Join us for an evening of Baul-Fakiri Music at the Green Mountain monastery, 420 Hillcrest Rd, Greensboro. Bauls are poet-philosophers and spiritual seekers in search of true love and pure freedom through their music, dance and yogic practice. This ancient oral tradition is rooted in rural Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, with influences stemming from Sufism, Tantra and Vajrajana Buddhism. The essence of Baul-Fakiri is universal- Bauls do not believe in boundaries of nationality, gender, race or religion- only pure love.

Polash and Pavitra are a couple who practice Baul-Fakiri. Polash is an artist and musician from Bangladesh, Pavitra is a poet and artist from India raised in New York City. Pavitra and Polash have been in Santiniketan, India in a small mud-hut studio, nurturing music, art and Baul practice under the guidance of their gurus. They currently travel between India, Bangladesh and the US, where they sing, dance and practice Baul-Fakiri.
