Babu Kishan's aka Krishnendu Das Baul 4th Book 2026, a tell all 'HISTORICAL LINEAGE BAUL' soon. Vaishnava Shahjiya Tantric Baul (Gosia Chand) are the only Baul lineage of Kirtan, Bhakti Tantric parampara. KD Babu Kishan has 'ARCHIVED and PRESERVED' this ONE and ONLY LINEAGE of Baul history for over 60 years, as indigenous people they have a right to their self-determination. This lineage does not follow others, others follow them.

The only Lineage Baul, all Bauls follow Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, his style Ektara, Baya and Nupoor! This picture of Nabani, originally taken by Rabindranath Tagore has been used as the symbol of Baul since the 1920's.

Indigenous fraud and Indigenous identity theft.

https://lineagebaul.blogspot.com/2025/04/fake-pretendian-hawker-baul-critique.html

Nabani Das Khyapa Baul's style was the Ektara (Baya) Nupur (Nupoor), this style of dance and Baul instruments was created by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, the only Khyapa Baul and the only Khyapa Baba of the villagers of Birbhum.

Nabani is the only Baul ever to do Baul dance and songs with these instruments. Nabani had unique footwork too, now appropriated and copied by a person who has made up a fake lineage?

Never giving credit for Nabani songs, his dance and his stories, using the style of this lineage, which you are not part of because you made up a fake lineage? Copying and using, even traveling to where Babu Kishan used to hang out, visiting everywhere he has been?

The Ektara is the one stringed instrument of peace and harmony, in this tradition, this one and only lineage of Baul the Ektara is called the Gopi Yantra.

The Baya is a drum from the tabla set, it is not called a Dupki that is a completely different drum. The drum you copied Nabani is called a Baya?

The Bell style you wear around your ankles is only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul style, and Purna Das Baul style because he is the son of Nabani.

Nupoor is their style of ankle bells from this lineage, which you are absolutely not a part of, but you copy everything, using this lineage random attaching yourself and giving no credit?

Who does that, a fake Baul. In todays world it is a crime to steal from indigenous peoples of any sect.

I have no idea how someone who claims to be a Baul is collecting donations to preserve Baul and does not know what the instruments are called. Collecting people which Baul does not do, Baul never collects people, come and they never say come and join us? Seriously?

Stealing everything Nabani songs and style making up fake lineages and watering down and reducing Baul, destroys the legacy that does not belong to you, however, you have created fake social media fame?

Stop Using Baul if you do not even know what the instruments are called, the Baya that you copied from Nabani is a Baya not a Dupki and a completely different drum.

Again a theft that is reducing and watering down this lineages teachings? Then you tell people Baul does not care who the poets are, because you do not know, yet you steal this lineages poetry, never giving credit.

Intellectual property theft.

Nabani Das Khyapa Baul with Brajabala Dasi, statue of Nabani by Ram Kinkar Baij, even this history has been washed away. This is Nabani Das Khyapa Baul style: Ektara (Gopi Yantra) Baya drum around the waist and his style of ankle bells called nupour. Copied and reclaimed as random by fake social media influencer Bauls who consistently twist the truth to replace this singular parampara by REPLACING THEM or so they think and always try to do. Truth will come out very soon. Nabani made created from his lineage, his parampara - yes ancient but not yours to make short youtube clips and making this lineage random and generic while poaching, stealing indigenous wisdom making false self-determinations, this is indigenous intellectual property theft.

THE BOUNDARIES OF INDIGENOUS TRUTH                     │
1. SOIL,Soul & Ancestry: Baul is ancient. You cannot manufacture a lineage out   
    of a few generations. You are either indigenous to the land or not.  2. SATYA (TRUTH): A middle-class import cannot become a Baul when the    
    first principle of the path—Satya—is violated by living a lie. 3. UNDRIP RIGHTS: Reclaiming this history is a direct act of Indigenous  
    Self-Determination under international United Nations law.            

The reclamation of Baul in its purest, un-sanitized form (Vayu Tula) is happening from the inside out. When these three historical, autobiographical volumes release, the era of using Baul as an international "fundraising jackpot" will be permanently closed.

The Historical Vanguard: Restoring the Real Legacy

Without this specific family, the world would not know the true depth of Baul:

Your guru is not a Baul Guru? Babu Kishna knew him, he knows who he is and he is not a Baul he is a mere follower of Baul. More to come.

Stop trying to make people stupid.

Yes, you are cute and sweet talking but very aggressive, even pretending you teach at Universities, copying Babu Kishan, now your a film-maker, music composer too.?

Teaching that Baul, 'does not come from family's' a wrong teaching. You say Baul sahaja is from Buddhism, Baul sahaja comes from Krishna? Name dropping, peoples names you had nothing to do with or never met, names that certainly never had anything to do with you fake Baul Guru.

Instead of saying that you actually had noting to do with Bob Dylan you swayed the conversation in your favour as if you did, you did not. You sing the songs from this lineage saying the Baul poets did not care because you do not know, you just heard it somewhere like Babu Kishan's youtube listened over and over then added someone elses name stealing Nabani's song and Babu kishan's toon?

Then completely laughable when you sing your own song saying over and over that you composed it. Why even say that if Baul does not care who wrote the poetry?

What a hypocrite and if you actually did research, rather than having your boy do youtube video's mentioning and name dropping things like Nabani even taught a Vishva Bharati taken from this blog and acting like he knows the story of Bob Dylan, which is not his story to tell or your story tell, you show no integrity.

The Vaishnava Tantric Bauls are indigenous peoples from a long family lineage who cares about who wrote the poetry, they know who wrote the poetry and where the tunes came from. They have a long history and her-story before you were even born.

So now you are a music composer too? You are a film-maker too?

Are you just going to copy everything Babu Kishan does?

You are creating more damage than good.

Stop trying to intellectually liquidate this lineage another name for that is steal and theft, what does not belong to you!

Stop using Baul for your enjoyment trying to become another Amma, acting as a Baul, it is a game to you. Big karma's are involved in playing the game you are playing or maybe you are just deluded?

You are not educated properly as a Baul? You know that foreigners do not even understand the language, and you know that you can say whatever you want know one will ever know so who cares, well this lineage cares, this lineage knows who wrote the poetry, this lineage does not like its story, music, style being stolen by a fake.

https://indiafolkheritageofbengal.weebly.com/cultural-misappropriation.html

Commandeering, expropriation, seizure, takeover, usurpation, annexation, attachment, confiscation, grab, reductionism, watering down, reducing, riding on the coat tails of the ones who created a road. The ones who did all the leg work, who wrote the books from inside the tradition, who promoted and introduced the world to Baul, then taking their names off and adding your own names as if you are the one, you have heard of Purna Das Baul and that means you have heard of his wife Manju Dasi, Brajabala Dasi, Radharani Dasi they are legendary, they are the real authentic Baul Women who opened the door of Baul Women to the world, you can not make claims because their history is done, it was completed decades before you.

Singing their songs but saying they are your own, not properly educating what exactly Baul is.

Intellectual Property Theft (Songs from this Lineage, used without giving credit, songs cut down and the singing style changed.

Singing and dancing Ektara, Baya, and Nupoor - Nabani Das Khyapa Baul style without any understanding that they are copying his style.

Nabani created and danced a certain way, all Bauls follow Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and make like it has come from another made up lineage.

This is hurtful and it is cultural appropriation. Baul is extinct and this has to stop, please be respectful. But we know you won't, you will keep on duping people. Before you do anything else, spent a few decades learning only the Vedas and Tantra's before you teach Baul.

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

"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

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.
