About Haure Goshai:
Among the Baul khyapas and Sadhakas, Haure Goshai is one of the very few who of the one who has been able to capture the beauty and glory of holy darshan (Nehar), Among the innumerable Baul Padakarta (Lyricists) of undivided Bengal, Houre Gosain is admired for the solemnity of his passion, and the magnificence of deep philosophy. His songs (Pada) are profoundly the touchstone of love by the Rasika, the admirers.
In the full pursuit of the true devotee, he achieved a seat in the world of Baul knowledge and Bhava. Each song composed by him is a holy lotus of spirituality. By listening and meditating on the songs, one can realize that these songs are coming from a true source of deep realization the ultimate attainment of pure meditation. Language was never a barrier with his expression. Sometimes Sadhakas lose their way in Sadhana and can’t find encouragement to move forward.
The esoteric theory of Baul practice is embodied in Houre Gosain’s songs,- Manoshiksha, the psychological teaching, Brajtattva, Gurutattva, Bhaktitattva, and tattva of love-Rasatattva, Dehatattva, as well as Chari Chandra bheda the four moon practice and many more are all influenced by the inspiration of Haure Goshai. However in order to realize the theory of these songs, one has to study in the presence of the Guru, the words of Houre are beyond the world. It is like trying to capture the holy lotus with yantra.”
It is a burden to set foot in this deep forest without Guru’s grace.
His very few songs are sung in general Baul gatherings.

At the age of 16, he received the initiation mantra from his mother and studied Sanskrit scriptures Veda and Tantra with Srimad Basishtananda -a prominent Sanskrit scholar of his village. In many of his Pada a deep realization of Shiva Shakti Upasana comes up…
For a long time, Haure Goshai discussed Bhagavata and Vaishnavism with Srimat Pralhadananda Goswami. He was a resident of Rukunpur in Nadia district. In those days Haure Gosai was deeply attached by the Sahaja Sadhana and he converted to Vaishnavism. At this stage his name became Houre Gosai.
The pursuit of death has gained special importance in the Baul tradition. This practice of choosing the time and place of death gives a unique status to the devotee. Haure Gosai chose a holy Baishaki full moon as the departure day of his long life. In 1317 (BS) he passed away in the presence of his dear devotees at the Asharam built by Madhusudan Roy of Kamardanga near Entali in Calcuttau
