The desert is an ideal
The desert is an ideal place to slip within, when the eye has almost nothing external to grasp. And so some of us carried out two journeys within this one. We traversed long, lonely desert roads, but also treaded a bit on the dark, frightening path within, aided by the power of song. The ‘marubhumi’ – ‘difficult terrain’ or even ‘land of death’ – is an appropriate setting for a poetry that talks of dying to be born, to live, to be free.
'The Journey Home' shares glimpses of the Rajasthan Kabir Yatra, a rambunctious, melodic and feisty travelling festival of bhakti, sufi and baul poetry, which toured 7 villages of the Bikaner region with 13 singers in February 2012. The yatris and singers were warmly hosted by residents of the villages enroute – Momasar, Napasar, Jamsar, Pugal, Jageri Dhuni, Diyatara and Bikaner. The yatra was the joyful and vibrant initiative of Gopal Singh Chouhan, who worked with his Lokayan teammates (www.lokayan.org), a diverse band of volunteers and the Kabir Project, Bangalore, to make this festival possible.
This is one of a series of uploads for Ajab Shahar, an upcoming webspace featuring songs, images and conversations around bhakti, sufi and baul poetry from India and thereabouts, currently under construction by the Kabir Project team. www.ajabshahar.org, www.kabirproject.org
