Kothay Bajao Banshi | Parvathy Baul

Kothay Bajao Banshi (Where are you, playing your flute?)
Poet, Performer, Painting, Composition: Parvathy Baul (Bina Das)

This song is an expression of deep devotion and surrender to the Divine. This is the essence of Gopi bhav experienced by the Bhakti yogin. Contemplating on Sri Radha's unconditional love towards Krishna makes one's mind be absorbed in devotion. For the seeker of this path, it means total transformation of one's thoughts, emotions and feelings. Sufferings, hurdles of one's life now become the Divine touch.
