Babu Kishan is the only Baul who had a long lasting many decades friendship with Allen Ginsberg, he is the only Baul that Ginsberg wrote Baul poetry for. Nabani Das Khyepa Baul was Ginsbergs Baul Guru, Nabani was Babu's Grandfather who raised him from birth and game him the name Krishnendu, Nabani is still to this day his Guru!

The American Poet Allen Ginsberg & Babu Kishan The Indian Poet

Babu Kishan is in the process of writing his personal story of his long friend and friendship with Allen Ginsberg. He is the only Baul who developed a long friendship with Allen Ginsberg.

Of course this friendship has it roots in Babu Kishan's Grandfather 'Nabani Das Khyepa Baul'who was an Avadhuta that Ginsberg met on his trip to India in '1962' and whom he kept a personal and private connection all his life. You can see Babu Kishan's link on Allen Ginsbergs Page under links, miscellany. Babu and Allen are both poets and they were mystical friends.

"We also are indebted to the influence of Allen Ginsberg, who met Nabani Das in the early 1960s and wrote “Indian Journals” and never wavered from his spiritual path; to Albert B. Grossman who brought Nabani’s sons Purna and Luxman Das Baul with their group to the US in 1967 to record for Elektra Records and tour; "

Albert was the Music Producer of Bob Dylan. It was 'Allen Ginsberg' who contacted them to bring Nabani Das Khyapa Baul to America:

"Albert Bernard Grossman (May 21, 1926 – January 25, 1986) was an American entrepreneur and manager in the American folk music scene and rock and roll. He was famous as the manager of many of the most popular and successful performers of folk and folk-rock music, including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Band, Odetta, Gordon Lightfoot and Ian & Sylvia."

It should be noted that it was Allen Ginsberg who wanted to bring Nabani Das Khyepa Baul to America but he refused, thus he sent his two son's, Laxshman Das Baul and Purna Das Baul and their band.

Poetry written by Allen Ginsberg for Babu Kishan

This is the only Baul Poetry Allen Ginsberg wrote.

“Baul of Bengal, I sing for all, Blue Danube is my Jamuna, Hudson my Vrindavan, see me in Calcutta, Toronto and London, Hear my call Baul of Bengal, Same man many names, same player, many games, Love is magic to win at life, Hear my call O Baul of Bengal.”

Written by Allen Ginsberg in 1983,
as a gift to Babu Kishan '

Babukishan composed the music for the original in collaboration with Garth Hudson, Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, (of The Band) Bob Dylan's Band in 1985 for the tour.

This is the one and only piece of Baul poetry Ginsberg wrote. Babu Kishan sang this on 40 city American tour with Bob Dylan and the Band.

Babu became great friends with The Band and jammed with them all the time.

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&Tantra
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.
#BaulKirtan
(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

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

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! Indigenous Baul identity theft is a real thing. 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 almost 20 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. Do not copy place by place, what he has accomplished reworking, retracing work, such as teaching at Universities when you never went to a University, or pretending you ever had an association with the Ramakrishna Mission when Babu Kishan the first and last Baul to attend the Ramakrishna Mission and fundraise for the Ramakrishna Mission for decades. Oh and worst yet do not make lose associations with Indian Cinema when Babu Kishan is the first and last and only Baul to have actually worked in all levels of Management, Filmaker and Music Composer in Indian Cinema (Bollywood). There is no need for fake PRETENDIAN Bauls called Baul Masters or Baul Artists to fundraise as saviours of Baul when Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan decades ago (1960- now) that is over 60 years. Please do not take his name off and tell his stories that can only be known or have only been told by Babu Kishan about his lineage of his Guru Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. Do not reprint and twist, turn, cherry pick, using names from Babu's life with people he knows, then on youtube talk like as if you know when you took it from this blog or his website. Do not make Baul randon or generic, to include yourself, first there is no way you are Baul and your fake Baul Guru and fake lineage are fakes, this is indigenous FRAUD. Nabani Das Style with Baya (hand drum at waist) Ektara and Nupoor style ankle bells, are Nabani Das Khyapa Baul style only, his son Purna Das Baul's style too, cease and desist from using their songs, style, faking this lineage this is indigenous identity theft, it not our fault your fake Baul Guru copied this whole lineage, it is your fault for lying and continuing the indigenous Fraud and even worse now trying to fundraise to preserve Baul when Baul is already preserved, this is indigenous fraud. This is Cultural Mis-Appropriation.

The content of this Blog will be expanded on and included in 'Historical Baul' to be released 2025 this is Babu Kishan's 4th book on Baul, the others are out of print from 1980's. Historical Autobiography of Baul The Rasa Lila Mystics Reclaiming the Indigenous Ancestral Heritage of the Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls of Birbhum BAUL TANTRA- MANTRA- GOPI YANTRA, The path of the Avadhuta (Please do not call yourself an Avadhuta now) LOL 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.
