Dear Bhavesh,
Journalism and cultural interview platforms carry a basic responsibility: to perform due diligence before broadcasting claims that distort endangered indigenous heritages. Your recent interview featuring Parvathy 'not' Baul fails this fundamental test. By providing an unchallenged platform for commercial cosplay, fabricated terminology, and a sanitized, New-Age rewrite of a 600-year-old tradition, you have become complicit in the systematic erasure of the world’s only ancestral Baul lineage or Guru shishya parampara sampradaya -there is only one, it is Gosia Chandra Das Baul and Dasi.
A million views on YouTube do not constitute historical truth. Popularity on an algorithm cannot manufacture Adhikāra (lineage-granted qualification), nor can it override centuries of documented history (Siddhānta).
“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.”
The 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 the cosplayer looks exotic, the oldest trick in the book, I am sure you have seen sadhus and tantrics dress the part, they always have sweet smiles thus, the unexpected fools think, this must be real it looks exotic, whether their lineage is fake, their style and songs are appropriated.
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.
Baul does not need a saviour from outside of Baul, it needs only its own self-determination free from cosplayers and fakes.
Baul is an ocean of Vedas & Tantra, Indian Philosophy, Baul Philosphy, Itihas Mahabharat, Ramayan, Upanishads, Purnas and their own Vaishnava manuscrips, Oral Sanskrit, it is way beyond.
A Baul is not vague or a generalist, they are specific, said first by KD Babu Kishan since he has been teaching, archiving Baul in the 1970s, he is the eldest indigenous Baul of his generation who created the modern template of pioneering Baul worlwide, he is the creator of Baul fusion 2 decades before opportunistic claimants are claiming. I have been documenting everything said about Baul, from academic papers, books, media, youtube for over 20 years.
Baul is indigenous, it does not belong or can be self-determined by someone who comes out of the woodwork with woodwork shadow footprinting this lineage or one and only SAMPRADAYA with made up random, Baul Gurus and Baul Lineages? Krishnendu Das Baul (Babu Kishan) which I am certain you do not know is the eldest of the Baul Samparadaya which included Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Padma Shri (Baul Samarat Purna Das Baul - the one your guest said earlier she is the next Purna Das Baul which is impossible because he is not only a Legendary Baul he is the first Indian Singer to pioneer Indian singing outside of India, when I say Legendary I mean an Award Winning Baul Singer who has won more Presidential, Prime Ministerial Cultrual awards than almost anyone in India.
Nabani Das Khyapa Baul is the only Baul who introduced and initiated Rabindranath Tagore, he the first Baul in the history of Baul to sing for Nehru duing the freedom movement and at the inauguration of the New India in 1947. The other picture and Gurus you guest talk about were not even around then because there were no Bauls in Calcutta at that time, there were no Bauls in Bangladesh if not for Nabani Das Khyapa Baul who knew Swami Vivekananda or for KD Babu Kishan who is the first and only Baul to spend 12 years in the Ramakrishna Mission as a monk. Do you understand what Shadow foot-printing the lives of these famous Bauls and the only reason anybody actually knows about Baul is.
There are articles on this blog explaining what Shadow foot-printing the lived lives of this one and only Parampara. Can you image the damage that your guest has done, creating a parellel illigitamate Sampradaya using all the terms from this blog? Well now let me tell you, most certainly this is now a legal reclamation of this lineage, it has gone too far and you did not do any research, rather you were influenced by emotional cosplay into spreading false narratives. Do you even know who the poets are, or if what she was singing was Baul or not?
If you cut the roots of historical Baul the tree of Baul will die, Baul is in a cultural genocide place right now, it is not helpful for cosplayer Bauls who have poached Baul devoid of any nuances. And remake this sampradaya as if they are it.
I can't give you all the corrections but she is not Gosia or however, she spells it to confuse people, she has even made a khyapa Baul - that is insidious, why because Nabani Das Khyapa Baul was the only Baul Avadhut and Khyapa Baul, he saved the villagers lives through creating over 200 hundred Akharas doing his sadhana at the dhumi and then dismantling them because his goal was Seva. Which is something a cosplayer can roll of thier tongue but their SEVA is for donation for themselves. I am sorry the false narratives are again shocking and the use of this lineage sideways through lies is not ok.
There is not another that is lie. Nuanances and accuracy when preaching and they are preaching, preaching is used to collect people and donations or awards. When I hear them say they are the New Purna Das Baul, you can only guess they want his legendary awards, they want to be hiim and no one can replace Padma Shree Purna Das Baul.
Before you do a podcast: do your research, you may like the look but you are sorely being misled. Warning to other podcasters; this will not blow over we are about to publish the Historical Roots of Baul a trilogy of the truth of Baul and how Baul has been used over the decades. Learn to ask questions, critque answers and know the truth because it is coming and you are going look not very intelligent.
Had you conducted basic historical research prior to hitting "record," the following unassailable facts would have been immediately obvious:
1. The Myth of "Baul Ashrams," "Baul Masters," and "Siddhacharyas" Yogic parampara are incorrect. Again, you have to know the correct categories and you do not being told anything of the above. Baul is not vague.
You allowed your guest to present terms like "Baul Master" and "Baul Ashram" as authentic tradition. Sadhu's and Sadhavi's yes, but that still is to simplistic. Baul Guru is the Mother and Father in indigenous Baul communities that are ancestral and born of families of at least 13 generations.
The Fact: Authentic Baul is preserved strictly within ancestral family bloodlines (Kulā), oral manuscript transmission, and internal somatic discipline (Vāyu Tulā). There are zero Baul Ashrams and zero Baul Masters. Modern retreat centers and commercial workshops are capitalist constructs, not lineage institutions.
The "Siddhacharya" Distortion: Applying labels like "Siddhacharya" to historical Bauls completely misrepresents the only Baul lineage, there are not any others and this guest of yours is not from a Baul lineage.
Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, who entered mahāsamādhi in 1969, was the true, last Baul Avadhūta—a genuine Siddha who lived the realization quietly, never wearing titles or parading himself for public consumption. He is a historical person in the history of India, as is his eldest son Padma Shree (Baul Samrat) Purna Chanddra Das Baul now over 90 years of age. Baul has manuscripts, they are not illiterate as presented, there is one lineage of Baul with Roots in Birbhum W Bengal by birth not by self-entitlement? Did you even think to ask any deep questions, basic like do you speak oral Sanskrit and Braja Bhasha? Bauls are genuis not what is presented, they are very educated in Veda and Tantra, it is great for your guest to list off all the shastra, but she has not put in the time. It is easy to cosplay Baul, it is easy to make such sweet platitudes the problem is she read that list off this blog. No one ever said any of the stuff she is name dropping about except KD Babu Kishan and now she is repeating a cosplay of shadow footprinting that has gone on for decades.
2. The Total Erasure of Scholarly & Manuscript Foundations
Your interview perpetuated the tired, colonial caricature that Bauls are "illiterate vagrants begging at the door."
The Fact: Lineage Bauls are profound pandits and scholars operating within a rigorous multi-lingual framework of Oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhāṣā, and the archaic vernacular dialect of Birbhum. They convey secret somatic mechanics (108 Tattvas) through their coded twilight language (Sandhyā Bhāṣā) and preserved manuscripts.
3. Ontological Category Errors: Shiva vs. Vaishnava Sahajiya
Your guest claimed that Baul "evolved from Shiva" as a generic "Yogic path."
The Fact: This statement alone reveals a complete lack of lineage qualification. Baul is an internal somatic science rooted in Vaishnava Krishna-Vishnu, Dattātreya Sahaja, and Shakti Sādhana. Equating it with generic Yoga or Turkish dervish traditions confuses distinct spiritual mechanics and misinforms your audience as the person you interviewed in the past has done.
4. Direct Shadow-Footprinting of KD Babu Kishan’s Lived Life
Almost every major milestone, title, and terminology claimed by your guest is a point-by-point shadow-footprinting of KD Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das) and his immediate family:
The Ramakrishna Mission Monastic Legacy: Only one Baul in history spent 12 years as a monk in the Ramakrishna Mission before dedicating 60 years to archiving this tradition: KD Babu Kishan.
Global Pioneering & University Teaching: KD Babu Kishan was the first and only indigenous Baul to earn a BA and MA from Calcutta University, composing over 80% of the music for his father, Padma Shri (Baul Samrat) Purna Das Baul, and representing India through the ICCR and Sangeet Natak Akademi for over six decades.
First Baul Woman Globally: The claim that your guest was the "first Baul woman to travel internationally" is a bold-faced lie. That title belongs solely to Manju Dasi (wife of Purna Das Baul and mother of Babu Kishan), who represented authentic Baul heritage globally from the 1960s until her passing in 2010.
Stolen Terminology & Oral Histories: Terms like Gopi Yantra, Rasa Lila Mystics, and the breakdown of the 108 Tattvas were first published and copyrighted on our digital archives (BabuKishan.com and our running blogs). Stealing intimate, private oral stories about Nabani Das Khyapa Baul to sell workshops and collect donations is direct intellectual theft.
The Record Stands
You may have achieved a high view count, but as an interviewer, you allowed a false narrative to be broadcast without checking a single archive, timestamp, or historical record.
The 13-generation Gosain Chandra Das Baul ancestral lineage of Birbhum is an indigenous birthright, bound to the soil and bloodline of Birbhum, West Bengal. It cannot be bought, adopted after leaving home at 15, or manufactured through costume changes.
We are preparing a direct public video response by KD Babu Kishan, accompanied by two decades of timestamped files, copyrighted records, and historical receipts. The truth is documented, and the public record will now be corrected.
THE ANCESTRAL ROOT (MŪLA)
Introduction: Adhikāra, Historical Prior Art, and the Unbroken Lineage
Section I: The Opening Lineage Proclamation (Paramparā & Siddhānta)
To understand the living current of Baul is to step beyond the sanitized, modern marketplace of performative spirituality and enter a continuous 600-year ancestral stream rooted directly in the soil (Māṭi) of Birbhum, West Bengal. This tradition—the Gosain Chandra Das Baul lineage—is not a collection of eclectic workshop techniques, nor is it an open-source movement that can be adopted by passing enthusiasts, staged by actors, or bought through casual discipleship. It is an unassailable, 13-generation ancestral bloodline (Kulā), preserved through an unbroken oral transmission (Paramparā) that binds the practitioner to a strict lineage qualification (Adhikāra), profound metaphysical discipline (Siddhānta), and the living memory of the soil.
In an era saturated with commercial reinventors who package superficial charm as esoteric mastery, a fundamental boundary must be drawn between authentic inheritance and performative mimicry. The spiritual authority of an ancestral lineage cannot be manufactured by adopting customary dress, learning an instrument, or claiming vague "spiritual lineages" detached from family bloodlines and formal manuscript transmission. True Baul inheritance is not a personal aesthetic choices or a career path; it is an irreplaceable, inherited guardianship passed down through generations of realized practitioners who lived, suffered, and preserved the internal mechanics of the tradition far from the gaze of commercial markets.
Central to this historical record is the unshakeable reality of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul (d. 1969), the true and final Baul Avadhūta of this lineage. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul lived as a embodiment of raw, uncompromising realization—a genuine Siddha whose very presence manifested the highest heights of Kāya-sādhana and internal somatic mastery. Crucially, a realized Avadhūta of his caliber never sought public acclaim, never marketed his realization, and would never degrade his state by parading self-aggrandizing, modern honorifics such as "Siddhacharya."
It is a fact that Nabani Das Khyapa Baul was the only Baul Avadhut and he was the only Baul to bring back Krishna Kali and do sadhana at Tarapith in the burning grounds, he was initiated by Bama Kepa and associated by other great Naths of the day. No other Vaishnava Sahajiya Bauls ever did sadhana at Tarapith except his eldest grandchild Krishnendu Das Baul (Babu Kishan). The poeple using Nabani's influence are not Bauls, they are only there trying to be Nabani Das Baul singing his songs, dancing his style.
Such performative labels belong entirely to external observers and contemporary opportunists who lack the internal discipline of the path and instead rely on high-sounding buzzwords to build public brands. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul's mahāsamādhi in 1969 marked the closing of an era, leaving behind a pristine legacy that remains anchored exclusively within his direct family line.
The work of protecting and documenting this lineage on the world stage spans over six decades of continuous, unbroken effort. The global platform upon which the Baul tradition sits today was built through the untiring, pioneering efforts of Padma Shri (Baul Samrat) Purna Das Baul, alongside Manju Dasi—the first authentic Baul woman to bring the tradition to international audiences from the 1960s until her passing in 2010—and KD Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das Baul). Long before contemporary imitators sought to commercialize the culture, this family spent decades performing, archiving, and academically representing the authentic heritage of Birbhum across continents, through government cultural bodies such as the ICCR and Sangeet Natak Akademi, and within major international cultural archives.
KD Babu Kishan stands as the sole lineage custodian to hold both deep monastic training—having spent 12 years as a monk within the Ramakrishna Mission—and advanced university degrees (BA and MA from Calcutta University), composing over 80 percent of the music for his father while systematically archiving the family's oral manuscript traditions. This trilogy stands as the direct culmination of that 60-year global legacy: a definitive, unassailable historical record designed to anchor the truth of the Gosain Chandra Das Baul lineage in stone, ensuring that six centuries of sacred, indigenous heritage remain forever protected from theft, distortion, and historical erasure.

Sandra A. Das (Author, Researcher, and Independent Publisher) wife of Babu Kishan.
On behalf of KD Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das Baul) & The Lineage of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul
Krishnendu Das Baul (Babu Kishan) speaking: a repost from: https://bhavaproject.weebly.com/news-blog/some-poets-and-new-baul-singers 2018
I have been composing, writing, and producing Baul music since the 1970s. I created a huge Baul archive and have worked to preserve the tradition since the day I was born in 1962. I was awarded the title of youngest music composer in Bengal in the 1970s at just 11 years old. Read more on the Bhavaproject Blog.
I paved the road for today's Bauls, making it easier for newcomers to have a platform (#Bauls to the World). As early as the 1970s and 1980s, I was already traveling around the world teaching Baul from a young age.
I still remember how Shantidev Ghosh—the right hand of Rabindranath Tagore—used to degrade Sanatan Das Baul and others who were trying to follow Baul, they were not indigenous to Baul but trying to be Baul. Shantidev Ghosh favoring strictly lineage-based Bauls, because he knew my grandfather, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. If you know the history of this lineage, you know that everyone followed Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and the Bauls who came before him.
I am the one who made space to seat other non indigenous Baul to sit on the stage with #BaulSamratPurnaDasBaul at melas, especially the Pous and Joydev melas. I tride to give struggling new Bauls (mostly refugees from Bangladesh) a chance to succeed.
This included Sanatan Baul, who was a copycat of my grandfather in his dance, instruments acting like Nabani and a copycat of Purna Das in his dress, no matter what stories are told today he did not have a lineage and did not belong to Baul but tried to be Baul like, I think he was illiterate and Baul is never illiterate, we are oral Sanskritists with manuscripts, I am probably the last indigenous Baul who knew the real authentic Baul. Today's fake Bauls are zero and have become opportunistic claimants of this one and only indigenous ancestral Sampradaya of 13 generations documented that is at least 600 years as we lived long lives.
I created this platform for modern Baul for the indigenous Bauls who all died young, not able to compete with the flood of the Bauls I tried to help. I unfortunetly could not precieve what Baul has become today. I left Bengal for Indian Cinema in Mumbai and I had no idea the degradation that would follow the indigenous Bauls. You see now that I know, I am against anybody using Baul for financial gain, donations, international travel, or social media fame, because my ancestors died not being able to compete with these as I now call hawker Bauls. I will debate and qualify each of them and bring out into the open who they are. You may like them but the truth will be told. When I heard they were the using Baul Ambassador and wanted to be the next Purna Das Baul and saying openly Purna Das Baul is a Shilpi Baul you have no idea what that awakened in me. They are not Baul and I will prove it in everyway and not only that if they keep stealing the indigenous intellectual property - well they have no idea what they have awakened.
I knew Sanatan and his sons, and I even brought him to All India Radio and encouraged him to record. Unfortunately, it wasn't successful because the record company didn't like his voice, but he went on my reference and with my help. He is not a Baul guru; he simply followed our family, our songs, our dance, and our dress. That whole group followed us, and we helped bring many of these new Bauls on tour with us.
I supported Paban Das Baul, who became a good folk singer, along with Paban’s brother and others like Subol and Gour. I have watched everything unfold over the decades, and now I am ready to tell the true story of how it all came about in my upcoming book.
I have always been a mainstream supporter of Bauls. I started the Gopal Nagar Baul mela, a huge, successful festival. I always worked behind the scenes—even in Bollywood with Amitabh Bachchan—giving new Baul singers a platform, proper respect, clothing, and financial support for decades.
I made it easier for people to sing in the guru's name, helped so many secure a place in the front row, and composed music for and recorded the poetry of #BhabaPagla and #MonoharKhyepa, creating their first popular songs as a young music composer, yet, nobody knows the stories, I understand one young academic thinks Bhaba Pagla was a Baul, no he was not, and I understand that one fake Baul is using Monohar Khepa as a Baul Guru or lineage Baul, he was not a Baul, he loved Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and Purna Das Baul, both Bhaba Pagla a Shakta and Monohar Kepa loved this lineage, I asked them both personally if they were Baul they told me NO, and I went on to compose music for their poetry.
Clarifying the Poets and Lineage
Bhava Pagla was not a Baul; he never called himself one. He was a friend of the tradition who frequently visited and stayed at the Purna Das Baul home in Calcutta. Learn more about Bhava Pagla.
Babu used to spend a lot of time with Monohar Khyepa, who loved Babu Kishan and always stayed at our home in Calcutta when he visited. Because Monohar had a leg injury, Babu set up a special room for him on the first floor and always made sure he was well-fed.
Monohar Khyepa was a poet and part of our family who had an ashram in Joydev. Most local Bauls worked for him in exchange for free food. Monohar always asked me to compose music for his lyrics and get my father, Purna Das Baul, to sing them. My father claims in his book that Monohar Khyepa was his guru. While everyone a Baul meets can be considered a teacher in some sense, and while I was very fond of Monohar, I never considered him a Baul guru in our lineage; he was a great poet.
Similarly, Bhava Pagla was a poet, a regular baba, and a friend of the tradition rather than a Baul. He also stayed at our home, and I composed music for his poetry.
Introducing International Scholars
Babu Kishan introduced foreign scholars like Carol Solomon, Usha Harding, and Charles Capwell to Monohar Khyepa, Bhava Pagla, and others. I was Carol Solomon's Bengali translator in both India and America, and I personally introduced her to everyone. The pictures others now use on their websites were taken while she was with me.
Baul eventually came to be seen as a lucrative business, which is why others followed, cut us out of the narrative, and began rewriting lineages and taking our stories. Carol Solomon eventually found Baul too difficult and shifted the narrative to "Bangladesh Baul," which never existed before. The real story will be revealed in my book.
Setting the Record Straight
Nitai Khepa and Sanatan Das Baul tried to copy Nabani Das Baul, but Nabani was a mystic genius—you cannot simply copy the essence of Baul. Sanatan used to talk behind my back because I wore jeans, though when confronted he would claim he was only joking. Nabani didn't even like these followers.
If there is one thing Babu does not like, it is dishonesty; my own family could not train me to be untruthful. When the late Carol Solomon took her famous picture of Nitai Khepa, she was with me. I booked them at the tourist lodge in Shantiniketan, and when they were left on their own, they often ended up in bad shape. That is a longer story for the book.
All real, original Bauls are gone now, and the tradition will completely fade after me because all the authentic information rests with Babu Kishan. Rabindranath Tagore gave the title Khepa (Khyapa Baul) to Nabani Das Baul and used it in his poetry; that specific title belongs exclusively to Nabani Das Khyapa Baul.
Today, Bauls are treated merely as tourist attractions and pop singers. At least try to sing on beat and in tune rather than just screaming and dancing like plastic. We put in hard work, dear—at least respect the pioneers. Still, no modern Bauls can even reach or dream of the inspiration of Purna Das Baul or Rabindranath Tagore’s inspiration, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. This is all just real 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 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

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
"Baul Sahaja is Krishna & Dattatreya Sahaja". Copyright and only mentioned by KD Babu Kishan
