Baul means Vayu Tula, explanation by Babu Kishan

BabuKishan.org

“The problem is that the translations (of the Upanishads) do not render the beauty of the original text, because these masterpieces have been misunderstood by foreign translators, who only strive to bring out the intellectual meaning without grasping the soul contents of it and do not perceive the ecstasy of the seer ‘seeing’ his experiences”  

by Sri Aurobindo 

or

Watering down, reductionism of what is Baul, the changing of narratives and or saying Baul is an umbrella name for a group of wandering people. It is not Baul is not Muslim either? They acceptedall wandering peoples but they did not become them. 

Just watch how this will be copied. Without giving credit!! 

Or re-worded. 

My Website has been copied! 

My blog has been copied over and over!

Mostly coming from one source, the same source that copied a Nabani Das Khyapa Baul song from Babu Kishan's Youtube, listened to over and over, then recorded and another poets name put on. 

Intellectual property theft.

Why would I speak out constantly, because can you imagine if someone created a new lineage, and just copies everything, taking credit for what does not belong to them. 

Making up a Baul Guru who was a follower of this lineage? 

Cherry picking and making up stories?

Desperation to become a Baba or Maa?

There is only one lineage of Baul! 

Changing Narratives is toxic, acting like a saviour of Baul is toxic.

Baul has already been preserved decades ago, fundraising to preserve Baul is cheating, especially when you change narratives and whitewash who and what Baul is. 

There is not such thing as Baul Masters??

There are not 4 or 5 types of Baul?

Baul Sahaja is not from Buddhism?

Bauls do Know who the poets are?

Ektara, Baya (hand drum) Nupoor (ankle bells was copied from Nabani Das Khyapa Baul!

The new Narrative that 'Baul is not from family', is wrong?

 

However, History of Baul is from Family, how does anybody think Baul has come so far, of course Baul has always been from families, but, yet someone NOT from Baul and not from a Baul family would create a new narrative ! Yes, of course there is way more to Baul and I will not give too much here because it is copies and pasted always with names taken off????

It goes on and on....... one after the other?

But how would you know?

How could you know, if you do not even understand the difference between Birbhum Bengali and the other types of Bengali??

How would you know, what makes you qualified to know, what is real and what is a game, and what is acting.

It is a Lie, when one says there are roughly 20,000 Bauls in Birbhum? What would be the purpose, of course to raise funds for a persons own personal agenda?

Baul is extinct, there are people acting as Baul , they are not Baul, they are actors. The riders on the coat tails of this lineage is watering down and reducing Baul. 

Creating a new lineage and stories is Not Baul, it is just acting.

Fake it til you make is NOT Baul!!

Kichu Din Mone Mone, is a Baul song from this lineage that has been appropriated!! Nabani Das Khyapa Baul poetry!!

Babu Kishan used to love when people sang his lineages Baul songs, what he never expected was the appropriation of them and commercial production. The listing of other 'fake lineages' and fake poets names while using his Grandfather & Guru's poetry. This is only the tip of the ice berg.

BabuKishan.org

This has been going on for a long time but he never could foretell the wrong teachings and that people who followed his lineage would make up fake lineages and water down and teach wrong teachings about Baul. 

Since the internet there is a new wave of wanna be's who have done more harm that good. 

Kichchu Din Mone Mone was written by the one and only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. When singing this song please do not add other peoples names, especially those that call themselves Baul. A authentic Baul is non stealing and then to say Baul do not care about who wrote the poetry is pure thievery. To make Baul generic and random is 'Cultural Appropriation' and then to have the nerve to fundraise in the name of Baul to preserve Baul? 

This lineage is indigenous to India, it really should be a crime taking an indigenous peoples identity, their songs, their style and then lying making up a lineage with a fake Baul guru who we know is not a Guru. Indigenous wisdom should never be stolen, their songs, their style, copying everything, taking the names off of the people who preserved Baul? Teaching wrong teachings, watering down and reducing Baul as indigenous peoples is a crime, when used to oneself, to promote oneself for fake fame. Time has changed.

""Indigenous peoples and individuals are free and equal to all other peoples and individuals and have the right to be free from any kind of discrimination, in the exercise of their rights, in particular that based on their indigenous origin or identity. Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination."

- United Nations

Nabani was Rabindranath Tagore's friend and the only Baul to initiate Tagore into this Baul lineage, he gave Tagore the Baul name Ravi (Robi) Das Baul, Tagore gave Nabani the name "Mirror of the sky and Khyepa Baul. Now everybody calls themselves Khepa LOL.

Yet others are making up stories when they have had nothing to do with Nabani or Tagore. 

The fist tenant of Baul: Tell the truth.  Do not name drop, poach their songs. if you do not know who the poet is but copy by listening over and over, we can see and then record his songs as if you are the one, and without giving credit you are a liar and a bold faced thief.

This song was recorded by Babu Kishan's father Purna Das Baul  in the 1960's at India's First Record company, Hindustan Records. Most Bauls songs that are sung today are either Nabani Das Khyapa Bauls poetry or Babu Kishan's poetry, for sure sung by Purna Das Baul and for sure dancing with Ektara, Baya and Nupoor is Nabani Style dance. 

Yet, we see the new Baul men and women using everything and randomizing Baul by saying Baul Masters? Babu Kishan knows who wrote the poetry if you do not you are not a Baul and should never be fundraising to preserve Baul.

Kicchu Din Mone Mone was written by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and it is part of this lineage Baul the only lineage, there is not other lineage of Baul. Lineage Baul Parampara Sampradaya the only Baul lineage. 

This is a very simple recording of my Grandfather Nabani Das Khyappa Baul song, singing by me his grandson Babukishan, aka Krishnendu Das Baul.  The sound is not great but it was recorded in 2002 in California on a simple recorder.

This song belongs to this lineage and credit to Baul Saint Sri Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. No one would even know about this song if it were not for my family rather than making up new lineages, tell the truth, know the truth.

https://indiafolkheritageofbengal.weebly.com/cultural-misappropriation.html

New Baul singers are making up stories and new lineage that never existed before and leaving out where the songs originated from or putting in different poets names.  

Please have respect for this lineages Baul songs, if you sing or record songs from this lineage, please say who the Baul poet is and if you do not know, do not make it up. This is 100% Sri Nabani Das Khyepa Baul song.

Love song of Radha Krishna
