The Baul are a group of mystic minstrels from the country of
Bangladesh. Bauls constitute both a syncretic religious sect and a musical tradition. Bauls are a very heterogeneous group, with many sects, but their membership mainly consists of Vaishnava Hindus and
Sufi Muslims. In
2005, the Baul tradition was included in the list of "
Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible
Heritage of
Humanity" by
UNESCO.

The word Baul has its etymological origin in the Sanskrit word Vatula ("mad", from vayu - "air" or "wind") and is used for someone who is possessed or crazy. Bauls are an extension of the Sahajiya philosophy, which in turn derives from the
Nath tradition. They believe in living the world as a half-sanyasi.
The origin of the word is Baul is debated. Some modern scholars, like
Shashibhusan Das Gupta have suggested that it may be derived either from Sanskrit word vatula, which means "enlightened, lashed by the wind to the
point of losing one's sanity, god's madcap, detached from the world, and seeker of truth", or from vyakula, which means "restless, agitated" and both of these derivations are consistent with the modern sense of the word, which denotes the inspired people with an ecstatic eagerness for a spiritual life, where a person can realise his union with the eternal beloved – the
Maner Manush (the man of the heart).

The origin of Bauls is not known exactly, but the word "Baul" has appeared in
Bengali texts as old as the
15th century. The word is found in the
Chaitanya Bhagavata of
Vrindavana Dasa Thakura as well as in the
Chaitanya Charitamrita of
Krishnadasa Kaviraja.
Regarding the origins of the sect, one recent theory suggests that Bauls are descendants of a branch of Sufism called ba'al.
There are two classes of Bauls: ascetic Bauls who reject family life and Bauls who live with their families.

Baul music celebrates celestial love, but does this in very earthy terms, as in declarations of love by the Baul for his bosh-tomi or lifemate. With such a liberal interpretation of love, it is only natural that Baul devotional music transcends religion and some of the most famous baul composers, such as
Lalon Fokir.
