The Oscillator

The Precious Gift of Human Life

Welcome, dear listener…Take a slow breath. Let it rise, let it fall.Allow yourself to settle into this moment, into the gentle rhythm of listening.
Today, we journey into the wisdom of Lalon Fakir—the mystic of Bengal, the wandering Baul, the singer of freedom.And we reflect on one of his most profound teachings: When will you ever get such a human life again? Don’t waste it, my mind.
This is not just a song. It is a reminder.A reminder of the rarity, the fragility, and the sacredness of being human.

“Religion Exists Within Man, Not Man Within Religion”

Lalon Fakir lived in Bengal in the 18th and 19th centuries. His life was simple, yet extraordinary. He carried no wealth, no possessions, no titles. He wandered barefoot, singing songs that pierced the illusions of society.He was born into a world divided by caste, religion, and social hierarchy. Yet his own life dissolved those boundaries. Some say he was born Hindu, others say Muslim. But perhaps that mystery is itself his message: he belonged to no single identity. He belonged to humanity.

Ami Jare Basi Valo” – The One I Love

Today, we journey into the wisdom of Lalon Fakir — the mystic, the poet, the philosopher of love and humanism.Our guiding theme is one of his timeless songs: “Ami Jare Basi Valo” — “The One I Love.”
But this is not merely about romantic love.It is about the mystery of love itself.Love as devotion.Love as surrender.Love as the bridge between the human and the divine.
So let us walk slowly, together, into the heart of this wisdom.

The Unknown Bird: Lalon & Life

Welcome to 'The Unknown Bird: Lalon & Life.' I am your host. Today, we are stepping slightly away from the 19th century and looking at a modern soul-searching anthem: 'Srotoswini' by Encore. Even though this is a contemporary song, its heart beats with the philosophy of Lalon. It asks the most terrifying and beautiful question of all: In this rushing river of life, where do 'I' actually exist? Today, we decode the science of flow and the spirituality of letting go."

The Alchemy of Now

Close your eyes. Just for a moment. Feel the air as it enters your nostrils, travels down your throat, and expands your chest. Now, feel it leave. That single breath you just took is gone. It will never return. It has joined the infinite river of the past.
We often live our lives as if we have an endless supply of these moments. We postpone our peace, we delay our kindness, and we wait for a "better time" to seek the truth of who we are. But the ancient mystics, the wandering Bauls of the East, left us a warning—a melodic reminder that once the season passes, the seeds will no longer sprout.

The Resident of the Heart Decoding the Guest Within

ake a moment to settle into your seat. Feel the weight of your body against the chair, the ground beneath your feet. Now, consider your body—not just as skin, bone, and breath, but as a home. A sanctuary.
We spend our entire lives caring for this house. We feed it, we clothe it, and we shield it from the rain. But have you ever stopped to ask who is actually living inside?

The Gathering of the Madmen Decoding the Three Madnesses of the Soul

Close your eyes and imagine a dusty crossroads at twilight. There are no maps here, no GPS, and no logic. You see three figures dancing—wild, unburdened, and laughing at the sky. In the eyes of the world, they have lost their minds. But in the eyes of the mystic, they are the only ones who have finally found them.
In the spiritual landscape of Bengal, the great saint Lalon Shah sang of a mysterious gathering—a "Mela" or a fair—where "Three Madmen" met. To the ordinary observer, it sounds like a riddle. But to the seeker, it is a map of the universe.
