Purnadas Baul

The direct descendant of Ananta Goswami, a well known Baul guru in the late nineteenth century, Purna Das Baul represents the eighth generation of a traditional Baul lineage. He spent his childhood accompanying his father Nabani Das Kapha Baul, the legendary Baul singer, mystic poet, and yogi, who was a close friend of the Nobel Prize winning poet Rabindranath Tagore. Purna Das Baul is responsible for raising awareness of this unique Baul tradition in the rest of the Indian subcontinent and the West.
