'Jonomo Morono' by Parvathy Baul

You must die, if you really want to live. In this intense song and conversation about living and dying, Parvathy speaks and sings this paradoxical truth, which is called the ‘simple path’ to liberation!

If there is an embodiment of intensity, Parvathy is it. As our friend, as an advisor, as a fiery challenger, she has brought us into deeper touch with ourselves. This recording was made as part of our week-long immersion with Parvathy at her home and akhada on the outskirts of Trivandrum in September 2011. She warmly welcomed us, housed us, fed us, and sang for us and spoke to us with great depth and insight about the Baul path and about life itself. An experience that we still carry with us.
Parvathy Baul is a Baul singer and saadhika, 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. (parvathybaul.com/)

Its like God ,the Divine lord himself is passing on the words through her, to us devotees , seekers, to understand the urgency of Sadhana....for liberation of our souls, for Mukti for attaining Nirvana salvation, the ultimate destination we hv to reach, if we get the message in this birth ,good for us. .or else Jonomo Morona ....as Maa is saying....will go on and on....till we realise this.. sooner the better....🙏🙏🙏

Although, I don't even dare to claim that... all words are understandable for me now but at least I can feel it better than before. ❤️

As if , the Divine Goddess herself is singing with heavenly bliss ... As if , enormous serpent power moving upward from Muladhara and piercing each chakras slowly , trying to touch the crown chakra for eternal union ... As if, my earthy body sitting absolutely still on earth and my core existence(soul) has moved out, to seek , to find something that is there inside and outside me , since time immemorial. As if, I'm listening to her divine voice when tears rolling down with cosmic pleasure and divine pain too , my quest remains alive for several lifetimes , "জনম মরণ হবে নিবারণ" , কিন্তু, কবে ? কে জানে, কে বলে দেবে....? ❤️❤️❤️
