Today is the birth anniversary of one of the greatest of the modern poets of the Shaktic tradition â Kazi Nazrul Islam.

Shyamala-Sangeet or the Bengali devotional music for the Mother Goddess is more accessible for even those who are outside the immediate sphere of Bengali tradition. In most of these melodious, soul-stirring hymns, one finds the marvellous poems of Kazi Nazrul Islam along with that of Ram Prasad Sen, an eighteenth-century devotee of Mother Kali.
