The Baul Mystic Drum, called Gubgubi or Khamak, was renamed (Ananda Lahari) only by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul who added a 2nd string thus 2 strings now!

Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das BAUL

2007 Fairfax California, using his own hand made Daflee..this is one of Babu Kishan's style, no other Bauls use this style.

His 2 daughters when they were little hand painted his drums.

The Khamak named it "Ananda Lahari' named only by

Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, it was only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul who popularized the Khamak. The Ektara (called Gopi Yantra and Gopi Chand) only by this one and only Lineage of Das Baul and Dasi was copied by pretendian Bauls Nabani only style was Ektara, Baya (drum tied around his waist) and his style only of ankle bells called Nupur (Noopoor) bells encased in metal.

Nabani was the first Baul ever to sing on stages, and he was the only known Baul to have (dreadlocks or Jata) because he traveled where modern conveniences was not easy to come by, doing sadhana for long periods in caves, all over India, Nepal and Tibet. He lived in nature, never did international travel but travelled India from top to bottom, he did not take pictures back then.

He was a Baul Avadhuta a Tantric Yogi to the highest levels. You can not copy these people from this lineage while making up new fake lineages and fake Guru's. Nabani was the last authentic Baul Guru he passed in 1969. If you copy or your so-called, self-titled fake Baul Guru and fake Baul lineage copied this lineages, songs, dress, style of dance or instruments, you will be called out openly, Babu Kishan's knows 100% you have used Baul and are passing fake and false narratives. Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul has already preserved all of Baul over more than 60 years, he is ready to talk over the coming years and debunk all this Baul fraud and Indigenous Identity theft.

This Mystic Drum only comes from this lineage.

If a random generic Baul is using this instrument it is the intellectual property of this lineage? Yes, many have used it, however, if they are lying and have created a new lineage, without giving credit they have committed indigenous fraud. You can not take Baul and fake it and use Baul to gain fundraising jackpots, and awards set aside only for indigenous people of Baul?

One by one this has happened.

Dotara introduced into Baul in the 1940's by Radharani Dasi's husband, Gopal Das Baul the son of the Ekachakra Temple in Ekachakra Birbhum.

Radharani was Nabani's daughter.

Before this no Bauls played the Dotara.

Ananda Lahari named by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, who added a second string, it only had one string previously.

aka called the Kamak or Gubgubi. It was only Nabani who called this drum the Ananda Lahari, it should be known that the name came from this lineage, not another.

The Mystic Drum.

These instruments are empowered, they are the Yantra's of Baul.

Ektara (Gopi Yantra) or Gopi Chand, Baya 'side drum', and 'Nupoor (ankle bells)' was only (Nabani Das Khyapa Baul) style he is the only Baul who created this style. Only from this one and only Lineage.

Nabani created this style just as his Grandson Babu Kishan created the patchwork Guduri dress that all Baul's copy, if not now in the past.

All from this one and only Lineage.

We will be documenting all the songs from this lineage, Babu is the only one who knows because he is the only one who has preserved this lineage decades ago.

Nabani Das Khyapa Baul's pictures are still used to today as a symbol of Baul, the picture Rabindranath Tagore took.

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.
