A FEW SPECIMENS OF INDIAN SONGS. 69
( 20 )
A SONG OF THE BAULS.
This is a kind of song sung by a certain Hindu religious
sect, known as the Bduls. According to their doctrines, the
subjects of their worship, R£dha and Krishna, live in the human
body, as everything else, in heaven or earth, does; and it is
their belief that love between man and woman, when brought
to perfection, leads to the enjoyment of divine love. The
Bduls wear a fantastic dress, use rosaries, made of Coral, crystal
beads &c, do not shave at all, and tie up their hair in tufts
over their heads. They do not believe in idol worship or fasting.
Their religious songs are simple yet impressive.
