্বাদের ঐ হাত যেনো আমাদের উপর থাকে বাবা । তোমার মত করে মাকে যেন আমরাও ডাকতে পারি বাবা। জয়গুরু বাবা । তোমার গান , তোমার উপস্থিতি সনাতন সিদ্ধাশ্রমের কালারীর সাধুসঙ্গে অমর হয়ে থাকবে ।

Joy Guru

This early morning, dear Child of Ma Tara , whom we lovingly called Kanai Baba ( Shri Kanai Das Baul) left his mortal coil.

His affectionate way of addressing Parvathy Ma resonates deep with in our heart. He spread love and kindness incessantly, that turns his departure into a huge loss.

At Sanatan Siddhashram we hold his divine mellifluous voice in a special place. His songs will continue to inspire millions and quench the thirst of sincere spiritual seekers.

As we treasure his child like laughter in our hearts, We pray for His Sadgati.
