Parvathy Baul to perform today

Staff Reporter

Parvathy Baul

BANGALORE: The Baul tradition is as old as the yogic traditions in India. Later it was inspired by Buddhist philosophy and Sufi traditions and was connected with the Siddha practitioners of south India.

Baul music celebrates the joy of unconditional love, true devotion and freedom from the bondages of the world. Through their songs, Bauls seek to be free even from the human body, which they consider no more than a pile of bones and flesh.

One of the younger singers of the traditions, Parvathy Baul, is performing on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Alliance Francaise at a concert organised by the Rthu Foundation and WorldSpace.

Aficionados can pick up the tickets at the venue or at K.C. Das outlets or contact 9448470353.
