'Aaye Kheyene' by Parvathy Baul

Amrito prem shudha bhore
Paan kore matwaara
The sweet nectar of love
The intoxicated one drinks

The wine of heaven, the drink of the breath, is a holy book read by true lovers. The Baul poet Rajjab invites us to get drunk, to enter a world of non-sense, or a higher sense.

In September 2011, Parvathy Baul graciously welcomed the Kabir Project team to her home in Trivandrum and we got an opportunity to immerse in songs and satsangs with her over an intense period of 7 days. One night in the akhada in the upper part of her home, Parvathy performed this song to an intimate audience of friends.

Parvathy is a Baul singer and practitioner, painter and storyteller from Bengal and has been a disciple of Shashanko Goshai and Sanatan Das Baul. She divides her time between her home in Trivandrum, Kerala and the Baul ashram she has built near Shantiniketan in Bengal. (https://parvathybaul.com/)
