Описание: Revival of Charyasongs [Ancient Bengali Buddhist Mystic Songs]

Charyapada were Ancient Bengali Buddhist Mystic Songs. Around thousand years back, in between 650 to 1100 AD, Ancient poets wrote and performed Charyapada by singing, dancing and acting. Such music trend is still marked in contemporary Baul songs. Researchers found elements of Baul songs in the Charyapada. In 1200 AD Muslim invasion became great threat for Charyapada practices. But the manuscript of this literature was somehow preserved in the Royal Library of Nepal. Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Shastri discovered the manuscript from the mentioned Library in 1907 and Kolkata University published it in 1916. At that time Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Shastri commented that the verses of Charyapada were sung in traditional Bengali musical from, like Kirtan. From time immemorial till today the Bajryajanee Buddhist Sadhaka openly or in sly continue practicing Charya-centric austerity, music and dance.

In the above context, Bhābanagara Sadhusanga, a programme of Bhābanagara Foundation, since 2015 has been a practice based action of reviving Charya-song. In course of time around one thousand sadhaka singers all over Bangladesh are practicing Charya Songs on regular basis. There is Paharpur BuddhaBihara Charya Charcha Kendra at Somapura Mahavihara in Naogaon. This place was one of the Charya sadhana centers of ancient Bengal and so the members of Paharpur BuddhaBihara Charya Charcha Kendra continue their practice at their own residences and in the Bihara premises.
