Ramprasadi (Bengali: রামপ্রসাদী) is the songs composed by eighteenth century Bengali saint-poet Ramprasad Sen. They are usually addressed to Hindu goddess Kali and written in Bengali language.[1][2][3][4]


Influence

Ramprasad Sen was the first shakta poet to address Kali with such as intimate devotion and to sing of her as a tender loving mother or even as a little girl. He is credited with creating a new compositional form that combined the Bengali folk style of Baul music with classical melodies and kirtan. After him, a school of shakta poets continued the Kali-bhakti tradition. Krishna Chandra Roy, Siraj ud-Daulah, Rabindranath Tagore, Kazi Nazrul Islam were immensely inspired by the songs of Ramprasad.[1][2][3][4] Many of his songs were sung by famous Shyama sangeet singers like Dhananjay Bhattacharya, Pannalal Bhattacharya and Anup Ghoshal.
