No dogma. No masters. No capitalism. Only the burning truth of the heart and the fight against Zulum.
They ask me for my religion, and I show them my scars from fighting injustice. They ask for my prayer rug, and I show them the soil of Ghoshpur.
I am Baba Ghoshpuri. I do not bind myself to the stone walls of dogma. I believe in Haq (Truth) and Ishq (Divine Love). To love God is to love His creation, and to love His creation is to fight the systems that starve, oppress, and divide them.
Anarchism is my politics. Sufism is my soul.
We stand firmly against oppression in all forms. Silence in the face of injustice is complicity.
The commodification of the human soul is the greatest sin. We believe in equity, communal living, and sharing resources.
Love is not passive. Love is a fire that burns away the ego and the structures of control.
We stand in undying solidarity with the resistance. From the river to the sea, the land will be free.
"The liberation of the soul is incomplete without the liberation of the land."
We honor the martyrs of the July Revolution. The student-led uprising that broke the chains of fascism in Bangladesh.
"The blood of the youth is the ink of our new history."
God is beautiful and loves beauty. We find the divine in the frames of cinema, the ink of books, and the chords of resistance.
