Spirit Trance.. Baul song from Nabani Das Khyappa Bauls written by his great friend Neela Kantha, Nabani would sing this song all the time, video and singing by Babukishan Das Baul

In the moment of your last breath,

How shall you remember the Name of your Lord?

All your life whatever your mind wanted, it was granted,

Now will you say the Name of your Lord for once?

Alas! This mouth will come to cease to speak!

... Alas these eyes will come to cease to see!

How this ear will come to cease to listen!

Think now my friend: in the moment of your last breath,

How shall you remember the Name of your Lord?

How many things to eat, chew, lick and drink,

How many precious metals, diamonds and pearls to wear.

What shall you give to this dying? Alas, nothing..

This Song writer cries,

May my last breath goes out with Your Name O Lord!

At Your Lotus Feet may I find my place.

Kemon kore bolbi Hari moroner dine?

Bodon jaha cheyecho tai diyechi,

E Hari Naam bolba kina, Bodoney e?

Moroner dine, kemon kore bolbi Hari?

In the moment of your last breath,

How shall you remember the Name of your Lord?

All your life whatever your mind wanted, it were granted,

Now will you say the Name of your Lord for once?

Bodon re tui bolbi kina, Noyon re tui herbi kina, re?

Ore koron dore tui shunbi na?

Ore Korno thakbi kina shorone, Moroner dine?

Kemon kore bolbi Hari, Moroner dine?

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.
