He may not be known to a lot of people but amongst the ASMR community he was a legend. He was an indian Barber who gave head massages and unintentionally became the face of ASMR before it was even a term. He apparently died of Cardiac Arrest yesterday.
His videos personally helped me deal with years of frustration laying in bed in the dark for hours not being able to shut down my thought process. When I first stumbled upon "World's greatest head massage" I found it weirdly relaxing at first but it became something I watched nightly and most of the time I wouldn't even make it to the end of the video before falling asleep. I was always exhausted but could not get out of my head and these videos were almost like a trance and I would feel so soothed that my mind shut off and I passed out within minutes.
From his videos came hundreds more and when a community sprung up around it it became something enormous that continues to grow till this day. Finding out about his passing just really saddened me. He gave something special to this world. Not just ASMR but his passion and energy. Rest In Peace Baba Sen and may your cosmic energy flow forever.
Beautiful documentary about him.
The video that started it all.
His final video and tribute from his friend.
