Maithili + Bengali = Brajabuli

In this video, we will be exploring the fascinating language of Brajabuli. It is a unique blend of Bengali and Maithili, and was created by Bengali speakers who were huge fans of Maithili, but did not actually speak the language themselves.
They wrote songs in this hybrid language as a way to express their devotion to Radha and Krishna, and it was Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his followers who popularized it. It is important to note that Brajabuli should not be confused with Braj Bhasha, which is spoken in Uttar Pradesh.
Brajabuli, on the other hand, is a form of Maithili that originated in the lands of Bengal. In the past, Maithili and Bengali were written in the same script, which has now evolved into the Tirhut script. So come join us as we delve into the rich history and culture behind the beautiful language of Brajabuli.

My first exposure to maithili was sawan gaganey ghor ghanaghata… I knew both Hindi and Bengali by then. I also learnt about Maithili in school and borrowed some books from school library to read some poems. Our librarian sir also told me so much about the beautiful language. Then one Sunday morning I heard this song on my mum’s rabindeasangeet collection that played as a morning ritual at our home. I instantly thought this was Maithili and asked mum. She told me about brojobuli and chaitnya srot in Bengal. Since then I have loved this language, maithili, it’s sweetness and grace. As a child I was in love with krishna and thought if any language should describe the essence of krishna it should be maithili and brojobuli. You made me live those days again for few moments. It pains me to see Maithili is not used for beautiful songs and poems anymore but all rubbish degrading music.

Bihar used to be the most culturally rich region of India. Most of the greatest empires like Mauryan, Gupta emerged from there. It is sad to see Bihar in such a dilapidated condition. On another note, one has to just admire the talent of Kobiguru Robindronath Thakur. He composed works in Bengali, Sanskrit, English, etc now got to know that he did in Brajavali too. He was a great painter too. I don't think India in her history has produced a better artist than him. As versatile as him.

I am a Maithil, from past 13 years my family is living in Delhi and in Delhi i came across this situation a lot of time where whenever my schoolmate use to crack some joke or use to say idiot to any child they often say 'abey bihari h kya ' or they just say 'kya bihario wali harkaten h' don't know why but whenever they have to set a bad example they indicate it with a bihari. In every summer vacation we went to our hometown darbhanga and I really feel very very very proud to be a MAITHIL or a BIHARI. My father is a mithila painting artist and when he teaches his student and tell them the story behind each and every painting I really feel proud.

@@iip yes I do, 'sandhyo' this word is derived from the bangla word 'sondhya' which means dusk, the mesmerizing time between day and night not the night not the day. It has two meanings, not necessarily what you're reading it has the same literal meaning. But this Sandhyo bhasa used in Charyapad, not in Baishnab Padabali, sorry I mixed up the two.

[@Mod_on_exp]

@@iip Sorry to barge in in another person’s thread, but Brajabuli isn’t dubbed “sandhya bhasha”. That epithet goes for the oldest form of Bengali found in charyapada, the works of Luipada, Kanhapada, Vusukupada etc. And that is called “Sandhya bhasha” (Sandhya=Evening/Dusk=mixture of light and darkness) due to the cryptic and metaphorical nature of the charya poetries. It represents Buddhist tantric philosophy through mundane life’s description, in ambiguous languages, so some of it can be interpreted easily (light), some not (darkness).

I approach Bengali with a lot of fascination and respect. Through these videos, I just want to document how the culture and language feel like to me. I think we need to have more inter-cultural dialogues in India to work better as a country together. Knowing the specifics of our countrymen, and knowing what makes them unique will help the nation be more at ease with itself. This is why humanities have always, always been the driver of society - the arts, the poems, the culture, the language - they are never secondary. I feel it is my duty to bring this to more Indians who at such an interesting time in history should know about their own story. Thank you for being such a kind community with so much love for the channel, for each other. It makes me happy to make these videos for you, they come from a place of love, and it makes me super happy when you can connect with the same ideas that once took shape in my mind.

Sheer elegance, serenity and love can be felt throughout the video. A video made to touch the hearts. I would only like to add that 'Bharati'( ভারতী) was a monthly Bangla periodical published by the Tagore family during the late nineteenth century till the early twentieth century. The name of the editor seen on the page of 'Bharati' in this video is of 'Shornokumari Debi'(স্বর্ণকুমারী দেবী), the elder sister of Rabindranath Tagore and a prominent literary figure of Bengal. She was one of the many members of the Tagore family who later became the editors of 'Bharati'.

Vidyapati's works were taught in our schools in both Bengali and Hindi classes in West Bengal - and is one of the key poets of "aadikaal". I remember learning some of his padavalis as a student. It was only later that I realised that Maithili is a language in own right. Luckily more awareness is coming now in Bihar and it has become part of the recognised languages in the Indian constitution (already a part of Nepal constitution). I sincerely hope that its original script is revived. That script is more complete than the Bengali script and is nearly similar (except for va, ra, etc.) The Mithila region and culture has given the world many thinkers over the centuries. I hope the language and culture thrives and does not get subsumed by the Hindustani (Hindu / Urdu) culture in modern day Bihar. It should be possible to thrive concurrently with Hindustani and other languages, provided Maithli speakers become more aware and value their cultural wealth. That should happen when the region continues becomes more prosperous.

It is interesting how different circumstances can lead to similar innovations. In Assam too, a similar language called Brajavali, a mix of Assamese and Maithili, is used in the Borgeet and Ankiya Naats associated with the classical dance form Sattriya. Unlike Brajabuli, however, it was deliberately created by Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankaradeva and his followers, to make compositions understandable to the common Assamese people while at the same time making it surreal enough to fit the divine Krishna. The primary texts of Ekasarana Dharma like the Kirtan Ghoxa by Sankaradeva and Nam Ghoxa by Madhabadeva include Brajavali poetry. Unlike Bengal, Assam was never under Muslim rule, but under a different requirement, Assamese Vaishnavites reached such a similar innovation. In Assamese Vaishnavism, however, the Dasya Bhava is given prominence over Prema Bhava. A synthetic language like Brajavali suits Dasya Bhava I think, because it makes the expressions exotic, befitting the exalted positions the Bhakats place Krishna in. For example, Madhabadeva writes in his poem Aare Kompito (meaning Trembling), "kahaya Madhava daxe, xuno meri maai; ohi jagata pati, xuta kahi paai! Aare kati sati urukhala bandhana kayi!" He could not believe that lord Krishna Himself trembles in front of a mortal like Zoxuwa or Yashoda, he thus asks, "listen, o mother, He is the Master of the Universe, and you have tied him to a pole!"

Interested to know more. Can you point to some resources please? Thanks for the information.

[@ishankashyap3350]

@@RajibAdityaNayan Thanks for the interest! I think any book by Dr Maheshwar Neog would be a great introduction: Early history of the Vaisnava faith and movement in Assam; Rhythm in the Vaishnava music of Assam; Assamese drama and theatre: two lectures; Sattriya dances; Bhaona: the ritual play of Assam; The Creative force behind the Sankaradeva Renaissance etc.

One of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. Amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@snippetsofbharat]

Awesome video Can you please do a video on the North eastern languages, maybe on the Vaishnav literature of Assam and Manipur. It would be great, since we know very little about the North eastern literature.

You are just a gem to speak about those topics which are not talked a lot. Coming from a Maithil family, i never knew these great details. Thanks for sharing your research in this beautiful video 🙂
