The Authentic Baul Parampara: Beyond Fakery and Exploitation

The Authentic Baul Parampara: Beyond Fakery and Exploitation

Happy Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric "Baul Guru" Guru Purnima 2025



Understanding Guru Purnima

Guru Purnima, observed on the full moon day during the Ashadha month, is traditionally a day for Guru Puja, or the worship of one's spiritual teacher. On this sacred day, disciples show their respect and offer reverence to their Gurus, who are considered spiritual guides illuminating their paths with knowledge and teachings.

This auspicious day is also known as Vyasa Purnima, commemorating the birth anniversary of Veda Vyasa. Veda Vyasa is a revered figure in Hinduism, recognized as both the author and a character within the profound Hindu epic, the Mahabharata.

Throughout Hinduism, numerous Gurus have left an indelible mark. Some of the most noteworthy among them include Adi Shankara, Sri Ramanuja Acharya, and Sri Madhvacharya.

Regarding Baul Guru shishya Parampara!

The Baul Guru Shishya Parampara (lineage) is a long and unbroken chain, not based on one or two generations of a mere poet. This is not Baul; it is pure fakery.

 “When people steal from our culture they end up distorting our culture, they turn it into something we do not even recognize, erasing us by replacing us.”  

They re-package a watered-down or romanticized version. The mainstream world then accepts the fake/distorted version as authentic, effectively erasing the original living caretakers and replacing them in the public consciousness. I have see this in academia, and in the western audiences who do not have a clue, if it sweetly smiles and looks exotic it must be, whether their lineage is fake, their style and songs are appropriated, they have not got a clue.

When a sacred song, medicine, or teaching is taken out of its traditional lineage, it loses its spirit or in this case Baul essence (the Shakti that has been passed down for hundreds of years). When the dominant society spreads that distorted version, the original community is erased because their true practice is no longer recognized—even by their own youth who grow up seeing only the mainstream caricature. 

An authentic Baul does not sit on a pedestal (chair) and have people wash their feet. Baul is not a fluid identity—one minute a fabricated "Baul Master," the next a "Baul Guru." There are no more Baul Gurus. While Bauls worship Krishna's feet, or the feet of their ishta devata, they do not encourage people to worship them as Guru. A true Baul Guru is of a different order entirely, and no one should be posing as a Baul Guru, especially a fake Baul who changes regularly while attempting to gather followers.

Baul is not an acting game of fakery. It's not about constantly morphing your identity from one moment to the next, as Babu Kishan, also known as Krishnendu Das Baul, calls "hawker Bauls"—individuals morphing daily to create a business. This involves the systematic stealing of intellectual property from this one and only authentic lineage. Even as these words are written, they continue to steal, rework, and reposition themselves.

Baul is fundamentally about Seva (selfless service), but not service to oneself. Baul is not for sale, not for mere "donations," nor for chasing "fundraising jackpots." True Seva is directed towards the villagers. These imposters make a mockery of Baul by constantly changing their narratives and practices.

There is only one Baul Guru Shishya Parampara Sampradaya. You can use all sorts of flowery language; that still does not make you a Baul or a Guru Shishya Parampara.
