Babu Kishan's 4th Book, a tell all 'HISTORICAL LINEAGE BAUL' will be released soon. He has 'ARCHIVED and PRESERVED' this ONE and ONLY LINEAGE of Baul History for over 50 years. His family has taken Baul out of the village of Bengal India to India and the world over the past 100 years ago. Vaishnava Tantric Baul has a very long history and her-story. Baul is extinct. Baul is the combination of 2 Sanskrit words Vayu and Tula- Batula, Bengali's use a B for V(ayu). Copyright!

Generic Bauls were never associated with Bob Dylan or 'Allen Ginsberg' as many sites report! Only Babu Kishan was for decades. Initially his Father & Uncle met Dylan in 1967 as can be seen on the cover of Bob Dylans Album 'John Westley Harding', it was Laxshman Das Baul that Dylan asked about every time Babu saw him, they had a instant connection. It was Babu Kishan who reunited his dad with Dylan after 18 years. It was only Babu Kishan that kept in touch and had music business association with Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan has never been to India, as embarrassing as this is, it was reported as FAKE news in India by Babu's youngest brother who has never, ever had any contact with Dylan? Bob Dylan was in Brazil at the time of his Younger brothers wedding (period).. check it out.

Bob Dylan being in India -

is Fake News!

When Babu Kishan worked for CBS India 1986 - 1993 he released, marketed and promoted all Bob Dylan's Albums in India. Babu Kishan has personally known Bob Dylan and if it not for Babu Kishan who was a super fan and his encouraging RV PANDIT to release all Bob Dylan's albums in India, no one in India would have known who Bob Dylan is in India in the 1980 and 1990's. It was due to Babu Kishan that the people of India were able to know Bob Dylan.

Babu has been inspired by Dylan his whole life and gave him
the name 'Western Baul'.

Babu tried to bring Bob Dylan to India between 1986 to 1993 while he was the A/R Manager at CBS India, however, and unfortunately in those days very few people in India knew who Bob Dylan was. Unfortunately Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das could not get sponsorship for the concert, he tried over many years by promoting and marketing Bob Dylan to India.

It is a curious matter some in Bengal and even more curious that Bangladeshi Bauls claim to know Bob Dylan??? No no they do not! Now all claiming that all of the Bauls are associated with Bob Dylan, this is not true. Babu's father and uncle initially met Dylan at the BiG Pink in 1967 in Woodstock, no other Bauls in Bengal or Bangladesh ever had anything to do with Bob Dylan.

After 18 years Babu Kishan through his travels to America on his own met Al Aronowitz, George Harrison, Allen Ginsberg, The Band (Levon Helm) and others who associated with Bob Dylan, it was during this time period that he developed a relationship with Dylan. Babu Kishan became good friends with all because of his musical ability not because of being a Baul. Babu Kishan is a Master of India Classical, Folk, Baul and Bollywood (Indian Cinema) music. He has a Masters degree and has composed over 150 music scores, please see his resume. He is not just a regular Baul, he is a Master of Indian Music and he composed all of his father's music.

Babu is the only Baul that is associated with Dylan other than initially his father and uncle who met him Woodstock USA and they are on the cover of Bob Dylans album 'John Westley Harding'.

Bob Dylan never went to a wedding in Calcutta secretly or otherwise in 1990, he was on a 'Never Ending Tour' that took him to Brazil in 'January of 1990' when the wedding took place and as far away from India that one can get. In 1990 Bob Dylan he was in Brazil, Europe, Canada and then to the USA . Dylan did 93 concerts in 1990.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Ending_Tour_1990

Dylan did not teleport to Calcutta for 2 hours and if you know India, just imagine flying to Delhi or Bombay in 1990 for your first trip to India. Then because Calcutta did not have an International Airport catching another airplane flying to Calcutta for a secret wedding of a person you did not know?

Babu Kishan has performed in at least 40 concerts with Bob Dylan and The Band jamming every night with the Band through the concert and had a relationship visiting America every year since the 1980's. He has Jammed with the Rolling Stones in America, London and India. He is not just a Baul he is a multi talented musician playing over 15 instruments and a India Cinema Composer, he has a Masters Degree in Indian Music.

Dylan would have done this without telling the person who managed his records in India, a person who had been trying to bring you to India and then secretly behind that persons back attending that person own brother's wedding who you didn't even know without ever saying a work?? There was one white guy wearing a Red Kurta from California but he was not Bob Dylan?? Babu's middle brother who married the younger brother and his wife was there 24/7 he says there is no way Bob Dylan was there. A fabricated story that has become fake news, reported over and over. Sorry folks.

The news of Dylan in India is fake news and it has been confirmed from many sources. Including Bob Dylan's own son Jacob Dylan whom Babu chatted with just this past August, he said there is no way my Dad has ever been to India, never ever.

The first person that would have known if Bob Dylan came to India would have been Babu Kishan because he was in close contact with him trying to bring him to India in 1990 unfortunately, it did not happen, Bob Dylan has never been to India and certainly never to Calcutta?

Babu Kishan was the only person in his family who had any private contact information for Bob Dylan and Babu Kishan kept that information with him in Bombay at his place of work CBS. Babu did not send a wedding invite to Bob Dylan to attend his brothers wedding and his brother and father in Calcutta had not contact with Bob Dylan.

Babu's family in Calcutta did not even have any contact with Bob Dylan?

Dylan did not know who Babu's younger brother was and his father Purna Das Baul was never on Bob Dylans mind, as Dylan only asked Babu Kishan about Laxshman Das Baul. Bob Dylan never had any lasting relationship with Purna Das Baul since 1967 when the picture was taken on the cover of Bob Dylans album, Dylan was closer to Laxshman Das Baul.

Babu's younger brother is a liar, who is a negative influence of his elder father.

I have no idea why Journalists do not dig deeper, why they believe one or two sources who obviously have an agenda.

Why speak out, because it is a huge embarrassment when you know the truth and others (media) just copy and paste from one source without even investigating. Journalism used to be investigative, today it is just copy and paste. There is a simple remedy to this interview the people involved.

Interview Bob Dylan first!

Interview Babu Kishan who you probably didn't know was the guy in charge of Dylan in India and that shows a lack of journalist skills, interview the middle brother who married the fools, and look at Bob Dylan's tour schedule?

Babu Kishan, 1986-1993 / CBS India
Music Producer, Creative Director India, promoter, of artist such as Cindy Lauper, Micheal Jackson, New Kids, Bob Dylan on the Block, Pink Floyd, Gypsy Kings and many others.

NEVER ENDING TOUR 1990

Babu Kishan arranged with Bob Dylan to go on his Tour of America in the 1980's and Babu brought along his Father and Mother along as the Bauls of Bengal. His mother and father only went on a couple of performances.

Everything Babu did was always with the thought of his 'Fathers career as he was his fathers manager and arranged all his tours and travels up until 1991, he worked for his father for over 20 years' and started traveling with his father in 1971. His thought was how can I help my father always on his mind, his own career took a back seat.

Anybody, who knew Babu knew how he sacrificed his own career for his parents. They performed with Bob Dylan approximately ten times all over America in the mid 80's due to Babu Kishan arranging the tour, it was arranged through Babu's friendship with Bob Dylan.

All content on this blog is the sole property of Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das. Please ask Babu directly before you name drop from his stories and lineage! No poaching, stealing, hijacking - by taking names off and recreating fake stories or stealing anything from this blog. This Blog is designed and written by Trishula Das who is Babu Kishan's wife of 16 years, listening to Baul for 24/7. Please do not copy these stories, rework them and then put your own name the stories or add other Baul names from fake lineages, there are no other lineages of Baul, there is no need for these people to fundraise as saviours of Baul because Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan decades ago (1960- now). Please do not reprint and twist, turn, cherry picking, using names from Babu's life but making it generic, the cheaters say Baul Masters, because they do not know the names of the Bauls, they use everything from this lineage but make Baul GENERIC, saying Bauls do not care, but yet fundraise to preserve Baul, they dance around Nabani Das Style with Baya (hand drum at waist) Ektara and ankle bells but have made up a lineage?? This is Cultural Mis-Appropriation.

The content of this Blog will be expanded on and included in 'Historical Baul' to be released 2022/23 better late than never, even though this is Babu Kishan's 4th book on Baul, the others are out of print from 1980's. Baul has been overworked, reworked so many times over, nobody would even know what is real and what is fake.

When anyone cuts the names and stories of this lineage off the stories and then replaces their names on these stories this is wrong. It is a fact that no one in India or around the World only know about Baul because of this family lineage.

This lineage is the first and only Pioneering Lineage to bring Baul out of the village in Birbhum to the World.

Some others were invited to travel with them or followed them, trying to do what they have already done, then Riding on the Coat Tails of this lineage saying they are they are first, they are not, the first Women Baul to travel around the world starting in 1969 was Manju Das before internet.

Copying what Babu Kishan and his family have already done is miseducating the public because many are making astronomical claims that are not true. Yet they are singing the songs of this lineage but adding other peoples names, this is a cultural appropriation. There is a Baul History and Her-story and this story was complete decades ago.

The real Baul is extinct! Babu Kishan has ARCHIVED BAUL decades ago, it has been done, it is complete. This will be presented one by one. This is important because 'Newcomers to BAUL', are watering down, reducing and dumbing down Baul. The speculation on who the Bauls are is mind boggling. Scholars have never got it right, they only speculate or talk to the wrong people. These statements will be qualified one by one.

Babu Kishan has preserved his one and only'Lineage Baul' because he could fore tell the change Baul was even going through back in the 1970's.

No one in this world would know who the Bauls of Bengal are without all the work of this family, this lineage and Babu Kishan. All Bauls follow this lineage, this lineage is ancient and they do not follow anybody.

The new Baul singers, follow this lineage by singing their songs, by dressing as they dress, by following them around the world and by meeting their friends.

Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Rabindranath Tagore, Osho and many others were only associated with this family and this lineage.

Babu Kishan is the eldest in his generation of Vaishnava Tantric Bauls, he is Nabani Das Khyapa Bauls eldest Grandson and raised by Nabani and Brajabala from Birth til he was 8 years of age, they instilled in him that he preserve his Lineage Baul and this he completed decades ago. It has been done and will only be presented in time.
