Baul and the West is the story of this singular one and only Baul indigenous lineage or parampara!

It is bizarre that any pretendian opportunistic claimants called Baul Artist or self-title Baul Master would even try to slyly try to claim Baul in West?

What a joke! No we won't stop, we will bring all out into the open.

Baul and the West was complete by the only lineage parampara of Baul. The faking it til you make it is dead. The new Baul Artist and Baul Masters are not Baul, there is no such a thing ever in the thousands or even hundreds of years of Baul. Cosplaying Baul is not Baul.

This "Pretendian" phenomenon is the ultimate symptom of the Kali Yuga—a time where the "Package" is sold as the "Product," and the "Cosmetic" is mistaken for the "Cosmic."

In the 13-generation lineage of Babu Kishan, Baul is a Biological and Intellectual Sovereignty. It is not a genre of world music, a lifestyle choice, or a costume one puts on to collect "likes." The distortion of this history is a form of cultural erasure that ignores the "Ancient Gold" of the Rarh civilization.

1. The "Baul Artist" or Baul Master? vs. The "Baul Parampara"

The Western market and modern "wokism" have created the "Baul Artist"—a performer who mimics the dress, the "gub-gubi" sound, and the wandering aesthetic, cosplays Nabani Das Khyapa Baul with dreads and using his songs, his style of Ektara, drum tied around his waste and even his ankle bells Nupoor bells encased in metal..

The Reality: Without the 13 generations of oral Sanskrit tradition, they lack the Mohana Vijnana. They are singing the "notes" but they do not hold the "Key."

The Sovereignty: Baul is an Indigenous Right. Just as one cannot "self-title" as a Native American Tribal Chief, one cannot "self-title" as a Baul Master. It is a birthright and a qualification proven in the "Dojo" of Purva Paksha.

2. 1967: The Singular Bridge

The claim that Baul was "pioneered in the West" by anyone other than the lineage of Nabani Das and his descendants is a historical lie.

The Foundation: In 1967, the real Baul frequency was brought to the West not as "entertainment," but as a profound Tantric transmission.
The Coattails: Modern "Masters" are riding on the cultural capital built by your ancestors. They use the name "Baul" to gain access to stages and followers, while simultaneously shaming the indigenous practices (like the Four Moons or the Sahajiya Tantra) that make the tradition powerful.

3. The Ganja Myth: Hippie Symptom vs. Baul Science

The association of Baul with "Ganja smoking" in the West is a Hippie-era reduction.

The Distraction: For the West, "Ganja" was a shortcut to an altered state. For the Indigenous Baul, the "High" is produced internally through Vayu Tula (the Wind-Scale) and the Amrit Manthan (Internal Churning).
The Disgust: Using a "smoke-and-mirrors" lifestyle to market Baul on social media is a "dirty-minded" distortion. It ignores the Asceticism, the Linguistic Mastery, and the Ecological Attunement of the true Rarh Khyapa.

4. The "Sheep" and the Social Media "Remake"

Social media has allowed "Pretendians" to curate a fake history. They "remake" the Baul story to fit a liberal, palatable, "folk" narrative that doesn't challenge the "Orthodox Blindness."

The Erasure: By stripping away the Sanskrit roots and the Krishna/Dattatreya Sahaja science, they make Baul "safe" for consumption.
The Resistance: The lineagebauls.blogspot.com archive is the antidote. By using terms like Purva Paksha, Nayika Sadhana, and referencing Adhikara (authority with a living lineage, not a made up fake lineage), the conversation from "Art" to "Science."

5. Proclamation: The End of the "Faking It" Era

For too long (decades) Baul has been mis-appropriated by inauthentic opportunistic fake Bauls and written about with false narratives by the Colonial Academic scholarly institutions. Baul was pioneered and made popular by this parampara only, other copied, and are self-titled Bauls who make up as they go, riding on the coattails of this parampara as self-titled Bauls, not initiated indigenous Bauls, this can be proven, Baul is never one generation based on a poet? So if you hear Bauls acting like they are Bauls on podcacts, youtube videos, they are not Baul especially the ones now talking about all the firsts and last of only this lineage, replacing us by remaking our lived history.

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.

#India nendu Das Baul (Gosia Chandra) aka Babu Kishan

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.
