Baithak Foundation believes that music exposure and education are as important as mainstream education.

Since 2016, we are working towards creating a society with equitable music access and learning opportunities for children from the most marginalised communities.

Pune Kabir Festival 2025

The annual celebration of saint poetry is back!

1st and 2nd Feb 2025

Like the clouds covering the sun, Māyā covers our true nature. Kabir says that depending on how one engages with Māyā, it can lead to four outcomes – it can give pleasure, it can destroy, it can unite us with the divine, or it can even take one to hell! 

Register to join!

Saints in general, and Kabir in particular, have had a deep relationship with Māyā. They have suffered on account of her at the same time; it’s her comforting hope that kept them going. Māyā appearing as egotism, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust, anger, and ambition can be pushed away, and we can wake from this dream! 

रमैयाकी दुलहिन लूटा बझारजी!

Māyā is the thief who robs us all. Māyā tricks us into seeing a world of separate things when, in truth, everything is one and connected.

Māyā is illusive and ingrained in everything, so much so that even efforts to escape from her grabs are her manifestations. 

The illusive tree of Māyā imparts two kinds of fruits. The one who eats and spends its fruits gets liberated, and the one who saves them lands on the door of hell.

PKF 2025 is scheduled on Saturday 1st Feb and Sunday 2nd Feb.
