This is a piece of Baul history that is dear to Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das Bauls) heart. What he created, spending years of his personal time, in the end to be totally mismanaged, changed and torn apart.
This is a history that was the last straw that pushed him to decide his time was better spent in Indian Cinema in Bombay. This is the original first part of the story, today anyone from Bengal can see what is going on in the media today about the sacred place that Krishnendu Das aka Babu Kishan (his Indian Cinema name) because he did not want to ride on the coattails of his famous fathers name Purna Das Baul.
There is always more to a story than what one knows. Please refrain from speculations or as some cosplayer Bauls will tell you they know they story, they don't, they just say whatever, is in their benefit because they are hunting and dropping statements that they are the next Purna Das Baul, which is impossible. Baul is extinct, after this I will tell you why, it is called shadow footprinting.
No-one can cosplay Baul, they can't be the Next Purna Das Baul, KD Babu Kishan or Nabani Das Khyapa Baul or the next Baul Ambassador all these are 'firsts and lasts' are only part of this singular pioneering indigenous Baul historical Roots of Baul. No you can not follow this lineage everywhere and then claim you are them?

The Unsung Success of Babu Kishan's "Hanuman Chalisa"
Babu Kishan Music has an astounding 3 billion listens on YouTube with T-Series for his iconic "Hanuman Chalisa." This entire Hanuman album was not only produced by Babu Kishan, he also composed the music for it, wrote the lyrics for the other Hanuman Bhajans on the album, and personally funded its recording. This is the first ever Hanuman Chalisa commercialy recorded and it is played in all temples of India. Music Composed, arranged, paid for and concieve by KD Babu Kishan in the early 1980s.
Tragically, Babu Kishan's master
recording of the "Hanuman Chalisa" was stolen from his Juhu studio. This
theft has a significant history, leading to millions in profits for
record companies, none of which ever reached KD Babu Kishan.
This groundbreaking "Hanuman Chalisa," recorded in the 1980s, was the first ever recorded version and became a staple in temples across India. It features the powerful vocals of the late Hari Om Sharan. Beyond the T-Series numbers, it has accumulated 15 million listens with another company, 20 million on a different site, and millions more across various other platforms, with all these rights sold to different music companies in Bombay.
Babu Kishan's "Hanuman Chalisa" is, in fact, the most listened-to devotional song in Indian history, sung by his dear late friend, Hari Om Sharan. It stands as the first-ever Hanuman Chalisa recording, produced, and music-composed entirely by Babu Kishan.
Billions of people have listened to Babu Kishan's music without ever knowing it's his life's work. Even today, 80% of the recorded Baul music attributed to his father, Purna Das Baul, was produced and composed by KD Babu Kishan, also known as Krishnendu Das.
Shadow Footprinting: The systematic physical retracing of a primary source's historical footprint to absorb its institutional prestige and obscure the original creator 'first and Lasts' of indigenous Baul."Shadow Footprinting"
Shadow Footprinting & Identity Cannibalization:
The systematic ingestion of a primary lineage holder’s lived experiences, personal relationships, academic breakthroughs, and oral body-science tattva ("that-ness," "truth," "reality," or the "essential nature" of things that are Baul), songs, tune, lyrics Baul Kirtan the 108 tattvas only categorized by KD Babu Kishan.
Shadow Footprinting (the method) with Spectral Theft or Archival Squatting (the act) creates an immediate, undeniable diagnosis of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) fraud that cuts straight through marketing spin of 'erasing indigenous Baul by those who are systemically replacing us as cosplyer Baul Artists and self-title Baul Masters'. The indigenous intellectual shadow footprinting of this one and only pioneering indigenous Baul, the shadow footprinting of all their 'firsts and lasts' of historical Baul roots, their songs, dress, style, instruments, where they went, who they met and what they have created as a modern template for the indigenous Bauls to survive the modern world.
Babu Kishan has recorded, preserved the entire lineage there is no new things to preserve no new "firsts and lasts" especially as claimed by the cosplayer fake Bauls who are busy shadow printing and exagerating their who fake lineage. Babu Kishan has written about Baul since the 1970's and is the author 3 previous books, the last one sponsored by George Harrison who had a book release party for Krishnendu Das "Babu Kishan' in LA California in 1985 or 1986 it is written her in this blog, however, after decades I can't remember the exact date.
The lived lives of (Purna Das Baul, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Manju Das, Brajabala Dasi, Radharani Dasi and Krishnendu Das Baul (Babu Kishan's) have been copied and 'shadow footprinted' a remaking, of their actual identity, their 'lived lives' have been retraced, tracked and re-acted out in a 'replacing them by erasing them'. They either were stupid or thought they were clever and nobody would every know, let alone say a word? I have all the reciepts.
They have been shadow footprined and turned into a 'commercial Baul brand' that feeds off the original creator or lineage of indigenous Baul, while attempting to erase their existence, and now represented as a social media influencer, cosplayer Baul.
For decades this has been going on, the cosplayer's have made a career of pretending to be Baul, by stripping the roots of this lineage, purposely erasing us by replacing us, through shadow footprinting this one and only lineage? Now they say they are the replacement for Purna Das Baul a new Purna Das Baul so that they can steal his huge irreplaceable legacy. Impossible and now that we have caught on we will not tolerate this kind of intellectual indigenous fraud.
Shadow Footprinting & Archival Squatting:
The hostile strategy of occupying the exact institutional coordinates, university archives, sacred ashrams, and international performance venues where the true lineage made history—effectively "squatting" on established cultural authority to deceive audiences into mistaking a modern re-enactment for legitimate heritage.
Shadow Footprinting & Spectral Theft:
"The deliberate copying of the historical roots, physical locations, and ancestral legacy of a primary source, alongside the philosophical and colonial impact of this deception—rebranding, remaking, tracking all of this lineage, "firsts and lasts" in Baul History, and replacing the authentic roots of Baul with performative cosplay acting.
Shadow Footprinting & Chronological Hijacking:
The exploitation of public memory loss and modern search engine algorithms by flooding the digital landscape with recent, high-volume youtube media that co-opts original terminology (Historical Baul, Roots of Baul)—overwriting older historical records to make the synthetic copy appear as the sole surviving authority.
Claiming you are the next Purna Das Baul or Baul Ambassador both indigenous one and only in Baul history. Claiming you are Baul, your Guru was Baul and that you actually are a lineage Baul when 100% it can be proven you are not. The indigenous intellectual property theft can be proven.
The modern template of Baul that Babu Kishan created was only for indigenous Bauls, his ancestors who were poor and marginalized, however the tricker random middle class raised people out of the blue started pretending, cosplaying they were Baul while looting, poaching this lineage songs, dress, style, dance, insturments, shadow footprinting exactly where they went and then making claims they were the legendary Baul? These were not villagers of Birbhum, they were from someone other place in India and outside of India naming themselves Western Bauls?
Reclaiming the Historical Roots of Mystic Baul: A Declaration Against Cultural FraudFor over two decades, we have documented a systematic pattern of cultural theft and historical revisionism directed against the hereditary lineage of Purna Das Baul. External performers with no legitimate initiation (diksha) have copied this family’s music, attire, instrumentation, dance, and lived biographies—shadowing their footprints to fabricate false lineages and profit from the "Guru business."
The True Lineage (Parampara)
13 Generations of Preservation: This lineage represents over thirteen generations of unbroken hereditary transmission, preserving Baul tradition through periods of war, famine, and religious persecution by orthodox authorities who burned their sacred texts and decried their Tantric roots.
The Root in Birbhum: Authentic Baul is rooted in the soil of Birbhum, West Bengal. Historically, there were no "Bauls" in Bangladesh, nor was the tradition historically synonymous with regional Fakir or Sufi sects until Purna Das Baul popularized the art form globally in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Legacy of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul: Displaced refugees who arrived in West Bengal during Partition and the 1971 war frequently imitated the style, instruments, and presence of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul—the sole Baul practitioner initiated by Bamakhepa at the Tarapith cremation grounds.
Indigenous Rights and the Mechanics of Misappropriation There is a fundamental difference between cultural appreciation and cultural misappropriation. According to United Nations standards on indigenous rights, the systematic poaching, falsification, and commercial exploitation of an indigenous group's heritage constitutes indigenous fraud and erodes the right to self-determination.
The core teachings of this lineage were historically protected through Sandhya Bhasha—an esoteric twilight language blending oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhasha, and Birbhum Bengali. Commercialization and academic reductionism have severely distorted these teachings, misinterpreting concepts like Vayu Tula and incorrectly labeling Baul as an illiterate, Buddhist Sahajiya, or purely syncretic movement.
Baul is fundamentally Atma Tattva (knowledge of the Self) and Atma Lila (the divine expression of the Soul). The upcoming three-volume trilogy stands as a formal reclamation of the authentic, pioneering, and singular historical roots of Mystic Baul.

A True Pioneer of World Music and Cultural Diplomacy
Early Global Footprint: Babu Kishan was representing Indian culture across the US and Europe as far back as 1971, long before the modern diaspora arrived abroad.
Pioneering Fusion: He created the first authentic Indian Fusion and Baul Fusion music. He toured the US playing 40 concerts with Bob Dylan & the Band, jamming with The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, and Miles Davis and many others.
Bollywood Legend: He served as an assistant to his Bollywood Music Guru, R.D. Burman, for 13 years. He helped establish major record labels in Mumbai, categorized India's vast folk music catalog for industry producers, and was among the original architects who helped coin and shape "Bollywood."
He is not a self-titled Baul he is the Roots of Historical Baul and he is not a self-titled music composer, he is educated in Indian Music since birth and has been qualified both academically and through the highest Music Composers in Indian History who all signed for him and let him compose Music for them, RD Burman, Ravindra Jain, Naushad Ali, Laxmikant Pyrelal and Bapi Lahari. In Babu Kishans music compositions he has employed the top of Indian's talent as musicians.
Linguistic & Classical Mastery: A high-level oral and classical Sanskritist, he speaks and has recorded in an extraordinary range of Indian languages. He was the first artist to record the Hanuman Chalisa for modern commercial releases.
Official State Representation: For over 40 years, he served as an official Cultural Representative of India globally under the Sangeet Natak Akademi (Indian National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama) and the ICCR (Indian Council for Cultural Relations).
The Composer Behind the Legend
Beyond his work as an independent artist, (Babu Kishan tknown professionally in Bombay) and Krishnendu Das in Calcutta film and Music Industry )composed over 80% of the music for his father, Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul. Those recordings became the most critically and commercially successful albums of Purna Das Baul's career and they were copied and re-recorded with no credit by pretenian, cosplayers, called the fake it til you make it Bauls that arrived as refugees from Bangladesh. This is part of the reclamation of Baul, correcting these wrongs that haved done with the looting, poaching of Baul and who really is Baul.
You cannot replace a lifetime of primary achievement by creating a fake IMDb profile, posing as an academic, or teaching distorted fabrications about a sacred indigenous science. The historical record is permanent, verifiable, and absolute.

Saying you are the next 'Purna Das Baul' is Shadow foot printing and indigenous theft. Baul Samrat Pandit (Padma Shree) Purna Chandra Das Baul is one of the most highly awarded Singers of India he is a Baul pioneer, nobody in this world would know about Baul without Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and their eldest Krishnendu Das Baul (Babu Kishan) this one and only indigenous pioneering with all the 'first and last' regarding Baul can not be claimed or replaced, Baul was complete decades ago.
Purna Das Baul was awarded a Padma Shree and many other awards historically winning awards from a list of Presidents and PM, Minister over a lifetime. He is the first and last only Legendary Baul along with Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, and regarding Baul women only Braja Dasi, Radharani Dasi, and Manju Das- the wife of Purna Das Baul who is he ONLY Baul women ever to travel the world since the late 1960s to 2010 when she passed away.
Making, stealing these women's place in Baul History is 'shadow FOOT-printing' this lineage, using Legendary Women is a gross injustice and lie to this indigenous roots of Baul. Purna Das Baul is 93 years old a historical figure on all levels within India. His ancestors the ones who preserved, held, giving up their lives life and life to do seva, social work, teaching, feeding, healin the villagers of Birbhum West Bengal the birth place soil and soul of Baul (The Vaishnava Sahajiya (Gosia Chandra) Das Baul and Dasi. will be rolling in the soil if we do not tell the truth. Truth is the first tenant of Baul.
Self-titling that you are now the Baul Ambassador, when this title is a first and last only known and copied from Babu Kishan's writings by stalking all the wording that belong only to this singular Baul pioneering parampara is Shadow Footprinting & Identity Cannibalization along with Archival Squatting. A title given only to Purna Das Baul, Manju Das and KD Babu Kishan who were the only Baul representatives of India through the ICCR. Babu Kishan had all the contacts for decades. This may not mean anything to anybody, however, it is a serious insideous shadow printing & Archival Squatting
It should be know that the song (poetry) & tune for #KichhuDinMoneMone is a song from this lineage, it is the Poetry of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. It was recorded first by Purna Das Baul at one of India's first record companies Hindustan Records under Pankaj Mallick and Rai Chand Boral. It
was copied right off of Babu Kishan's youtube channel and re-recored
without permission by a female cosplaying Baul who created a fake
lineage and fake Baul Guru. I won't use any names until the books are
released, however, these people are shadow footprinting this lineage
from day one in every way. They will be exposed, you in the west think
they are authentic Baul Artists and a Baul Master, they are self-titled
Baul Masters who have poached the life out of Lineage Baul. We are
exploring legal action.
RabindraNath Tagore started the first Baul archive all based on Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and
Babu Kishan is the only Baul to 'Preserve and ARCHIVE' Baul in a big way and that was done decades ago.
1. Institutional Recognition & Historical Firsts
State Honors: Purna Das Baul was conferred the title Baul Samrat by the President of India and honored with the title Nada Brahma.
Cultural Ambassadors: Purna Das Baul, Manju Das, and KD Babu Kishan were named official Baul Ambassadors by the ICCR in the 1970s—a historic "first and last" designation.
National Heritage: Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, the last Baul Avadhut, served as the sole Baul Guru to Rabindranath Tagore and performed across India during the Independence Movement at the invitation of Jawaharlal Nehru.
2. Mechanics of "Shadow-Footprinting" and Intellectual Fraud Over the past thirty years, digital platforms, university lecture circuits, and social media have enabled the systematic copying of this single family’s heritage:
Digital Scraping: Content, terminology, and oral histories first published on BabuKishan.com (1990s–2006) were plagiarized to build fraudulent social media followings and commercial workshops.
Music & Composition Piracy: KD Babu Kishan composed over 80% of the arrangements and tunes made famous by his father, Purna Das Baul. These compositions continue to be re-recorded and distributed without credit or permission.
Historical Revisionism: The groundbreaking achievements of Manju Das (the first traditional Baul woman to tour internationally), KD Babu Kishan’s 12-year monastic service with the Ramakrishna Mission, and the family's historical ties to the Gaudiya Math are now routinely co-opted by uninitiated performers.
3. Preserving the True Roots Commercial opportunists have watered down the tradition, co-opting terms and claiming ownership of sacred history—even attempting to appropriate the title of our upcoming trilogy, Historical Baul and the Roots of Baul.
Authentic Baul is not a commercial brand or an exotic costume. It is a sacred, indigenous heritage preserved through the lived sacrifices of Krishnendu Das Baul (KD Babu Kishan), the eldest lineage holder of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and Purna Das Baul.
Key Revisions & Terminology Standardized
Nada Brahma: Standardized spelling for the Sanskrit concept of "Divine Sound / Sound as God."
Baul Samrat: Corrected spelling for the title "Emperor of Bauls."
ICCR: Maintained as the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.
Charyapada: Standardized spelling for the ancient 8th–12th century Vajrayana/Sahajiya mystical songs often debated in Bengali literary history.
Shadow-Footprinting: Preserved as your key defined term for the systematic tracking, copying, and appropriating of a family's lived history and intellectual property.
Documentation Archive: 20+ Years (2006–2026)
Primary Lineage: Lineage of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Baul Samrat Padma Shri Pandit Purna Chandra Das Baul, Manju Das, and Krishnendu Das Baul (KD Babu Kishan)
Overview
This executive summary introduces the empirical evidence documented over two decades exposing the systematic misappropriation, digital piracy, and "shadow-footprinting" of the unbroken, 13-generation hereditary Baul lineage of Birbhum, West Bengal. Ahead of the release of the upcoming three-volume historical trilogy, this documentation establishes a definitive record against indigenous cultural fraud, historical revisionism, and the unauthorized commercial exploitation of Baul heritage.
Key Findings & Evidence Categories
Digital Scraping & Intellectual Property Theft (1990s–2026):
Archived web analytics, screenshots, and digital timestamps confirm the unauthorized harvesting of proprietary content, oral histories, and specific terminology originally published on BabuKishan.com and associated archival platforms. These primary source materials were systematically co-opted to build commercial websites, social media followings, and unaccredited academic lectures.
Musical Piracy & Composition Misappropriation:
KD Babu Kishan composed and arranged over 80% of the modern repertoire made famous by his father, Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul. The documentation logs instances of uncredited re-recordings, stolen melodies, and unauthorized distribution of proprietary compositions across global streaming platforms without licensing or attribution.
Biographical Co-Optation & "Shadow-Footprinting":
Detailed comparative timelines demonstrate how non-initiated, self-appointed performers have systematically copied the lived history, travel itineraries, stage attire, and performance styles of Purna Das Baul, Manju Das (the first international female Baul ambassador), and KD Babu Kishan. Key historical milestones—including KD Babu Kishan’s 12-year monastic service with the Ramakrishna Mission and the family’s pioneering work with the ICCR—have been falsely claimed by external actors.
Distortion of Core Philosophy & Terminology:
The archive documents the rise of reductionist narratives that conflate Baul Sahaja with Buddhist Sahajiya or reduce esoteric concepts like Vayu Tula to rigid medical conditions. The documentation reaffirms that authentic Baul is an innate, ancestral transmission (Atma Tattva) protected through Sandhya Bhasha (twilight language), rather than an illiterate or syncretic commercial commodity.
Historical Significance & Lineage Authority
Purpose Upcoming Trilogy
The upcoming three-volume publication serves as a formal, legal, and historical reclamation of the authentic roots of Mystic Baul. Grounded in United Nations principles regarding the rights of indigenous peoples to protect their cultural heritage and self-determination, this project directly challenges non-indigenous fraud, provides verifiable evidence of historical priority, and restores the rightful legacy of Birbhum's premier Baul parampara.
Spectral Identity Theft: The practice of haunting and occupying another person’s historical coordinates—their awards, institutional stops, performance venues, and network—until the public mistake the ghost for the original inhabitant.
Archival Squatting / Retrospective Squatting: Systematically claiming association with historical archives, prestigious institutions, or spiritual centers that were originally established by the true lineage holders, effectively "squatting" on their historical reputation.
Identity Cannibalization: The total ingestion of a primary source’s lived experience, oral traditions, and public milestones, regurgitating them as one's own personal origin story to achieve commercial success.
Chronological Hijacking: Exploiting the passage of time and the public's short memory span to overwrite older, authentic primary sources with modern, high-volume digital content.
Ersatz Colonization: The process where non-lineage actors use synthetic, performative copies to colonize and commodify an indigenous tradition from within, replacing the original bloodline with a market-friendly substitute.
Why This Is Indigenous Fraud and ICIP Theft
To establish without a shadow of a doubt that this practice is fraudulent under international standards (such as UNDRIP Article 31), the argument rests on three core pillars:
THE THREE PILLARS OF ICIP FRAUD
│
┌───────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼
1. THEFT OF LIVED REALITY 2. FABRICATED PARITY 3. INTENTIONAL ERASURE
Taking another's real-life Recreating historical footprints Overwriting primary records
experiences and lineage history. to claim equal authority. to cause audience amnesia.
The Theft of Lived Reality (Not Just Style): Artistic inspiration involves learning a style; Indigenous fraud involves stealing a lived, historical reality. When a performer doesn't just sing a genre's songs, but actively tracks down the primary source's personal contacts, re-enacts their specific historical institutional appearances, and claims their family's historical milestones, they are stealing a life story.
Manufactured Parity through Shadowing: Because external performers lack Adhikara (authorized lineage transmission) and ancestral root authority (Beeja), they cannot generate genuine tradition from within. They must physically and institutionally track the real lineage to create a false sense of equivalence. If the primary lineage performed at a specific university or archive decades ago, the copy appears at the same venue today to trick modern audiences into assuming an unbroken chain of authority.
Exploiting Digital Amnesia for Total Replacement: Public memory is short, and digital algorithms prioritize recent, high-volume content over older, physical archives. Modern actors leverage this "collective amnesia" by flooding digital platforms with search terms, titles, and concepts (Historical Baul, Roots of Baul) pioneered by the original lineage. The goal of this strategy is total replacement: making the original creator a ghost in their own history while the copy collects awards, grants, and public acclaim.
Framing the Legal & Historical Distinction
To permanently separate authentic history from manufactured spectacle in your writing:
Historical Real: Defined by biological continuity, primary-source documentation, state-recognized honors bestowed directly on lineage heads (e.g., Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul), and mouth-to-ear internal body-science (Deha Tattva).
Manufactured Fake: Defined by external costuming, paid public relations campaigns, digital scraping of living authors' works, and the systematic retracing of another family's historical footsteps to claim unearned status.
“When people steal from our culture they end up distorting our culture, they turn it into something we do not even recognize, erasing us by replacing us.”
They re-package a watered-down or romanticized version. The mainstream world then accepts the fake/distorted version as authentic, effectively erasing the original living caretakers and replacing them in the public consciousness. I have see this in academia, and in the western audiences who do not have a clue, if it sweetly smiles and looks exotic it must be, whether their lineage is fake, their style and songs are appropriated, they have not got a clue.
When a sacred song, medicine, or teaching is taken out of its traditional lineage, it loses its spirit or in this case Baul essence (the Shakti that has been passed down for hundreds of years). When the dominant society spreads that distorted version, the original community is erased because their true practice is no longer recognized—even by their own youth who grow up seeing only the mainstream caricature.

Baul and Ramakrishna is only associated with KD Babu Kishan as he is the only Baul to be a monk in the Ramakrishna Mission for 12 years, this is a first and last in Baul.
Baul and Tantra is only associated with Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and KD Babu Kishan, Baul and Tarapith is only associated with them both too. Those others are not Baul as Baul Artist of an non-indigenous Baul is not a Baul but a users, poser, actor trying to remake the already lived lives of this parampara, do you speak the language, do you know what they are singing or who is the owner of the songs, or even if the songs are Baul songs, no you do not, so don't make emotional promotional comments when you do not even understand. You are cheering for a fake Baul and have no clue.
The practice of "Baul Kirtan-anga" Copyright, all songs will be reclaimed that belong to this lineages.
(only this lineage, parampara, no one used Baul kirtan until they read it on this blog, this is downright appropriation and false advertising by fake opportunistic self-titled so-called Bauls for marketing purposes, they have appropriated this lineages intellectual property, it can be proven and must be brought to the attention of the public because they are asking for donations and fundraising for jackpots, awards, grants and are not Baul, their Guru is a fake Baul Guru.
The "Rasa Lila Mystics" this is the only lineage parampara that is Vaishnava and Vaishnava Sahajiya Gosia Chandra Das Baul and Dasi, there is not another, never was. #BaultheRasaLilaMystics
"Baul Tantra Mantra Gopi Yantra". Copyright, no poaching
"The path of the Avadhuta". Copyright there are no other Baul Avadhuta's and that title only belongs to this lineage or singular parampara, there is not another. They make Baul a no name generic Baul while claiming the intellectual property and the already lived firsts and lasts of this lineage. I have documented thousands of misuse of Baul for over 20 years, if you would like to see my research contact KD Babu Kishan, his website is listed throughout this blog and website
