	Gagan Harkara was a follower of Baul culture. He was a lyric writer and a sweet-voiced singer. He composed the famous lyric: “Ami kothai pabo tare, amar moner manush jere. / Haraye shei manush, tar uddeshe desh bideshe berai ghure” (Where can I find the person of my heart! Losing that person I have been wandering at home and abroad). Gagan sang this lyric to Rabindranath Tagore at Kuthibari and the latter was impressed by it.

Losing that person I have been wandering at home and abroad). Gagan sang this lyric to Rabindranath Tagore at Kuthibari and the latter was impressed by it.

	Gagan used to visit Rabindranath quite frequently to deliver letters, and used to have had discussions about Baul. Rabindranath used to listen to Gagan';s songs on the roof of a boat, and this had a far-reaching impact on his mind. In many of his writings and lectures delivered at home and abroad, he made mention of liberal religion and of the songs of Lalon-Gagan. Especially, in his essay “Manav Dharma” (Religious of Man, 1930), he elaborated on the humanistic philosophy of Baul. Referring to Gagan';s song quoted above, in his lecture titled “An Indian Folk Religion” delivered in France, Rabindranath commented: “The first Baul song, which I chanced to hear with any attention, profoundly stirred my mind.” Later on, he spoke highly about the song in his Introduction to Mansuruddin';s edited work ''~~H''''a''''r''''a''''ma''''n''''i~~'' (1936). It is believed that Harkara';s abovementioned song had an impact on Rabindranath';s hymn “Amar sonar Bangla, Ami tomai bhalobasi” (My Bengal of gold, I love you) which he composed during the time of the Swadeshi Andolan (an all-India Nationalist Movement to boycott foreign-made, Western goods).
