Here is a picture of a Baul ; I have seen them ocassionally in India , singing and dancing .Rabindranath Tagore had said of the Bauls: " One day I chanced to hear a song of a Baul beggar of Bengal. It spoke of an intense yearning for the divine which is in man and not in the temple scriptures, in images or symbols. Since then I have often sought to understand these people whose songs are their only form of worship... I have fitted the tunes of the Bauls to many of my songs."
