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.

In this region no one is left who has not heard the name of Lalon Fakir. And not this region only: from Chittagong in the east, Rangpur in the north and Jashore in the south, and far into the west, people in many different parts of Bengal are disciples of this Lalon Fakir. We hear that his disciples number more than ten thousand. We have seen him with our own eyes and, through conversation, have grown deeply fond of him.

Among the dispositions of the human mind there are some whose cause can never be found - the sense of beauty, for instance. This sense of beauty exists among all the peoples of the earth, civilized, uncivilized and half-civilized alike.

A Few Words on Behalf of the Nobopran Movement
The Nobopran movement strives to build an intimate bond with the bhab-andolon of Bengal. In this day the use of the word "sadhana" is risky. Simply put, we are trying to weave, together with Bengal's bhab-andolon, a relation of joy, of knowledge or wisdom, and at the same time of practice or work.

It was Nizamuddin's view that perhaps it was because Lalon was born on the tithi of Dol Purnima that throughout his life, on the night of Dol Purnima in the month of Falgun, he would sing and play music all night in the open field with his disciples. In that tradition, the Lalon Academy still arranges every year a three-day Lalon Memorial Festival on the night of Dol Purnima in the month of Falgun.

He was an emperor. A fakir emperor. All his life controversy surrounded him, and the leaders of the two religions were locked in a tug-of-war over him. Without leaning to any side, he sang the songs of the human faith. Even after his death the tug-of-war over him goes on. Now it is no longer only religious fundamentalists; the brokers of politics too have entered the field over him. By turning him into a commodity, the cultural mafias have descended on the world market.

No fire had yet been lit at Harinath Majumdar's house. Six lathiyals sat surrounding his home; a torch blazed in the hand of one of them. In a moment, surely, everything would be destroyed!

In Lalon's own time and afterwards, both favourable and negative social reactions about him ran strong. He was acclaimed and censured at the same time. This extraordinary personality of folk Bengal succeeded, even in his lifetime, in drawing the attention and respect of the learned. The affectionate curiosity of several members of the Tagore household toward him extended the geography of his identity. After Lalon's death, interest and devotion toward him have continued to grow.

Khadem Nizam Uddin of Lalon Academy is now over sixty-one years old. If you ask him about Lalon, he says he heard from his grandfather Bholai Shah that Lalon would drink milk at night and eat no other food. Almost the whole night he spent in worship and austerity, and only after quite a while he would take water.

Not far from Kushtia town, Cheuria is a village of deep shade and quiet seclusion. On one side flows the Gorai, on the other the Kaliganga — two ever-flowing rivers. Nearly two hundred and seventeen years ago, one dawn, the unconscious seventeen-year-old Lalon drifted with the current until he came ashore on the bank of the Kaliganga. Maulana Molom Karikor of Cheuria village was a prayer-keeping man. His father was Munshi Khairullah. Munshi Khairullah had four sons — Molom, Alom, Kolom and Tilom Karikor.

The immortal fakir Lalon lived at Cheuria, and after his death his tomb was built on the premises of the Cheuria Akhra. A detailed account of the life of Cheuria-based Lalon can be found in Lalan Sangeet, a book compiled by Fakir Anowar Hossain Montu Shah.
