Woodcut print, engraved in 2005, 76,4 x 54cm Bamakhepa, a revered Shakta Siddha from Bengal, spent his life worshipping Smashan Tara at Tarapith's sacred cremation grounds. Known as "Khepa," or 'Mad one,' his life story evokes deep devotion. Contemporary of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, he is regarded as the Bhairava of Tarapith. The woodcut shows Bamakhepa with cremation fires and dogs in the funeral grounds, with the historic Tarapith temple embodying the pervasive energy of the Goddess.
Woodcut print, engraved in 2021, printed in 2023. Total size of the paper: 76,4 cm x 54 cm This is a translation of the simple vision of the deity Bala Gopal whose playful loving nature allows the devotee to melt into his innocence. In this artwork he is accompa nied by a beautiful calf. Maa Parvathy Baul brings a unique facet into this artwork by invoking Mother Kali’s presence in the eyes of Bala Gopal.
Woodcut on paper, Gopi Bhava, engraved in 2005. Size of the paper: 76,4 cm x 54 cm In the path of the Bhakti of Sri Krishna, meditation on his sporting in Brindavan with various denizens plays a pivotal role for the seeker in cultivating true devotion. Amongst all forms of devotion, that which is embodied by the Gopis is considered the most pristine. It is a state of total surrender and an attitude of complete reliance on Sri Krishna. This woodcut depicts three Baul women as the Gopis.
Engage with the heartfelt wisdom of Baul songs
and lend your support to our endeavour to share the treasured Baul tradition in South America!
We are happy to share that Maa Parvathy Baul and her devoted disciple, Krishnakanta, are preparing for an auspicious voyage to Peru. There, they will connect with local traditions, artists, and spiritual communities, sharing the rich poetry and dance that embody the essence of the Baul heritage.
To make this beautiful exchange possible, Krishnakanta will present an online Madhukori—a spiritual performance steeped in Baul practice.
As part of the madhukori-fundraiser, we are also offering an online Art Sale of three original woodcut prints by Maa Parvathy Baul, and a beautiful sacred wood Ektara with carvings designed by Maa Parvathy Baul.
Your support will not only enable her journey alongside Maa Parvathy Baul and the documentation of Parvathy Maa’s first visit to South America, but also create an invaluable opportunity for learning and connection, deepening our understanding of ancient traditions that resonate across cultures.
Sanatan Baul Association Europe is committed to facilitating this unique convergence of spiritual knowledge and artistry.
Let us come together to honor and preserve the beauty of the Baul tradition.
