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 even make this up anymore. You can not replace the authentic historical Baul by acting as a Baul. You can not claim anything regarding Baul or the history of Baul and 'all the first or lasts' that history has been lived and is complete, you are responsible for what goes on your fb pages, all the fake claims, don't blame it on students? Baul was complete long ago. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul solowas the first Baul to sing on stages all over India, then Purna Das Baul even in Calcutta.

What is it, Plagiarist: The most common and accurate term for a person who takes someone else's words, ideas, or language and passes them off as their own.
Infringer: The technically correct legal term for someone who violates a copyright or intellectual property right. Or is it,
Pirate A thief on the high seas; a classic term for copyright infringement.Highly evocative, suggests a widespread, organized theft operation.
PurloinerA formal, almost literary word for a sneaky thief.Sounds intellectual, but conveys secretive theft. Copycat Simple, universally understood, and implies lack of originality. Excellent for emphasizing the unoriginal nature of the promoter.
Cribber(Informal) Someone who copies illicitly, often in an academic context.A strong word for taking specific notes or writings. ImitatorSomeone who tries to pass off a copy as the original.Focuses on the lack of authentic self-expression. Or perhaps, we have watched this for decades now, get ready for the reclamation and truth about Baul, the actual truth, which is the first tenant of Baul. Vulture: Suggests someone circling and waiting to prey on the intellectual labor of others. Leach (or Leech): Implies someone is sucking the life/value/credibility from your original work. Exploiter: Accurate for someone taking advantage of a tradition for personal gain. Just saying and it is only regards to this particular singular firsts and lasts regarding Baul history. Baul is for the world, however, what is going on is simply not right, pose all you want this is happening within India by Indian people who are not even from Baul or W Bengal, they are not villagers who are encouraged to sing Baul songs of this lineage. Baul is not a Guru business, it is an indigenous ancestral sadhana that has been preserved over 13 generations by this one and only Baul lineage, parampara, kula, sect or sampradaya for at least 13 generations and perhaps hundreds since the beginning of the story. You do not mess with that kind of history, This is the Das Baul and Dasi, Chandra Gosia, lineage from Ekachakra Birbhum W Bengal India.
“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. He speaks all 4 Baul languages, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul the last Baul Avadhuta is his Guru.
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, only if you are 'indigenous to Baul. There is no room for false narratives, and speculations by 'opportunistic inauthentic claimants' who continually slither into a weird murky reductionism of false narratives everyday and listing off of everything this lineage only has written or talked about. Baul is complete there are no more firsts or lasts, continually trying to take credit for what has already been done is insideous and so obvious?
Baul is not a game, it is not your game, it is not a competition or something to remake while trying to prove you are better than Purna Das Baul, which is utterly disrespectful, no one would know about Baul without Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul or the pioneering work his eldest son Krishnendu Das Baul aka Babu Kishan achieved.
Baul is not in the Baba or Maa business, training people to touch your feed, collecting awards, you are not a Baul, your Guru was not a Baul, you have copied everything from this lineage as an actor. By retracing every step this lineage has already completed as their own historical firsts and lasts does not make one a Baul. By stealing Baul songs off of youtube does not make one a Baul. Bauls always knew the poets, Babu Kishan knows the poets and if it is a Baul song or not, that is what Baul mastery is about.
Going everywhere this lineage has already gone and lived, such as Baul and Tantra, Baul and Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Baul and Indian Cinema, Baul and 'Taraptih or Ramakrishna and Baul', Baul Fusion are firsts only in this lineage, you can not remake their lived lives as if they belong to you, when they don't.
Trying to claim you are the first, erasing the truth and the name by remaking and replacing the indigenous Bauls stories! The legends of this lineage one and only singular PARAMPARA, replacing them by remaking them is not Baul.
Making Baul generic, a no name brand is not Satya (truth). I am not talking about the villagers of Birbhum. I am talking about the youtube, international traveling Baul, trying to fundraise to preserve Baul when they are not even from Baul and Baul has been preserved by KD Babu Kishan for over 60 years and this parampara for hundreds if not thousands of years. Acting in the place of an indigenous Baul fabricated, imposter Bauls, fictitious, pseudo-Bauls are not Bauls, Baul artists and Baul Masters are not Baul.
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, the nuances are all wrong, authentic Bauls never encourage people to touch their feet or say come and follow us.
The intellectual property theft, 'yes I am saying it as it really is', by fake Bauls can be proven, at every step they have taken for decades, while they have acted out the lives of this lineage lived lives, hoping you will never know, ask or qualify them while taking the names of this lineages off and replacing all their lived firsts and last as if they are 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, it will all be exposed, smile, smile, giggle, giggle oh sweet innocent pretendian Baul actors as Babu Kishan has titled you Hawker Bauls.
Baul is done, Baul is complete, to be blunt Baul is so watered down and reduced Baul is extinct, what you see today is not Baul, not Baul artist nor Baul Master there is no such thing. 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, (another of the false narratives, there is no such thing as Mulsim, Fakir, Sai, Aul, Dervish Baul, this was made up, there is a whole chapter in the new book, that explains everything. Bangladesh uses Baul for jackpot fundraising from the United Nations based on false narratives, they are a fundraising state and they latched onto the popularity of this parampara Lineage just as fake Bauls in India have. It is reclaimation time now after decades of abuse.
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 have tried fishing for a fundraising jackpot and collect donations in the name of Baul, using Baul based upon the lineage has been very successful for many in the past, so they think now I will become a Guru in the name of Baul under a carefully orchestrated social media campaign and they think we will just tell people that we have nothing to do with this? Babu Kishan is a mystic he can see right through all the games.
The 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. They are completely different from Buddhist Sahaja, Buddhist is part of Sanatan Dharma but in this instance Baul sahaja is different from what everybody including all the fake Bauls have been saying, watch them change their narratives as soon as they read it, this is a huge problem, taking and never giving credit, just using Baul. Baul is based on Hindu Indian Philosophy, Muslim and Hindu have completely different practices, they 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!
NO POACHING, copyright, this is the intellectual property of KD Babu Kishan all rights reserved by BabuKishan.org (sounds insane, however, this has been going on for decades, one fake made up Baul to Guru to fake student) reductionism and the watering down of Baul because they never were Baul, constant intellectual property theft turned into one liners of claiming what can not be claimed, all documented over 60 years. Seriously.
If you see anything mentioned from this blog, words, style, or the history of this lineage 'used, remade, reworked, twisted in social media posts' it has been copied from KD Babu Kishan. The intellectual property theft and indigenous fraud will be called out.
Read through the below and let us know if you have seen any of this lineages intellectual property repeated, reworked, remade, or acting, usually the terms from this lineage are taken and reworked with fake Baul Gurus by people who are no where close to being a Baul. The terms in this blog or any of KD Babu Kishan's other writings or intellectual property is his intellectual property.
This is a singular one and only lineage or parampara. Please let us know if you have witnessed the appropriation of any words, terms, history of this lineage. Kd Babu Kishan preserved Baul for more than 60 years and has been documenting the intellectual property of this lineage now for decades.
Now is the time to present it and call it out. Baul is indigenous, it is for the world, however, this lineage names have been taken off and their lineage has been stolen.
There is no other Vaishnava Sahajiya (Sahaja) Tantric lineage of Baul, Das Baul and Dasi, Tantra Mantra Gopi Yantra.

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
