Baul history is complete, if you at not indigenous to Baul, there is no such thing as a Baul artist, or Baul Master there never was EVER. You can not replace the authentic historical Baul by acting as a Baul. You can not claim anything regarding 'all the first or last regarding Baul as Baul was complete long ago.
“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.”
All we can do now is preserve Baul by an indigenous Baul who preserved Baul for more than 60 years. No one has done the work that KD Babu Kishan has regarding Baul, now it is easy, what he did to preserve Baul and pioneer Baul throughout India and the world no one can repeat, replace or appropriate by stealing the intellectual property of this one and only parampara.
You can track down all the places that this lineage has gone, compete with their lived history and playing out a indigenous fraud of false narratives, pretend all you want, there is no way that you can fake Baul. Nuances missing, fake stories including the copied and stolen the legacy of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and KD (Krishnendu Das Baul) aka Babu Kishan the truth will be revealed.
Obviously you do not know KD Babu Kishan aka Babu Kishan. Mis-representation, misappropriation a stolen legacy, intellectual property from this lineage including the dress, style, stories, songs, where they went and what they did. All will be qualified and supported through the government of India, this is Indian history, the game now is beyond obvious and all documented over 60 years by Babu Kishan, and over 20 years by me his wife of 20 years.
There is room for new modern expressions of Baul, however, only from inside the indigenous authentic Baul. To denigrate the legends of this lineage one and only singular PARAMPARA and replace them by remaking them is not Baul.
To take off their names, play pretend while claiming their songs, style, history, tracking down all the places they have gone as firsts and lasts regarding Baul from reading this blog and books, seriously every where they have gone and what they have done is cultural mis-appropriation, not cultural appreciation. There is a big difference.
The retracing and acting of out of this lineages (singular Baul parampara) is the opposite of Baul, words never mentioned before, tattvas that only Babu Kishan has categorized used on social media, hey the nuances are all wrong, authentic Bauls never encourage people to touch their feet.
The intellectual property theft of fake Bauls can be proven, at every step they have taken for years of acting out the lives of this lineage, taking their names off and replacing all their lived firsts and last as if you were the one?
Oh holi holi on the most high manifestor of sacred lyrics, sorry you are not from Baul, but are using a copied version from your fake Baul Guru. You can not even make up this anymore? Your Guru is not a Baul based on a one generation poet who Babu Kishan knew, including all the people who said they were self-titled Bauls and are now titled Baul Guru? No no it will all be exposed, smile smile giggle giggle oh sweet innocent pretendian Baul actors as Babu Kishan has called Hawker Bauls.
Baul is done, Baul is complete, to be blunt Baul is so watered down and reduced that Baul is extinct, what you see today is not Baul. All the firsts and lasts regarding Baul are complete.
There is no such thing as a Bangladeshi, Muslim, Sai, Aul, Dervish, Baul, you are cherry picking and twisting this lineages story. This can be proven right down to where it came from. KD Babu Kishan knew all the scholars, he lived the stories and saw the progression of this since the 1960's and has preserved Baul for over 60 years. He knows exactly where this came from and can qualify each and every paper, book, PHD on this issue.
There is a paper I found the other day, saying again Bauls of Bangladesh listing off these songs that are not even Baul songs, firstly one has to know what is a Baul song and what is not. Today, it is anything goes, no one qualifies these papers? That will be our next project after the book is published is qualifying both in 'western exegesis' and in the Indian system of 'Purva Paksha' the Indian philosophical style of Indian exegesis.
Heterogeneity and Baul Spirituality: The Songs of Baul Taskir Ali in Bangladesh - Golam Rabbani
I will do a full critique on it, keep in mind Babu Kishan knew Carol Solomon for decades and taught a series of Master classes on Baul at Washington University for years. He knows the stories and the reasons why the late Carol Solomon decided to write about Baul as Muslim, he signed for her grant for her work, but she changed it, Lalon Fakir (Shah) never said he was a Baul, he did not practice Baul sadhana's he was a great poet but not a Baul.
Babu Kishan knew Edward Dimock and all of the early scholars, there is a whole huge chapter in the soon to be released book, on Historical Baul, the chapter should be a book on its own, I could not even fit in all the stories. They are both listed as references for the above article, this is what people do they patchwork 'copy and pasted' one liners by western scholars as to proof that Baul is Muslim. So many Muslims, Bangladeshis, still trying to convert Baul which is Hindu to Muslim, this has to qualified and canceled for once and for all.
I do know they are fishing for a fundraising jackpot, as this copy and paste of speculations has worked to the millions in the past regarding Baul for fake Muslim Bauls. There is not a such think as a muslim Baul or Baul Fakir, think logically, Vaishnava, Shaivism, Shaktism, Dattartreya, Radha/Krishna have completely different practices, Hindu philosophy and Muslim are like oil and water. Just because the Bauls helped all people in times of famine, war, and times of stress does not mean they became them.
Trying to remake all the firsts and lasts of this one and only Baul parampara or lineage is insidious. It is only done because this singular lineage made Baul famous. There are no more famous Bauls, a fake Baul should not even be considered as a Baul. First what qualifications does a person have to determine who is a Baul and hand out awards to them for representing Baul.
What are your qualifications, who have you debated, no one, it is just your story of self promotion based on exotic looks, or is because they rallied and petitioned you and told you so, look at all our likes, look at where we have been, look at our Baul Guru?
With no proof, just made up stories, while copying ever step this pioneering indigenous Baul lineage had created over hundreds of years, scooped up for self-promotion?
There is no new most famous Baul, that claim is opportunistic, it is bizarre the intellectual property theft that is going on, and that is the main reason for this Historical Baul autobiography.
What history do they have, what songs are they singing, why are they following everything from this lineage, style, instruments, where did it come from a fake Baul Guru?
The lack of adhikara is astounding? This all needs to be debated and qualified accurately, not just because someone spread false narratives?
The first Baul to ever sing on a stage is Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, his style was the Ektara, Baya (drum tied around the waist) and his own style of ankle bells, completely misappropriated (stolen and acted out). Being a liar for the sake of collecting people and donations is lying, there is NOT another Baul lineage Das Baul or Dasi, or Vaishnava Baul aka The Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls of Birbhum W Bengal.
The truth will be told, what are you going to do next manifest a stone out of your mouth. LOL Tara Ma is not easy, omg stop copying this lineages legacy, the legacy of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. Tara Ma does not suffer fools certainly not gamers. There are absolutely NOT 20,000 Bauls in Bengal let alone Birbhum, the lies pile up.
The first Baul to sing singular on a stage all over Indian and in Calcutta is Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul and KD Krishnendu Das Baul aka Babu Kishana Das Baul is the first and only Baul to sing singularly on stages all over the world and in India.
KD Babu Kishan is the first and last Baul to be associated with the Ramakrishna Mission, teaching at Universities and Indian Cinema, he created the template for traveling the world for indigenous Bauls to survive this modern world, yes that template was stolen and reacted out. He is the first Baul to write books on Baul and teach Baul worldwide, yes Bhakti Yoga, Kirtan, Indian Music, Indian Philsosphy, Tantra ect all the things that encompass Baul.
He is still here, he has been quiet, not anymore, the truth will be boldly told and years of intellectual property theft revealed. I could go on and on stealing his past and the past of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Brajabala Dasi, Purna Das Baul, Manju Das, Radharani Dasi, Laxshman Das Baul and the the documented 13 generations and many before of this little sect from Ekachakra Birbhum W Bengal who became popular and probably the most faked sect in all of India, will be revealed openly, boldly, how many likes you have on fb does not matter, Intellectual property theft is the opposite of Baul.
Stop the deep fakery regarding Baul, you can not be a Baul by reading this blog and copying everything, or by reading books. Muslims, Fakir, Aul, Sai, Dervish are not Baul, this was the biggest looting of Baul for financial gain and fake fame.
No you are not initiated into Baul, what a joke.
Book of authentic Baul to be released soon.
The universe keeps providing me with more fakery to document, it never stops? Baul is now being used as a way of collecting people, collecting donations in the Guru Ma and Guru Baba business? Shameful!

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 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.
(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
"Baul Tantra Mantra Gopi Yantra". Copyright, no poaching
"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
