English Fakir lalon shai
Fakir Lalon Shai (1774 – 17 October 1890) — also known as Lalon Sai, Lalon Shah or Mahatma Lalon — was a Bengali of many talents: a spiritual Baul sadhak, humanist, social reformer and philosopher. He was the lyricist, composer and singer of countless songs, celebrated as a pioneer of Baul music and as the "Baul Emperor". Through his songs Baul music became widely popular in the nineteenth century, and his humanist vision — placing humanity above every division of religion, caste and creed — still guides the mystic tradition of Kushtia.

Khulna Divisional Commissioner Lokman Hossain Miah has said that the profound knowledge in the songs of the Baul emperor Fakir Lalon Sai — called illiterate by some — had truly mesmerised him. He is an undiscovered world in the treasury of knowledge. Many countries have presented him in many ways. As a spiritually accomplished sage he appeared to build a society of truth, free of caste.

The shrine of the Baul emperor Fakir Lalon Shah in Cheuria village under Kumarkhali thana, adjoining Kushtia town, is one of the most important historical and sightworthy places of Bangladesh. The mystic sage Fakir Lalon Shah sang the triumph of man and humanity, forgetting all distinctions of caste, religion, tribe and colour. That is why the songs of Lalon stand established across the world as the unforgetting message of humanism, and the Lalon shrine at Cheuria, bound up with the memory of Fakir Lalon, is today a well-known historical and archaeological place across the whole world. And to Lalon's followers and the Baul community it counts as nothing short of a place of pilgrimage.

The essential character of Lalon's Akhra courtyard at Cheuria in Kushtia has been destroyed; its own bhab-gata identity has been lost. Beneath gleaming modern structures lie crushed the Bauls and fakirs, and the destitution-steeped environment of their sadhana.

Through the worship and practice of humanity, and through his unbroken love for human beings, the Baul emperor Fakir Lalon Shah wished to build a non-communal society of equality. Taking up the vow of non-violent humanity, he created countless songs on the doctrine of the body, the doctrine of feeling and the doctrine of the guru. This immortal music of his is confined to no religion. Rising above all faiths, the mystic sage and Baul emperor Fakir Lalon Shah gave the world the Fakiri doctrine for the liberation of mankind. Saiji's Fakiri doctrine — a philosophy and music of casteless humanity — has crossed the borders of the country and spread across the globe. He called upon people, beyond the limits of every religion, to walk ever the path of truth and to follow the way of humanism.

The acquaintance and bond between the Baul and Bengali society are of long standing. Through many a blow and counterblow over several centuries, the Baul reached the highest level of its flowering chiefly thanks to Fakir Lalon Sai. Lalon alone is the Baul community's greatest representative - in song, in sadhana, in theoretical knowledge. This luminary of the people is no longer confined within the bounds of Bangladesh or the Bengali-speaking regions; his seat today is in the world at large.

I could not rely entirely on the collections of Lalon's songs that have been published, because they are poorly edited and full of errors. In many cases the text carries no meaning and these texts are clearly corrupt. In other cases I found that errors are not easily noticeable. I also realised that even the songs I recorded on a tape recorder from live performances cannot be relied upon completely. Indeed, the artists themselves cautioned me about this, because when they forget a part of the song while singing, they fill the gap however they can.

Some call him Fakir Lalon, some Lalon Sai, some Mahatma Lalon — he is known by many names. He is his own only comparison. He was a spiritual Baul sage, a humanist, a social reformer, a philosopher. He was the lyricist, composer and singer of countless extraordinary songs.

Fakir Lalon Sai, throughout his life, held a festival of reunion with devotee-sadhus every year on the night of Dol Purnima. The sadhu-sangha went on through the whole night. Taking that as its theme, the three- or five-day Lalon Smaran Utsab is observed every year at Cheuria in Kushtia. That he is no longer among us is as true as the fact that even after his tirodhan his thought and philosophy keep stirring the world of our reflections - this too is the utmost truth; and that this wave will keep flowing age after age is truer still. That philosophy therefore keeps coming back before our young generation in many ways, and will return again and again. For those of us who are young, in building a society, a state and a world free from hatred, malice and division, Lalon's philosophy must count as a unique guiding light.

To teach how to take a guru or murshid in order to become a true human being, the mystic sage Lalon Shah worked all his life. In his songs the mystic sage Lalon Shah said, 'Leaving mankind, O mad one, you will lose the root; serve man and you will become a golden man.' In another song he said, 'The one who is the murshid is the rasul; there is no mistake in this - even God is He; Lalon does not say this, the Quran says it.'

On the occasion of Fakir Lalon Shahiji's tirodhan, the sadhu hat-bazar and the Lalon mela are in full swing. His Akhrabari is filled with hundreds of thousands of devotees. At the opening of Lalon Sai's 128th Tirodhan Dibas, joint general secretary of the Bangladesh Awami League and member of parliament for the Kushtia-3 Sadar constituency Mahbubul Alam Hanif said, above all else are man and humanity. Caste and creed have no value; only humanity has value.
