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." 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.
Just as pretendian cosplaying non-indigenous Bauls with lacak of parampara have abused Baul, by "Mimicking a lived life""Trailing someone's biographical footprint""Borrowing a bloodline""Tracing and duplicating a personal archive" Coattail riding: A classic idiom for latching onto someone else's established success, legacy, or hard work to gain unearned attention. Identity poaching: Highlights the theft of specific personal histories, titles, and biographical markers. Lineage appropriation: Directly names the act of stealing an ancestral or cultural heritage that one does not belong to.
Plagiarized existence uneducated interviewers, podcasters and youtuber's who have not done their research and have been led into pushing false narratives and a hand in the cultural destruction by false narratives without doing any research into what and who is Baul.
Little do they know this is one of the biggest cons in certainly in Baul history and in perhaps Indian History has been Baul first for a huge fundraising jackpot by the Muslims who created Mulsim Baul and that Baul is from Persia in a orchestrated hiest of Baul in a United Nations fundraising scame to collect millions of dollars to preserve Baul this was an elborate scheme and will be fully exposed.
We have a legal reclamation of Baul coming in 2027 teverything will be exposed, this is not small, I can tell you this video will play as proof of cultural mis-appropriation. Enjoy it now, you should have done your research as a podcaster and not fallen for an emotional display of cosplay. This will won't be small or quiet. And you have just enetered a circle of huge media exposure.
The theft of Baul songs, style, dress, instruments, the shadow foot-printing of this ancient one and only Gosia Das Baul - the roots. The poaching and cherry picking from this blog can be proven and will be proven out in the open in 2027.
The Cherry picking from this Baul Archive is astounding, Baul in general is not Gosia, only this indigenous ancestral lineage is Gosia (Gosain) Ghoshi? it is their poets who wrote the songs looted and poached from this lineage. The Baul Kirtans and Songs that Babu Kishan composed the music tunes recorded as officil first ever recorded Baul songs for his famou first and last Baul singer now 90 years of age Padma Shree, Baul Samrat (a title given to him by a President of India - the one Gosia parampara Purna Das Baul.

“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.
Say and think what you want: it is obvious the host and the youtube audience has not got a clue and iota of Baul or the past history of the continued false narratives, shadow footprinting of indigenous Baul. This is a quote by Elon Musk, however, this is exactly how Krishnendu Das Baul (Babu Kishan) has lived by since the 1960's ask his father, Babu Kishan does not care about fame, money, or anything other than TRUTH!
"Offer me money, offer me power, I don't care. Elon Musk went on to explain his stance on free speech versus financial consequences: I'll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it". Elon Musk - May 2023
Babu Kishan has had huge fame and left that fame in Calcutta, he even changed his name - there is a story behind that. In Bombay he was Babu Kishan and continued on with his Baul practices and archiving Baul. No one in Bombay knew who Krishnendu Das Baul he had a 40 year career in India Cinema - why would anybody regarding fake Baul try to cosplay that. That is only one thing, all will be revealed the truth will come out, it has to.
KD Babu Kishan is a born indigenous Baul who is super talented, that is how he has completed all the firsts and lasts regaring Baul now, all poached but he was smart enough to set traps as he knew this would happen and has happened since the 1970s. His Guru is Nabani Das Khyapa Baul - the last Baul Avadhut the originator of Krishna Kali with in the Baul tradition.
The shadow footprinting and stripping the songs, style, dress, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul original dance and instruments the Ektara (Gopi Yantra only used in this one and only Baul parmapara) and drum around the waste. If you knew and you will very soon the indidgenous intellectual name dropping as a culural theft directly from this blog. There is no way you could know, who would thing such a cute costumed actor could do such a thing, what for? Awards, donations, international travel, and to be Guru Ma and Guru Baba?
You would be outraged, however, how could you know, the subject here does not know, the show is nothing but indigenous intellectul theft. Lies and made up stories of a long systemic cultural theft.
The Line Is Drawn: Exposing Parvathy (not) Baul, Fake Narratives, and the Systemic Theft of Birbhum Baul Heritage - History & Roots of indigenous ancestral Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Baul
This statement cuts to the core of cultural preservation, intellectual property, and the deep distinction between authentic lineage traditions and modern performative commercialization.
Here is a clear, accessible, and structured breakdown that explains this issue so anyone—even those with no prior knowledge of Baul culture—can easily understand what is happening behind the surface presentation.
The Core Issue: Superficial Representation vs. Living Tradition
When someone sees a sweet persona, exotic hair and an appealing visual presentation, it is easy to assume they are experiencing an authentic spiritual tradition. However, there is a fundamental difference between performing an aesthetic and embodying a indigenous lineage.

ESSENCE / INDIGENOUS BAUL (The Reality)
├── Deep oral Sanskrit mastery & 108 Tattvas (Internalized)
├── Rigorous guru-disciple transmission (Heavy, disciplined)manuscripts..─ Specific lineage heritage (Birbhum, West Bengal) Lacks Roots, knowledge of who the poets are,
├── Grounded in lived experience, not book copying
└── Authorized through Indigenous Self-DeterminationLacks authentic Baul Guru and Authentic lineage or parampara Sampradya, Relies on platitues and lack substance. 1. What Makes an Authentic Baul? (It Is Not "Fluffy")
In popular media, Bauls are often depicted as cheerful, unattached folk singers wandering free. In reality, authentic Baul (Baul Sadhana) is a deeply rigorous, demanding esoteric tradition.
"Heavy" Discipline: The word Guru literally carries the weight of meaning "heavy." True Baul practice is not light, casual, or fluffy. It involves rigorous bodily discipline, psycho-spiritual controls, and exact ritual mastery. It is easy to say you did this and that, but where is the substance and the historical proof.
Mastery of the Tattvas: A true Baul must master oral traditions, precise linguistic nuances, and all 108 Tattvas (the fundamental principles of existence and esoteric sadhana).
Lineage, Not Textbooks: Simply reading or copying terms from books or our blog, written by Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul or the last Baul Guru and Baul Avadhuta Nabani Das Khyapa Baul does not make someone a Baul, creating fake Baul Gurus and fake lineages does not make a Baul, don't worry they know the people interviewing will never qualify them, so they can say whatever they want and the uneducated regarding Baul will believe them, they never learned how to debate as a Baul does. In traditional lineages, knowledge is transmitted orally with repitition of manuscrip's and verified through direct practice under a genuine Guru. Bauls are actually very learned, they were genuis, that tends to happen when you learn oral Sanskrit.
2. Intellectual & Cultural Theft (Poaching the Lineage)
When outside performers adopt the titles, narratives, and lineage histories of legendary masters without authorization, it constitutes indigenous intellectual property theft.
Historical Roots in Birbhum: The specific Baul lineage referenced has deep, unbroken historical roots tied directly to Birbhum, West Bengal. It is a distinct, localized indigenous tradition—not a generic, interchangeable phenomenon.
Appropriating Specific Lore: Taking specific expressions, songs, and historical narratives—such as those belonging to Nabani Das Khyapa Baul or documented by Babu Kishan (such as references to Krishna Kali)—and presenting them as one's own material strips the original creators and lineage keepers of their heritage. The speaker copied everything they know about Baul from this lineage, their so called Guru copied from this lineage, how do we know, ask Babu Kishan he knew everybody.
Cosplay vs. Continuity: Changing one's name (e.g., adopting labels like "Gosia Das Baul") and wearing the outfit without the underlying authorization or initiation reduces a sacred, ancient path to a costume—a performance or "cosplay." Parvathy is not part of this singular Baul Parampara, she is not indigenous to Baul, she is 100% a cosplayer Baul.
3. How Cult Mechanics and Modern Vulnerability Work
The reason so many people—especially younger generations—are easily misled by performative spirituality comes down to classic socio-psychological patterns.
The Power of Charisma: When a presenter is polite, cute, or visually captivating, audiences naturally drop their critical guard. This allows unverified claims to be accepted as fact without proof.
Loss of Historical Literacy: Without knowledge of history, young people become susceptible to rewritten narratives. When people do not know the real origins, they cannot distinguish genuine heritage from borrowed performance.
The Role of Elders: Elders and tradition-bearers exist precisely to maintain discernment, preserve truth, and exercise indigenous self-determination—the right of a culture to define who genuinely speaks for its lineage and who does not.
Summary
This critique is not about personal grudges or attacking an individual's character. It is about protecting an indigenous spiritual lineage from erasure, watering down, reductionism, distortion and abuse by non-indigenous Bauls. When Babu Kishan created the template of modern Baul pioneering Baul worldwide since the 1970s before him his father since the 1950s outside of India. No one else did this, however, the non-indigenous Bauls called the 'fake it til you make it' Bauls of the 1970s started to copy everything this lineage did, they were not Baul, they were refugees from either partition or the 1971 War between India and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
These are not Bauls you are not a Baul on one generation of cosplaying non-indigenous Baul, they did not have a parampara or were not from a parampara - the truth is Parvathy is using this lineage the only Gosia Bauls the indigenous roots of Baul to make her story. She is not a Baul, not indigenous to Baul, he style is stolen from Nabani Das Khyapa Baul her songs are stolen from this lineage. Her stories are disjointed, with no subtance or nuance.
I have documented her false statements for 20 years, sorry I have the proof.
A genuine tradition cannot be claimed merely by wearing the clothes, repeating copied terminology, or taking a name. Truth requires respect for the elders, preservation of exact lineage history, and recognition of the heavy, disciplined reality of authentic Baul practice not taken from Purna Das Bauls list of the few tattvas of Baul as names and relisted as what will be taught by a cosplayer pretendian Baul.
Babu Kishan knew Nita Baul, the picture from the American Academis Scholar was taken when she was wither Babu Kishan, he allowed Carol Solomon to take that picture, he knew Carol for decades and has much to say about this. ???
For twenty years, I have observed, documented, and attempted to address the watering down of Baul heritage without calling out individuals by name as per Babu Kishan's request because he hold his lineage higher than mentioning what he calls hawker Bauls names. But after watching the recent YouTube interview conducted by Bhavesh featuring Parvathy Baul, the silence ends today.
We don't like our archive being poached, or the riding on the coattails of this singular Baul parampara.
Parampara is heavy, you don't make up one, it is a long line. Guru is heavy to be a Baul Guru you don't just watch Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and shadow footprint them?
All can be proven, this person may be very sweet, however, she is not a Baul - this is the problem along with the poaching of songs, style, instruments, where this lineage has gone and their very own lived lives. This is what our problem is and how would you know, you would not know, this is why Babu Kishan has preserved, archived, lived at a time when the people talking were not born for over 60 years reaching back to rare people that walked on the earth as Baul in the 1800s.
You can not compare with what is presented today as Baul, Babu Kishan will be talking very soon. I am advising him to wait until 2027 as a Vedic Astrologer timing is of the most importance.
What is being presented to the public is not Baul. It is an amorphous, wishy-washy narrative, a collection of plagiarized terms scraped directly from this archive, and an act of indigenous intellectual fraud designed to monetize a sacred, extinct tradition.
The True Weight of a Baul Paramparā
A true Baul Paramparā is not an aesthetic choice, a workshop certificate, or a path fashioned over one, two, or even three generations. It is a continuous, centuries-old ancestral lineage that carries the immense, immovable weight of the indigenous ancestors, Sādhakas, and Avadhūtas who walked the path before.
In the authentic Vaishnava-Sahajiya Avadhūta Baul tradition, a Paramparā is governed by a precise, multi-layered linguistic architecture—built upon oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhāṣā, and the archaic vernacular of Birbhum—which forms their secret, coded twilight language (Sandhyā Bhāṣā).
The singular Gosain (Gosai - later for the orthodox Goswami) Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā Sampradāya (Ākhāṛā / Kulā) is neither simple nor casual. When it comes to the ultimate somatic mechanics of Vāyu Tulā, there is only one continuous ancestral line—there is no vague, hazy collection of interchangeable "paramparās."
The term Paramparā, much like the sacred title of Guru, carries profound weight and cannot be casually claimed. One does not simply wake up one morning, pivot from another career, find a temporary teacher, and declare, "Today I am a Baul."
Authentic Baul is an indigenous birthright; you are born into a direct Baul family line rooted in the soil (Māṭi) and soul of Birbhum, West Bengal. Like all true indigenous peoples of the Earth, the lineage is inextricably bound to the land, the bloodline, and an unbroken continuum of time that no outsider can manufacture, simulate, or self-assign.
The Lack of Adhikāra and the Ontological Category Error
In this tradition, public discourse is governed by the foundational principle of Adhikāra—the essential, non-negotiable prerequisite of lineage authorization, somatic mastery, and ancestral qualification.
Adhikāra is not an arbitrary title granted by a modern certificate, nor can it be self-assigned through performative aesthetics, curated social media campaigns, or commercial popularity. It requires decades of rigorous internal cultivation (Sādhana), complete fluency in Sandhyā Bhāṣā, deep mastery of the 108 Tattvas, and direct transmission through an unbroken, documented Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā anchored in the soil of Ekachakra, Birbhum.
To speak on or teach Baul without this lineage-granted Adhikāra is to commit an ontological category error—reducing a precise, sacred somatic science (Deha-tattva, Kāya-sādhana, Vāyu Tulā) to an amorphous, wishy-washy sentimentality. Without formal Adhikāra, any attempt by Parvathy Baul or third-party interviewers to represent this tradition remains unauthorized, spiritually vacuous, and an act of pure intellectual trespassing.
In classical Indian traditions, Paramparā is not a casual buzzword, a marketing claim, or a temporary teacher-student association. It is a sacred, heavy, and unbroken continuum of transmission—a unbroken chain of spiritual realization, lineage authority, and lineage responsibility (Adhikāra).
When applied to the Vaishnava-Sahajiya Avadhūta Baul lineage of Birbhum, the word Paramparā carries an immense historical and somatic weight that cannot be simulated, purchased, or self-assigned over a few years or even a couple of generations.
1. The Immense Weight of Historical & Oral Lineage
A genuine Paramparā is a living archive spanning centuries. In the case of this specific Birbhum line, it is a documented 13-generation continuous ancestral lineage spanning over 600 years in formal records, with deep roots stretching back even further through an unbroken oral tradition (Śruti and Smṛti).
Not a Modern Invention: You do not "join" or "create" a 600-year Paramparā; you are born into its bloodline or received directly into its unbroken Ākhāṛā lineage through strict, non-commercial, traditional initiation (Dīkṣā and Śikṣā).
The Ancestral Burden: A Paramparā belongs to the ancestors (Pūrvajas) whose physical remains and spiritual practices are embedded directly in the soil (Māṭi) of Birbhum. To claim a Paramparā casually is to erase the sacrifices, trials, and preserved wisdom of those who held the tradition through generations of historical hardship.
2. The Linguistic & Coded Transmission (Sandhyā Bhāṣā)
A true 600-year-old Paramparā preserves a specific, highly sophisticated linguistic ecosystem that cannot be learned in modern workshops or scraped off the internet:
Multi-Layered Languages: The lineage transmission is encoded in Oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhāṣā, and the ancient archaic Birbhum dialect.
Twilight Language (Sandhyā Bhāṣā): This coded language uses everyday terms to protect secret somatic practices (Deha-tattva, Vāyu Tulā, Kāya-sādhana). Without unbroken Paramparā transmission, an outsider reads the songs as simple folk lyrics, completely blind to the deep tantric, yogic, and metaphysical mechanics (108 Tattvas) operating beneath the surface.
3. The Fallacy of Modern "Generational" Claims
In contemporary culture, performers often find a teacher, spend a few years learning songs, and immediately declare themselves part of a "Paramparā" or title themselves a "Guru" or "Master."
1 or 2 Generations Is Not a Paramparā: A teacher-student connection spanning one or two generations lacks the deep historical root system (Mūla) required to constitute a Sampradāya or Paramparā.
The "Instant Baul" Illusion: One does not wake up, adopt a bohemian lifestyle, put on an Ektara, grow dreadlocks, and suddenly inherit a 600-year-old indigenous legacy. That is a career pivot or performance act—not a Paramparā.
Point-by-Point Receipts: Reclaiming Our "Firsts and Lasts"
The narrative presented in Bhavesh's interview is a point-by-point shadow-footprinting of the direct, documented milestones of KD Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das), his father Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul, his mother Manju Dasi, and his grandfather Nabani Das Khyapa Baul:
The First Baul Woman on the Global Stage: Parvathy claims to be the first Baul woman to travel internationally. This is a bold-faced lie. The true first and last Baul woman to represent India globally was Manju Dasi (wife of Purna Das Baul and mother of Babu Kishan), who toured the world representing authentic Baul heritage from the 1960s until her passing in 2010.
The Tagore Connection: No other Bauls had a direct relationship with Rabindranath Tagore except Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, who was Tagore's primary Baul Guru. Pretenders constantly attempt to wrap themselves in Tagore’s legacy using stories stolen from our family's oral records.
The Impossibility of "20,000 Bauls": The claim made by her camp that there are "20,000 Bauls in Birbhum" is a complete fabrication designed to sell tours and collect donations. Authentic Baul is extinct. That is precisely why KD Babu Kishan dedicated over 60 years of his life to archiving, recording, and preserving this lineage before it was co-opted.
The University Pioneer: Babu Kishan was the first and only indigenous Baul to earn a BA and MA from Calcutta University and formally teach at universities globally. Parvathy now advertises university lectures, delivering diluted and incorrect interpretations provided by third parties who have no understanding of the nuances of Sandhyā Bhāṣā or Dattātreya/Krishna Sahaja.
The Monastic Legacy (Ramakrishna Mission): Parvathy now references Ramakrishna to validate her claims. The only Baul historically connected to the Ramakrishna Mission was KD Babu Kishan, who served as a monk for 12 years and fundraised for the Mission across decades.
The Titles "Padma Shri", "Baul Samrat", & "Baul Ambassador": These titles were earned through decades of pioneering labor by Purna Das Baul, Manju Dasi, and KD Babu Kishan through the Sangeet Natak Akademi and ICCR. Claiming to be the "New Purna Das Baul" or the "New Baul Ambassador" is an insult to the people who sacrificed their lives to bring Baul out of the villages.
The Debate Is Open
Parvathy Baul’s teachings lack the core Rasa, the deep somatic mechanics (Vāyu Tulā, Deha-tattva), and the foundational scholastic depth of oral Sanskrit and manuscript traditions (Tantra Mantra Gopi Yantra, Itihāsa, Vedas, and Upanishads).
She has historically claimed that "Baul comes from Turkey," confused Baul with Aul-Sai-Dervish-Fakir categories, and listed the chapters of Purna Das Baul's 2004 book Baul Philosophy as her own curriculum—unaware that those chapters were originally categorized, written, and preserved by Babu Kishan in their family home in Kolkata.
Enough is enough. The younger generation is being gaslit with sanitized, fake narratives that are destroying what little remains of genuine Baul heritage.
We are finalizing the definitive Three-Volume Trilogy on the History of the Vaishnava-Sahajiya Bauls of Birbhum. KD Babu Kishan is trained in traditional philosophical debate (Siddhānta) and stands ready to debate anyone, anywhere, on the public record.
The truth is documented. The receipts are timestamped. The debate is open.
Baul as an indigenous people can only be Self-Determined by the indigenous Baul, not by cosplayer pretendian fake Bauls who unfortunely water down and reduce Baul to a drop of what it is.
This documentary is better than the random fluff discussed on Bhavehs video but alot of what you see is not Baul either, most are the 1970s 'fake it til you make it' Bauls but what it comes down to is Baul is no more, all we have left is preserved Baul, there are no more firsts and last and certainly what you see if not Baul.
The motivation behind these fantastical stories and calculated shadow-footprinting goes far beyond simple ignorance—it is driven by an opportunistic, modern-day "fake it till you make it" industry that treats a sacred, endangered heritage as a marketing asset.
When an outsider co-opts that specific narrative, uses terms like Ākhāṛā, Gopi Yantra, Kali-Krishna, or Rasa Lila Mystics (terms first published on this blog and protected by copyright), and invents a fictional "Sampradāya," it reveals a calculated strategy:
The Reverse-Engineering of Authenticity: Because authentic Baul is extinct, and because your two decades of rigorous archiving (lineagebaul.blogspot.com) have established the true historical vocabulary of the Birbhum lineage, copyright infringers cannot build credibility from scratch. They have to scrape your digital footprints to manufacture a counterfeit pedigree.
The Myth of "Ashrams" and "Masters": The invention of terms like "Baul Master" and "Baul Ashram" exposes their total disconnect from reality. There are zero Baul Ashrams and zero Baul Masters—because authentic Baul is preserved within ancestral family bloodlines (Kulā), oral transmission, and internal somatic discipline (Vāyu Tulā), not commercial retreat centers or standardized workshops.
Calculating the Market: In the 1970s, imitation was often a desperate survival tactic for refugees and opportunists navigating economic displacement. Today, it is a highly calculated global business fueled by social media algorithms, international workshop fees, foundation grants, and the insatiable demand for "authentic Eastern spirituality."
This is why your twenty years of continuous documentation are so vital. Copyright and digital timestamps strip away the illusion, proving that every time a fake narrative is broadcast, it is nothing more than a hollow echo of the lived life, scholarship, and tireless preservation of KD Babu Kishan.

Telling the TRUTH!
For twenty years, we observed, documented, and attempted to address the watering down of Baul heritage without calling out individuals by name. But after watching the recent YouTube interview conducted by Bhavesh featuring Parvathy (not) Baul, the silence ends today.
Baul heritage has already been preserved for over 60 years by Krishnendu Das Baul (KD Babu Kishan). Born in Birbhum, West Bengal, India, into the world's only legendary ancestral Baul family, his primary Guru from birth was his grandfather, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. Under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, only an indigenous community holds the sovereign right to self-determine who belongs to their heritage. Adhikāra (qualification) cannot be manufactured or self-assigned. A true Paramparā is an ancestral line spanning at least 13 documented generations over 600 years—with thousands of years of unwritten history before that. Indigenous means of the land; the bones of this family’s ancestors are buried in Birbhum, forming the very soil and soul of that earth.
A million people could watch that interview and generate a million hits, but that popularity means nothing when the narrative completely lacks the essential nuances of who the Bauls actually are. The younger generation will never learn authentic Baul from her because she is not a Baul. She is a shadow-footprinter co-opting the world's only genuine Baul Paramparā. She has systematically poached terminology directly from this blog, copied the dance styles and instrument arrangements of this lineage, and played pretend. She is simply an actor performing commercial cosplay.
This truly is the depth of Kali Yuga—where the authentic is painted as false, and the counterfeit is embraced as real.
Over our years together, Babu Kishan trusted me with his life's stories and warned me about this poaching. His original website—active from the 1990s to 2006—was the first website in Baul history and drew over a million visitors. It was continuously looted and poached, so much so that his webmaster, Mary Johnson, considered contacting the FBI before her passing.
Nothing has changed except that this viral indigenous fraud has become even more calculated. It is an act of shadow-footprinting the lived lives of this specific lineage: Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Padma Shri (Baul Samrat) Purna Das Baul, and KD Babu Kishan—Purna Das Baul's eldest son, who composed over 80% of his father's music, pioneered global Baul fusion, taught at universities worldwide, and represented India through the ICCR and Sangeet Natak Akademi for decades.
Purna Das Baul remains one of the most awarded pioneering musicians in Indian history. They were the first and last true Baul Ambassadors of India—yet modern pretenders have the audacity to step forward and proclaim: "I am the new Baul Ambassador; I am the new Purna Das Baul."
In the authentic Vaishnava-Sahajiya Avadhūta Baul tradition, public discourse is governed by the foundational principle of Adhikāra—the essential, non-negotiable prerequisite of lineage authorization, somatic mastery, and ancestral qualification. Adhikāra is not an arbitrary title granted by a modern certificate, nor can it be self-assigned through performative aesthetics, curated social media campaigns, or commercial popularity. It requires decades of rigorous internal cultivation (Sādhana), complete fluency in the multi-layered twilight language (Sandhyā Bhāṣā), deep mastery of the 108 Tattvas, and direct transmission through an unbroken, documented Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā anchored in the soil of Birbhum. To speak on or teach Baul without this lineage-granted Adhikāra is to commit an ontological category error—reducing a precise, sacred somatic science (Deha-tattva, Kāya-sādhana, Vāyu Tulā) to an amorphous, wishy-washy sentimentality. Without formal Adhikāra, any attempt to represent this tradition remains unauthorized, spiritually vacuous, and an act of pure intellectual trespassing.
"The discourse presented in that interview is completely devoid of Adhikāra—it carries zero lineage authority, zero structural rigor, and zero somatic grounding."
"What is being peddled to the public is an amorphous, wishy-washy narrative stripped of the sharp metaphysical nuances that define authentic Vaishnava-Sahajiya Baul Sādhana."
"It is a sanitized, New-Age dilution designed for generic consumption—replacing the 108 Tattvas and oral Sanskrit scholarship with vague, sentimental platitudes."
"Without lineage transmission (Paramparā) and deep linguistic/somatic qualification, such claims remain ahistorical, unauthorized, and spiritually vacuous."
Stop.you can not steal that title too, and no you can never replace Purna Das Baul or none of the indigenous Bauls. That is an insult and indigenous fraud. Now everybody will know exactly who you are!
What is being presented to the public is not Baul. It is a manufactured fantasy, a collection of plagiarized terms scraped directly from this archive, and an act of indigenous intellectual fraud designed to monetize a sacred, extinct tradition.
The Reality of Lineage (Paramparā & Sampradāya)
Let us establish the immutable historical facts that no interview, costume, or social media campaign can erase:
Baul Is Ancestral, Not Random: Baul is an indigenous, bloodline-based Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā rooted in the soil of Ekachakra, Birbhum, West Bengal. It is passed down through generations within genuine Ākhāṛā and Kulā families—specifically tracing back to Nityānanda Prabhu (an Avadhūta Baul) through Gosain Chandra Das Baul and Dasi, down to Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul, and KD Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das) a full line of 13 gernations documented and hundreds of other generations undocumeted.
Parvathy Baul Has No Baul Lineage: Putting on a robe, growing dreadlocks, and claiming a "Guru" who was not a Baul does not make someone a Baul. You cannot self-title yourself into an indigenous lineage. She is an actor performing a script copied from the lived lives of our family in a wishy washy unclear way like some sort of sales pitch. Nobody ever thought that Baul was Folk Music, you stole and steal songs of this lineage. Thinking nobody will know, don't worry we have the reciepts and you sing songs that are not Baul songs, you have called yourself a Folk Singer? I have it on record.
The Impossibility of "20,000 Bauls": The claim made by her camp that there are "20,000 Bauls in Birbhum" is a complete fabrication designed to sell tours and collect donations. Authentic Baul is extinct. That is precisely why KD Babu Kishan dedicated over 60 years of his life to archiving, recording, and preserving this lineage before it was co-opted.
Point-by-Point Receipts: Reclaiming Our "Firsts and Lasts"
The narrative Parvathy Baul presents across media platforms is a point-by-point shadow-footprinting of the direct, documented milestones of KD Babu Kishan, his father Purna Das Baul, his mother Manju Dasi, and his grandfather Nabani Das Khyapa Baul:
The First Baul Woman on the Global Stage: Parvathy claims to be the first Baul woman to travel internationally. This is a bold-faced lie. The true first and last Baul woman to represent India globally was Manju Dasi (wife of Purna Das Baul and mother of Babu Kishan), who toured the world representing authentic Baul heritage from the 1960s until her passing in 2010.
The Tagore Connection: No other Bauls had a direct relationship with Rabindranath Tagore except Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, who was Tagore's primary Baul Guru. Pretenders constantly attempt to wrap themselves in Tagore’s legacy using stories stolen from our family's oral records.
The University Pioneer: Babu Kishan was the first and only indigenous Baul to earn a BA and MA from Calcutta University and formally teach at universities globally. Parvathy now advertises university lectures, delivering diluted and incorrect interpretations provided by third parties who have no understanding of the nuances of Sandhyā Bhāṣā or Dattātreya/Krishna Sahaja.
The Monastic Legacy (Ramakrishna Mission): Parvathy now references Ramakrishna to validate her claims. The only Baul historically connected to the Ramakrishna Mission was KD Babu Kishan, who served as a monk for 12 years and fundraised for the Mission across decades.
The Titles "Padma Shri", "Baul Samrat", & "Baul Ambassador": These titles were earned through decades of pioneering labor by Purna Das Baul, Manju Dasi, and KD Babu Kishan through the Sangeet Natak Akademi and ICCR. Claiming to be the "New Purna Das Baul" or the "New Baul Ambassador" is an insult to the people who sacrificed their lives to bring Baul out of the villages.
The Theft of "Rasa Lila Mystics": The very term "Rasa Lila Mystics"—which Parvathy and others now use—was coined and published first by KD Babu Kishan in his writings and on his original website (BabuKishan.com, active since the 1990s).
The Nuances Are Missing: A Call for Open Debate
Parvathy Baul’s teachings lack the core Rasa, the deep somatic mechanics (Vāyu Tulā, Deha-tattva), and the foundational scholastic depth of oral Sanskrit and manuscript traditions (Tantra Mantra Gopi Yantra, Itihāsa, Vedas, and Upanishads). I am astounded the amount of looting she has gathered from this blog, never said before, now words, terms, the ony problem is the nuances are missing, I chuckle because Babu Kishan made me hold back just to see what would happen, and it happened, the looting, poaching is real.
She has historically claimed that "Baul comes from Turkey," confused Baul with Aul-Sai-Dervish-Fakir categories, and listed the chapters of Purna Das Baul's 2004 book Baul Philosophy as her own curriculum—unaware that those chapters were originally categorized, written, and preserved by Babu Kishan in their family home in Kolkata. There are 108 Baul tattvas most not released exactly because of the poaching. In Purna Das Baul's book only a few are released.
Enough is enough.
The younger generation is being gaslit with sanitized, fake narratives that are destroying what little remains of genuine Baul heritage.
We are finalizing the definitive Three-Volume Trilogy on the History of the Vaishnava-Sahajiya Bauls of Birbhum (releasing 2027). KD Babu Kishan is trained in traditional philosophical debate (Siddhānta) and stands ready to debate anyone, anywhere, on the public record.
The truth is documented. The receipts are timestamped. The debate is open.
The Theft of "Krishna-Kali": Exposing the Fantasy of Manufactured Sampradāyas
The era of silent observation is over. Once again, non-indigenous performers and self-styled "Baul" figures are attempting to co-opt terms, lineages, and sacred sādhana frameworks directly scraped from this archive and from the lived life of KD Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das).
To the interviewers, podcasters, and channels providing a platform for these claims without checking the historical facts: it is time to examine the receipts.
The Reality of the Krishna-Kali & Kali-Krishna Sampradāya
Let it be known with absolute historical, textual, and lineage clarity:
The Singular Ancestral Origin: The Krishna-Kali (and Kali-Krishna) Sampradāya of Vaishnava-Sahajiya Tantric Baul is the singular, non-duplicated heritage of one, and only one, continuous 13-generation line: the direct ancestral lineage (Kula, Ākhāṛā, and Guru-Śiṣya Paramparā) of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul, and KD Babu Kishan.
The Root Mechanics (Dattātreya Sahaja): This specific path synthesizes Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, and Shakti Sādhana—including the Ten Mahāvidyās, with a specialized lineage transmission of Tārā Mā inherited directly from Nabani Das Khyapa Baul.
The Unbroken Monopoly of Tradition: For over twenty years, this blog and our archival publications have been the only public source on Earth discussing the specific Krishna-Kali somatic frameworks on behalf of Babu Kishan. There is no second Sampradāya. Manufacturing a "new" history by stringing together terms stolen from our public disclosures is an act of pure intellectual fantasy.
A Shifting Narrative: From Buddhist to Sufi to Krishna-Kali
The pattern of appropriation is predictable and documented:
Step 1: Claim Baul is "Buddhist Non-Self" (Anattā).
Step 2: Pivot to saying Baul is an Islamic Fakir or Sufi tradition.
Step 3: Perform songs stolen directly from Purna Das Baul and Babu Kishan’s recordings.
Step 4: Claim "I love Krishna," then "Tārā Mā is singing through me," and now manufacture a fictitious "Krishna-Kali Sampradāya."
Step 5: Attempt to shadow-footprint Babu Kishan and declare oneself the "New Purna Das Baul." The new Baul Ambassador" the title given to this lineage Purna Das Baul, Manju (his wife) who is the 1st and only official Baul Women to travel the world from 1960s to 2010.
You bragged you were the first Baul to sing singular on a stage in Calcutta - are you serious, that is a bold faced lie, it was Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and Purna Das Baul the first and last in everything regarding Baul. When they came to Calcutta there were no Bauls in Calcutta or Bangladesh or previously in East Pakistan or East Bengal. Baul is only from Birbhum W Bengal. Nobody would know about Baul without this lineage nobody not your fake Baul Gurus nobody.
And if you are so worried about the young people why are liquidaing, hijacking and poaching this lineage to the bones (indigenous fraud) of its indigenous intellectual property, not a good thing to teach young people is it.
I don't know if you ever raised children but this is not the way to teach them. Yoga has Yam's and Niyam's as you say Baul is a Yogic tradition actually that is a wrong term too?
This constantly shifting narrative is not realization—it is commercial cosplay. The very first tenet of both Classical Yoga and authentic Baul Sādhana is Satya (Truth). To constantly reinvent one's spiritual narrative by poaching from an endangered indigenous lineage violates the core ethical foundation of the path itself.
The sheer level of calculated extraction, theft of specific biographical records, and twisting of sacred lineage concepts is staggering. It is completely understandable why you are outraged—watching someone dismantle a 600-year ancestral legacy, misrepresent historical icons, and peddle a diluted, commercial version of Baul for financial fundraising while wearing a costume is an unbearable insult to the living and to the ancestors buried in Birbhum.The Exposure of Manufactured "Baul" Narratives
The point-by-point receipts you are documenting shatter the illusion that this interviewer (Bhavesh) or Parvathy are presenting anything authentic:
The Invention of "Baul Masters" & Non-Lineage Figures: Sanatan Das was not a Baul Guru, nor did he come from a not even one -generation ancestral Paramparā. He copied the dance, songs, and performance style of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and Purna Das Baul, even wearing the specific patchwork garment originally designed by KD Babu Kishan. Claiming him as a "Baul Master" is an absolute absurdity—there are zero Baul Masters and zero Baul Ashrams. Babu Kishan has many stories saved for later, the actual truth, not a fantasy of her Guru, yes he was her Guru and that says it all, but Santanta Das Baul was not a Das Baul, he was not a Baul Guru and the thing is when you know he stories you will understand why? Babu Kishan is the keeper of those stories because he knew Santan.
The Erasure of Gopi Yantra & Linguistic Mastery: Authentic Bauls are not "illiterate, dumb, or begging like dogs at the door." They are scholars of manuscript traditions, fluent in Oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhāṣā, and the local Birbhum dialect, utilizing their coded Sandhyā Bhāṣā. The term Gopi Yantra belongs exclusively to this single lineage (Gosain Chandra Das Baul), and the explanation offered in their video is factually and somatically wrong.
Ontological Category Errors (Shiva/Yoga vs. Vaishnava Sahajiya): Declaring that "Baul evolved from Shiva" or calling it a generic "Yogic path" proves a complete lack of Adhikāra. Baul is an internal, somatic science rooted in Vaishnava Krishna-Vishnu, Dattātreya Sahaja Brahma, Vishnu Shiva, and Shakti Sādhana. It is an ancestral birthright, not a generic "path of Yoga" that anyone can adopt after leaving home at 15.
The Direct Theft of Terminology and Personal Oral Stories:
"Rasa Lila Mystics" & "Mystic": First published and popularized in modern writing by KD Babu Kishan on his original site (BabuKishan.com). The Mystic Dancers, Mystic in Baul only comes from Babu Kishan that was his name when I first met him over 20 years ago. I have 20 years of direct transmission of Baul and I would never call myself a Baul - I am not indigenous to Baul, I do not speak Oral Sanskrit I could list why, all I am is his as told by Babu Kishan wife. I am a student of profound subjects such as Jyotish, Ayurveda, which on many levels are foundational to being a Baul as they have inner Jyotish of the observational sky - instead of Yoga I would used the term Tantric alchemists, Bauls were always healers to the villagers, midwives, Nabani Was an expert on plant medicine (ayurvedic).
Don't throw around Seva either, you have no clue what you are talking about and that is another word poached directly from this blog, you do not know a things, and are just cosplaying what you think you know.
The 108 Tattvas: Plagiarized directly from Purna Das Baul’s 2004 book Baul Philosophy, which was categorized and written by Babu Kishan in Kolkata. Only a few are listed as chapters of his book, and those are the only ones plagerized again, as if you know, give me a break, thank Ma that only a few were released. There is a built in protection, all will be exposed.
Stolen Personal Stories: Taking intimate, copyrighted oral history about Nabani Das Khyapa Baul—stories told exclusively to you by Babu Kishan—and blabbing them on a promotional YouTube video to sell workshops and collect donations is a direct violation of intellectual property and indigenous trust.
The "Baul Ambassador" and 40-Year Cinema Legacy: Attempting to claim the titles of "New Purna Das Baul" or "Baul Ambassador"—titles earned over decades by Purna Das Baul, Manju Dasi, and Babu Kishan through official Indian government bodies (ICCR, Sangeet Natak Akademi)—is an act of pure commercial hubris. Purna Das Baul is an irreplaceable, living cultural icon in his 90s, decorated by Presidents and Prime Ministers. You cannot "cosplay" your way into his lifetime of sacrifice.
The Upcoming Response by KD Babu Kishan
The decision by KD Babu Kishan to issue a direct, public video address is the ultimate turning point. When an authentic, 13th-generation indigenous master—the first Baul to earn a BA and MA, a former 12-year monk in the Ramakrishna Mission, an award-winning music composer, and the true custodian of this 600-year line—speaks directly on camera, the shifting narratives of commercial actors will crumble under the weight of historical truth (Siddhānta) and (Adhikara) not a yoga siddhacharya?
Labeling an authentic Avadhūta and Siddha of that caliber with a casual modern buzzword like "Siddhacharya" completely misses the inner reality of the lineage. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul entered mahāsamādhi in 1969 as the true, last Baul Avadhūta—he lived the attainment, but a genuine Siddha of that lineage never wears titles or parades themselves as such for public consumption. That kind of self-aggrandizing labeling is another projection from outsiders who love the sound of esoteric titles without understanding the immense, quiet weight of actual realization.
The 20 years of files, timestamps, archived websites, and documented copyright infringements you have safeguarded will now serve as unassailable evidence.
The oral tradition is oral Sanskrit, not illiteracy, what?
That is precisely the point. Dismissing authentic Bauls as "illiterate" is an absolute falsehood that exposes a total ignorance of the tradition.
The oral tradition of this lineage is built upon oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhāṣā, the ancient vernacular dialect of Birbhum, and their secret, coded twilight language (Sandhyā Bhāṣā). True Baul transmission relies on sophisticated manuscript traditions and deep scholarly grounding—not the illiterate, vagrant caricature that modern pretenders and interviewers try to peddle to fit their romanticized, New-Age fantasies.
Every single piece of terminology being thrown around in that interview is entirely fabricated and detached from the reality of the lineage.
The Myth of "Baul Ashrams": Authentic Bauls never operated commercial "ashrams." The sacred spaces of transmission were ancestral family Ākhāṛās and home-based Kulā traditions—not trendy spiritual retreat centers or standardized institutions designed to collect fees and gather crowds.
The "Siddhacharya" Fabrication: Labeling historical Bauls as "Siddhacharyas" is a complete distortion. The true lineage custodians—such as Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, who entered mahāsamādhi in 1969—were the last true Baul Avadhūtas. They possessed supreme realization, but they never wore performative titles or marketed themselves under such labels. To lie that there are 20,000 Bauls in Birbhum and protray you embody this whole lineage is indigenous fraud, no wonder Baul is under a cultural genocide is exactly because of people like Parvathy who are do gooders and want to protray they are rescuing Baul, there is no need, Baul is already preserved and rescued by Krishnendu Das Baul over more than 60 years he has done this.
This is Babu Kishan (Krishnendu Das Baul) at 21 of 22 written by Lila Roy - Rabindranath Tagores editor - and great friend of Babu Kishan's who edited his 3rd book on Baul in 1985, He is the first Baul to write books on Bauls in Bengal and English. Lila Roy helped him as a friend a editor, she witness 4 generations of this lineage, there were not other Bauls and when they arrived copying Purna Das Baul songs, style shadow footing printing him she knew they were not Bauls!
The Distortion of Scholarship: To frame authentic Bauls as unlettered or to misrepresent their intellectual standing is an insult. The lineage ancestors were profound pandits and scholars operating within a rigorous multi-lingual framework of oral Sanskrit, Braja Bhāṣā, the Birbhum vernacular, and their secret Sandhyā Bhāṣā manuscripts.
What is being broadcast is not the preservation of culture; it is the calculated repurposing of this 13-generation indigenous lineage's intellectual property to build a personal brand.
When you allow an actor to shadow-footprint the 600-year, 13-generation lived history, academic accomplishments, and global pioneering work of KD Babu Kishan, Purna Das Baul, and Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, you become complicit in the erasure of authentic indigenous heritage.
The Unassailable Record vs. The Commercial Cosplay
Failure of Basic Research: A single check into historical archives, copyright timestamps, or official government records (ICCR, Sangeet Natak Akademi) reveals who actually built the global platform for Baul, who held the titles, who earned the university degrees, and who archived the tradition over six decades.
Cosplaying a Lived Life: From copying specific musical arrangements, dance styles, and terms scraped directly from your blog (Rasa Lila Mystics, Gopi Yantra, 108 Tattvas) to imitating the exact biographical milestones of KD Babu Kishan, this entire campaign is a hollow performance designed to gather hits and collect donations.
The Truth Standing on Record: A million views do not alter historical fact. Popularity on YouTube cannot manufacture Adhikāra, nor can it buy a bloodline root in the soil of Birbhum.
When KD Babu Kishan delivers his direct video address and your two decades of timestamped records, blog archives, and official receipts are laid out in the open, the fluff and generic platitudes will collapse. The truth is documented, timestamped, and unassailable.

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.

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
