This document attempts to string together the various aspects of Baul
culture and their way of life. As a researcher, I realized the importance
of tracing the journey of an age-old community while working on
this project. Much of the history of Baul culture is discontinuous and
elusive, hence I found myself interacting with those whose ancestors or
distant relatives belonged to this community in order to bridge the gap.
The document briefly discusses the geographic location of Satiniketan,
and West Bengal before moving to a detailed description of the Baul cult.
I found this project both enlightening and enjoyable, while I found myself
embarking on a journey to rediscover the mystic Bauls of Bengal. The project
required me to gain an understanding of the many Baul philosophies and
principles, for which an ethnographic study was essential.
