From BabuKishan.org blog - Tagore and / Monohar Khyepa / Baba Pagla and my family (lineage Baul)

Do not copy and take the names off, no poaching !

Indigenous Baul Fraud and identity theft?

https://lineagebaul.blogspot.com/2025/02/indigenous-identity-theft-indigenous.html

I have been Composing, writing and producing all Baul Music from 1970’s, I have created a huge Baul Archive and Preserved Baul from the day I was born in 1962 !! I was awarded the youngest Music Composer in Bengal in 1970's at age 11.

https://bhavaproject.weebly.com/news-blog/some-poets-and-new-baul-singers

I made the road for all Bauls today, I made it easier for new comers to have a platform #Bauls to the World!! In the 1970's and 1980's as I was already traveling around the world teaching Baul from a young age.

I Still remember how #ShantidevGhosh the right hand of #RabindranathTagore used to degrade 'Sanatan Das Baul' and other Bauls, he only wanted only the Lineage Bauls, because he knew #NabaniDasBaul my grandfather, and if you ever knew Nabani and this lineage and the stories you would know that everybody followed Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and the Bauls in this lineage before him.

I am the one who gave a space & chance to have a seat with #BaulSamratPurnaDasBaul on the stage at Mela's especially Pous and Joy Dev Mela, so that the struggling new Bauls (mostly refugee's from Bangladesh) can also go in a flow and have a chance, including #SanatanBaul who was just copycat of my Grandfather in dance and copycat of Purna Das in dress, no matter whatever story you make. I knew Sanatana Das Baul and his sons and brought Sanatan to 'All India Radio' and the RadioStation and encouraged him to record, but it was not successful the record company did not like his voice, he went on my reference. He wanted my help and I tried to help him. He is Not a Baul Guru, he followed our family our songs, dance and dress. That whole group followed us and we helped them bringing many of the new Bauls on tour with us.

I supported Paban Das Baul who became a good folk singer and Paban’s brother (whatever happened to him) and others like #Subol, #Gour, I have watched what is going on and now am ready to tell the truth of how all came about, and will qualify all these stories and people in my new book to be released in 2018. (book is late late, it is 2021 now and should be released soon).

I have always been the in a mainstream supporter for #Bauls, I started Baulmela called 'Gopal Nagar' a huge successful festival. I always worked behind the scenes even in Bollywood with Amitabh Bachchan. I gave the New Baul singers a platform to sing with as much respect, clothes, money for decades.

And I made a easier way to sing a song in Guru’s name, Made so many to sit in the first row and helped compose music and recorded #BhabaPagla and #ManoharKhyepa poetry, which those where their first popular songs for them.
Bhaba Pagla was not a Baul, he was not from Baul he never called himself a Baul. He was a friend of Baul and used to visit and stay at the Purna Das Baul home in Calcutta.

http://bhabapagla.com/Bhaba_intro.htm
Babu used to spend so much time with Monahar Khyapa, he loved Babu Kishan. He always stayed at Babu Kishan's home when he came to Calcutta. Babu always gave him a really good place to stay, he had a problem with his leg so Babu set up a place on the first floor, and he remembers always giving him extra food and milk...

Babu introduced Carol Solomon, Usha Harding, Charles Cappwell to Monar Khepa to #BabaPagala another poet who Babu did the same for.

Babu Kishan introduced all outsiders to Baul around the world. Baul started to look like a good business that is why others followed and cut our names off taking our stories, and making up lineages.

#MonarKhepa was a poet and part of our family, he used to be with us all the time. I knew #MonarKhepa he was part of our family and had an ashram in JoyDev and most of the Bauls worked for him to have free food. #MonarKhepa always asked me to compose music to his lyrics and get to get my #purnadasbaul to sing. #MonarKhepa was not a Baul, he was poet, I know his story more than anybody.

Babu Kishan introduced Carol Solomon to Monar Khepa, he introduced her to everyone and pictures she took and others are using on their web sites, Babu Kishan was with Carol. Babu was her translator for Bengali in India and America. Baul was too difficult for her and she changed the line and made Baul 'Bangladesh Baul' which never existed before. The real story to come in Babu’s book.

Nitai Khepa and Sanatana Das Baul copied and followed around, 'Nabani Das Baul' or should I say tried to copy, Nabani was a Mystic Genuis you can not copy Baul essence.

Santana Das Baul used to talk behind Babu's back because Babu used to wear jeans and when Babu confronted him he would say I am just kidding. Nabani didn't even like these followers.

Babu Kishan knows all these new Bauls from a very young age and he will tell all in his new Book. He tried to help Sanatan Das Baul so many times.

If there is one thing Babu does not like it is dishonesty his own family could not train him to be untruthful.

When the late Carol Solomon took that picture of 'Nitai Khepa' who do you think Carol Solomon was with, she was with Babu Kishan? He introduced her to all.

Babu knew all these people personally Carol was his friend for decades, she too would stay at Babu Kishan's home and Babu would book them in the tourist lodge in Shantiniketan and when they were gone for a few days he found them in really bad shape. Too long of story to tell here but will be told in the book.

All Baul history now, real original #Bauls are gone and will go completely end after me because all the information is with Babu Kishan.

Rabindranath Tagore gave the title (Khepa) Khyapa Baul to Nabani Das Baul and used Khyapa Baul in all of his poetry and that Khepa Baul is only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul.

Now Bauls are only tourist attractions and just singers, at least please try to sing on a track and note rather than just screaming, dancing like plastic, we did a hard work dear, at least respect the #Pioneers.. still no #Bauls can even reach or dream as to #PurnaDasBaul or #RabindranathTagore’s inspiration #NabaniDasKhyapaBaul this all just real history.
Produced #Composed & some written the original Babu Kishan poetry on these albums by MusicLegend: #BabuKishan aka #KrishnenduDas

Monohar Khepa a poet who Babu Kishan knew very well, he used to stay at their house all the time, Babu had a special place for him to stay because it was too difficult to climb the stairs. Monohar Khepa always wanted Babu to compose music for his poetry and to try to get his dad to sing the poetry. He was a poet not a Baul, he followed this lineage of Baul.

Babu's dad Purna Das Baul claims in his book that Monhar Khepa was his Guru. In many ways everybody a Baul meet can be our Guru, Babu was very fond of Monahar Khepa and knew him well and liked him well, however, he never considered him a Baul Guru in the lineage of Baul Guru's he considered him a great poet.

Bhava (Bhaba) Pagla beside Purna Das Baul, he often stayed at Babu Kishan house and never claimed to be a Baul, he was a poet and a regular BABA not a Baul, he followed Baul, who Babu Kishan composed music for.

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.

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   
 #Baultantramantragopiyantra
"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

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.
