The Path of the Mystic Lover

The Path of the Mystic Lover
Carrying on the living tradition of mystic minstrels, the Bauls roam eastern India spreading the message that communion with the Divine can be found within the body. The Path of the Mystic Lover explores the Bauls' lifestyle and philosophy. The thrilling songs of passion and ecstasy of the Bauls presented here with beautiful illustrations by Penny Slinger bring esoteric teachings while providing social commentary. The deeply meaningful messages transmitted through these songs are both practical and delightful, and can lead to self-realization, the highest human achievement. Basing their teachings on authoritative yogic and Tantric viewpoints, Bauls elevate the sexual act to the highest form of sacrament. Though the sexual-yogic practices of the Bauls are kept quite private, their songs contain erotic language and sexual puns which are sensual and potentially initiatory. The sheer poetry of these eighty-four songs and the wonderful illustrations that go with them reveal one of India's greatest secret treasures. Baul Songs of Passion and Ecstasy, By Bhaskar Bhattacharyya with Nik Douglas & Penny Slinger.
