Mast Magan
Workshop
Kabir ke Shabad with Tara Singh Dodve Ji
January 22-24, 2027
Bodhigram Empowerment Centre
Thano Village, Dehradun
An Invitation
Hello Saathiyon,
This is a soulful invitation to deep dive into the living world of Kabir and other mystic saints with Malwi folk artist Tara Singh Dodve Ji. Over three simple, wisdom and music‑filled days at Bodhigram, we sit close, learn shabads line by line, and explore how their wisdom can quietly transform our everyday life.
What is Mast Magan Workshop?
MastMagan Workshop is an intimate, heart‑centred workshop where the guide hold the space. Instead of a festival with many performances, this is a slow baithak – we sit together in circles, listen, sing, ask questions, and allow Kabir and other Saints’ words to touch our own real situations.
Across three days, you will:
-
Learn a few selected shabads from Kabir and other mystic saints in call‑and‑response style.
-
Understand the meaning, context, and bhaav behind each line.
-
Reflect on how these teachings speak to love, family, money, work, anger, ego, and everyday dilemmas.
What awaits you?
Learning the shabad
Tara Singh Ji will teach each song (shabad) slowly – repeating lines, sharing pronunciation, tune, and rhythm – so that even beginners can sing along with confidence.
Arth and Yatharth
Between songs, we will share life experiences, examples, and simple explanations that make Kabir’s words deeply relatable to modern life.
Sangat and quiet
There will be unhurried time for sitting with the words, walking in nature, and informal conversations over chai, in the tranquil campus of Bodhigram.
About Tara Singh Dodve Ji
Tara Singh Dodve is a folk artist from the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, where the oral traditions of Kabir and the Nirgun saints continue to flourish. Deeply rooted in this living heritage, he has spent years singing and sharing the poetry of Kabir and other mystic saints in its authentic folk expression.
At MastMagan Workshop, Tara Singh Ji brings not only music but also the spirit of the Malwa tradition - where singing, contemplation, and everyday life come together. His simplicity, warmth, and intimate connection with the saints' wisdom create a space for participants to experience these teachings as a living tradition rather than merely as literature or philosophy.
