This is a Baul fusion style song. In the video you will see pictures of Babukishan's family home in Kolkata, the temple in Shantiniketan, Birbhum W Bengal where there is a Statue of Nabani Das Khyeppa Baul, Babu's grandfather.
The statue was commissioned by Rabindranath Tagore. There is a picture of the statue and the second picture is of Babu standing with the statue. There are photos of his Baul family temple, the alter, tulsi, and his grandparents samadhi.
There is a photo of Babu with the Tara Pith Temple peopl from 2007 , photos of Dakinashwar Temple in Kolkata, Babu was a monk for 12 years in the Ramakrishna order. There is also a rare photo of Kali Ma and Lord Shani from a temple in Bengal.
This really gives a good depiction of Baul and Bengal.
There is no Baul without Birbhum W Bengal, they are from the soil and soul of Bengal and there is no Bengal without the Bauls the two go hand in hand. This one and only lineage is indigenous to the land, they are an ancestral indigenous lineage. There is only one lineage of Baul they are called the Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls of Birbhum W Bengal India. The Gosia Chand Das Baul and Dasi.
The only way anybody knows anything about Baul is through Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul who pioneered Baul in every way first in Bengal, then all of India and then worldwide, globally.
This lineage does not follow others they are based on Sanatan Dharma and only synergistic within Hinduism. They are not Buddhist Sahaja, they are Krishna and Dattatreya Sahaja.
Do not copy or poach, there has big huge cultural appropriation and indigenous identity theft for decades, their songs, style, dress, where they go and what they have already achieved as Baul history. Sad but true who you see today fundraising to preserve Baul is fake, Baul already has been preserved by Babu Kishan in every way over 6 decades, do not donate or give money to faker pretendian fraudster non-indigenous Bauls.
