Mago Tomar Mone Prane | Chinmay Das Baul #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #youtubeshorts #shorts #reels #baulsong
"Mago Tomar Mone Prane" is a Baul song, written and composed by Bimal Baul.
The song talks about the deep respect and love towards one’s mother. It's through one’s mother that the person is brought to this world. Again it's the mother whose tender and affections we long through our lives. The song also talks about all the hopes and aspirations that a mother has towards her child.
Mon Fakira Moneri Kotha #BasudebDasBaul #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #youtubeshorts #reels #shorts #folksong
‘Mon Fakira Moneri Kotha’ is a series of metaphorical statements and philosophical musings. The vivid description of bamboo trees bearing chillies and brinjal plants bearing silk gourds symbolise the unexpected and unconventional imagination that lies in these musings. The song expresses the thoughts and reflections being shared between one’s ‘Fakir’ soul and the innermost core of one’s heart and mind. It states that such conversations can only be understood by wise Gurus, thus emphasising the importance of spiritual understanding. The verses touch upon the transient nature of relationships and the innumerous mysteries of life, beyond human comprehension. The song points out the unique perspective on the world that every individual soul, heart and mind have and the wisdom that they seek through these imaginations.
Tui Kene Dhushai Dili Bol #SuvamoyDasBaul #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #youtubeshorts #shorts #reels
Placed in a modern day funny premise, “Tui Kene Dhushai Dili Bol '', a Jhumur song, is a complaint of a woman travelling in a crowded bus when the conductor pushes her further inside to make space for new boarding passengers. She is with her kid in one arm and a huge potli bag in another, making it impossible to fish out the bus fare immediately. Yet without a seat, the woman asks the conductor to ask for the fare when she settles down in a while, as she struggles with passengers stomping over her feet and the kid wailing. Allegorically, the song has sexual connotations with the crowded bus representing the hustle bustle in the daily life of a homemaker while the conductor is a metaphor for her partner asking for love and attention at the very instant, without caring about her hands being full with household chores.
Bhalobasa Noyoner Nesha #BasudebDasBaul #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #youtubeshorts #reels #shorts
“Bhalobasa Noyoner Nesha” describes Love as an infatuation, addiction and penchant of the eyes. The lyrics convey that the essence of Love is strongly associated with our eyes. It is the feeling of wishing to see one’s beloved all the time. The song asks how many people truly love the right way. The lyrics also compare Love to an all-consuming fire. Despite the potential pain, the singer expresses a determination to keep loving and endure the consequences, paying no heed to any forbiddance. The verses highlight a defiance against societal norms and restrictions in the pursuit of love.
Brindabone Ful Futeche #PrasantaDasBaul #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #youtubeshorts #shorts #reels #baulsong
Apparently it seems that “Brindabone Ful Futeche” describes a flower garden where flowers have started blooming after twelve years. Once a flower blooms, it gets repeated once in every month. The flowers are of different colours - blue, yellow and white.
Allegorically, this is a Deho-tatva song where the songwriter (padakarta) compares the flower garden with a female body. The blooming of a flower refers to the start of the menstrual cycle, which is considered as a holy thing. The flower starts blossoming after 12 years, signifying the general age of girls reaching puberty and becoming adolescents. He cites different colours of the flowers for different kinds of discharge from the human body. This is deemed to be such a holy phenomenon that the padakarta, Chand Gosai, is looking for Radha and Krishna in it. In Hindu mythology or culture, a girl reaching her adolescence is considered to be a sacred event as it is regarded as the precedent for a source of Life. The padakarta has celebrated this by comparing it with the good vibes that we find when we see flowers blooming in a flower garden.
Jati Chara Jay Go Piriti Chara Day #RajuDasBaul #BaulSong #FolkSong #BengaliSong #GaanFun
“Jati Chara Jay Go” expresses the unyielding power and significance of love in contrast to social divisions such as caste. It emphasises that love cannot be easily dismissed or renounced, unlike societal constructs, as it is like a jackfruit’s glue, symbolising its strong and lasting nature. The song also talks about the intoxicating and immersive aspect of love where it pierces one’s heart and makes them lose themselves. The song concludes with the lyricist inviting all around him to transcend social barriers and indulge wholly in love and devotion towards Lord Krishna, thus accentuating love’s ability to bring people together, despite differences.

Moner Kotha Hoy Moner Sathe | Chanchal Das (Bapi) | Prasanta Das Baul | Baul Song | Folk | Gaan Fun
Written by Nitai Chand, “Moner Kotha Hoy Moner Sathe” means conversations of one with oneself. The song says that when one is able to shut out the noise of opinions, vices and attachment to worldly affairs and chooses to traverse the path to the soul alone, only then can one pull out the deepest thoughts from the innermost corners of mind. It suggests introspection as a way to understand oneself as a stepping stone towards uniting with one’s soul.
Pakhi Radha Krishner Naam Bolona #BasudebDasBaul #GaanFun #FILMSTOP #youtubeshorts #reels #shorts
“Pakhi Radha Krishner Naam Bolona” implores a bird, metaphor for our soul, to chant the names of Radha and Krishna, emphasising the power and significance of these divine names. The song draws a parallel between a bird’s confinement in a cage and the soul’s captivity in the mortal human body. The lyrics suggest that chanting the holy names of Radha and Krishna can help to break the barrier of this mortal realm and free the soul from the cycle of birth and rebirth, thus attaining spiritual liberation or Moksha. The songwriter expresses his sorrow over humans, who, unlike the wise sages, do not chant or listen to these sacred names, leading to the inability of mortal minds to connect at a spiritual and soulful level. The verses claim that even in the womb, these names were uttered by the soul and hence question its human existence on this earth, for not chanting those names even subconsciously, intuitively, instinctively or by mistake. The song reflects on the need for humans to recognise the importance of practising spirituality in their lives in order to transcend worldly limitations and realise our soul’s true essence.

Tomari Jibone Thoke Gele Tumi | Prasanta Das Baul | Baul Song | Bengali Folk | Gaan Fun
The song “Tomari Jibone Thoke Gele Tumi” asks us - will we get this life again if we keep deceiving our own selves? It talks about the way humans commit crimes and cruelty, humiliate others and face humiliation, con and curse others while causing immense pain to both oneself and those around them. It urges the listeners not to waste this precious life with vices and violence, lest the feeling of guilt and remorse become too big to keep bearing. It asks us to be wary of digressing over inconsequential matters and rather, search for the purpose of this life.
Panchabatir Patay Patay | Basudeb Das Baul | Baul Song | Bengali Folk | Gaan Fun | Vol. I
‘Panchavati’ derives its name from two words – ‘Pancha’ meaning Five and ‘Vat’ meaning Banyan Tree, which is a type of Fig Tree. So, Panchabati refers to the five varieties of Fig Trees (Vat, Asvathha, Bilva, Amalaki, Ashoka) which are deemed to be sacred in Hinduism, Budhhism & Jainism. It is believed that many religious founders and saints attained enlightenment under any one of the Panchavati, including Gautam Budhha (Ficus Religiosa/Peepal) and Mahavir Jain (Saraca Asoca/Ashoka). “Panchabatir Pataye Pataye” is a soulful yearning of the Panchavati for meeting the Divine again, in the form of a spiritually enlightened soul. The song suggests that not only humans, but also Nature desires for unison with the universal soul.
