Baul Tantra is Tantra Mantra Gopi Yantra (Shakti Sadhana) the Path of the Baul Avadhuta Vishnu Shiva and Brahma including agamic texts and the historical Mahabharata and Ramayan.
Baul Philosophy is all Indian Philosophy's including the Philosophy of Madhavacharya and Ramanuja distilled into a simple Baul Philosophy called Baul Darshana or Baul Philosophy. Before becomes a Baul one is trained in families in oral Sanskrit with manuscripts, Birbhum vernacular Bengali, Baul coded language called Sandhya Bhasha and Braja Bhasha then one proceeds to teach, write Baul poetry which is different from regular poetry it is based on allegory, metaphors, riddle and paradox and is very particular to the Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls of Birbhum W Bengali India the soul and soil of the land, they one can sing Baul songs is a master of Baul Philosophy. Baul is not simple, they are not illiterate or degraded, these statement were created to open the door for people to steal and distort Baul to use Baul, this is called indigenous fraud and indigenous identity theft.
It takes lifetimes to learn Baul Philosophy and Baul is way more than any PHD it is synergistic in all of Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma, yes exactly correct those people you think are Bauls are not Bauls but self-titled fake pretendian Bauls. They have not learned the basics, they are not adept an any Indian Philosophy let alone Baul Philosophy which is a beyond PHD program in Indian Philosophy.
Copyright, all rights reserved, do not poach, this is said loudly and repeated, because the insidious looting and intellectual property of this lineage. Which has been stolen and faked. Appreciation is different from appropriation.
The names of this lineage taken off and created fake lineage based on everything copied from this lineage, this has been documented and can be proven. In this modern world this lineage Das Baul and Dasi has had many firsts and lasts and Baul is complete.
No new fakes (pretendian Bauls ) are needed as (pretendian) Baul Artists or (pretendian) Baul Masters there is no such thing, regarding Baul their is only Baul Guru. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul was the last Baul Guru and they are indigenous and ancestral to Birbhum. They spoke Oral Sanskrit, vernacular Birbhum dialect, Baul Sandhya Bhasha (laced with coded Baul allegory, metaphors, riddle and paradox) and Braja Bhasha.
Babu Kishan has already preserved and completed Baul over more than 60 years.
Copying and reworking, retracing and repeating this lineages already lived stories and then making false claims or stealing songs right off Babu Kishan's youtube putting the wrong poets names on.
Indigenous Intellectual Theft and Indigenous Fraud.
Unfortunately this is a real thing, then they try to fundraise for financial jackpots, claiming there are 20,000 Baul left in Birbhum which is a lie. Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul for over 60 years. Many times things that only Babu Kishan has ever said on the blog are repeated and copied by youtube Bauls and their minions as if they knew the truth.
Hey, 100% not your story to tell, stop stealing the intellectual property of this lineage and lying. The first tenant of Baul is to not lie to tell the truth. If you are not indigenous to Baul you are not Baul.
Baul Tantra & Baul Philosophy: Baul Philosophy is all Indian Philsophy's distilled into a refined juice called Baul Philosophy.
The Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls of Birbhum are so misunderstood. They are an indigenous ancestral one and only Lineage of Baul from Ekachakra Birbhum W Bengal India. This is the only Das Baul and Dasi lineage it is based on at least 13 generations and orally from the beginning of the story of the Mahabharata/
The Sahaja of this lineage is that of Krishna and Dattatreya, it is not the same as Buddhist Sahaja. Every other fake pretendian Baul has already said, Baul sahaja is Buddhist and all sorts of scattered garbage. Baul Sahaja as Krishna and Dattatreya only comes from this one and only lineage, if it is copied now, it is intellectual indigenous identity theft.
Same with Baul meaning Vayu Tula, it only comes from this lineage, if others are copying they are cheating, they didn't know and have never said til they read it here. This is a huge problem with Baul and when the book is published names will be named and all mentioned. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul is the only Khyapa Baul and only Khyapa Baba as named by the villagers of Birbhum W Bengal India.
Baul Tantra is Tantra Mantra GopiYantra (is only this lineage).
Indigenous Baul fraud and indigenous Baul identity theft.
Baul History and Her-story was complete decades ago, Baul is already preserved by Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul over a 60 year period.
Firsts and lasts in Baul, you can not remake already lived and completed history or her-stories.
Manju Das is the first and only Baul women to ever travel the world and sing on Big stages, she did this from the 1960 to 2010. Brajabala Dasi and Radharani Dasi are the last authentic indigenous Baul women to walk on earth.
Nabani Das Khyapa Baul is the last authentic Baul to live on earth he passed in 1969. His songs, style of 'Ektara(Gopi Yantra) Baya the drum tied around his waist, and his style of ankle bells called Nupoor' stolen, and who he was as an Avadhut appropriated by many pretendian fake Bauls. I stay stolen because new Baul Gurus were faked and new lineages Faked.
This pioneering lineage introduced Baul to all of Birbhum where Baul originates from and indigenous too. Then Nabani Das Khyapa Baul introduced Baul to all of Bengal and all of India as he is the first Baul ever to sing on a stage, he sang as part of the Freedom Movement form the British as a opening act for Nehru when he gave his speeches all over India and then he sang on the stage at the inauguration of India in 1947.
Before this Bauls did not sing on stages, then Nabani's eldest song (Padma Shri, Pandit, Baul Samarat) Purna Das Baul became the first in many things about Baul including the 1st famous Baul singer and Indian singer to introduce Baul to all of India and globally. Purna Das Baul received many Presidents awards and is the first Baul singer and Indian Singer to travel the world and introduce Baul worldwide starting in the 1950's.
Purna Das Bauls eldest son who was raised by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and Brajabala Dasi until age 8 was the Baul who created the modern template of Baul, including recording all the music of this lineage of Baul, Cultural programs worldwide at Festivals the biggest stages including The Royal Albert Hall a regular at the British Library and all over Europe, America, Asia, Australia.
Teaching at Universities around the world, he created Baul fusion music 2 decades before other pretendian Bauls are claiming? He is the first Baul to write books on Baul the last in 1986 sponsored and promoted by George Harrison of the Beatles. He is the fist and only Baul to have a 40 year career as a Music Composer, Filmaker in all levels of Management in Indian Cinema (Bollywood). First and only Baul to attend the Ramakrishna Mission as a Monk for 12 years.
Baul history and her-story is complete, to copy this history, to copy this lineages songs, their style, dress, and fake them trying to repeat where they went, and what they did is intellectual indigenous identity theft. Worst is the ones who have made up fake Baul Guru's and fake Baul lineages then gaslight the public in India and worldwide pretending to be Bauls.
Worse, yet is trying to fundraised for financial jackpots to pretend they are going to preserve Baul. When Baul is already preserved, and they have already faked and appropriated the songs from this lineage, Nabani's style of dance and dress from this lineage. This is indigenous identity theft of Baul and Indigenous fraud.
This waters down Baul and reduces the cultural significance of indigenous ancestral Baul to a drop of what it was. Taking the opportunities away from an already indigenous marginalized small group of people, creating false narratives has created a cultural genocide, Baul does not need you, the indigenous ancestral Bauls are working from inside of Baul, they are not showing any of the fake Bauls what is going on because they already know the nature of fake Baul, that is why Baul is secret, a secret esoteric lineage (google lineage it is always based on ancestry) the Bauls call their lineage a Guru Shishya Parampara Sampradya and their is only one.
Everything is a "Mirror of the Sky" the name Rabindranath Tagore gave Nabani Das Khyapa Baul.
The path of Bhakti Love (prema),
The path of the Avadhut, very rare no modern day Baul's are anywhere close to this state or have learned the techniques Nabani had attained.
The path of the RASA Leela Mystics (copyright)
The path of RASA Tattva (copyright)
The path of Shakit Sadhana and the path of Radha. Birbhum is the land of Radha.
A fake Pretendian Baul copied Babu Kishan's long history of teaching Baul, Indian Philosophy, Indian Music and Sanskrit at Universities and the Ramakrishna around the world over decades because he actually did the work he went to the University of Calcutta and has a BA adn Masters degree, thus he was a paid lecturer and lectured at Univisites and at Ramakrishna Mission around the world as a Monk in the Ramakrishna order for 12 years, he did the work and out of the blue an untrained fake pretendian Baul is advertising they have done this, however on deeper research as to what is going on wondering why someone is copying every step Babu Kishan has taken. We find a video of this person teaching that their are 4 types at Berkley University, thos 4 types being Muslim Aul Sai Dervish Fakir teaching a completely wrong false narratives and actually copied from a book who wrote it wrongly. This same person telling people Baul is from Turkey and the Baul is Buddhist, because that is what people wrote, yet appropriating Nabani's Vaishnava songs directly from Babu Kishans youtube channel. Very changeable and copying everything from this lineage while making up a fake lineage and fake Baul Guru. My dear Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das pioneered Baul and created the road you are copying, he knows every fake Baul Guru and their story, stop the lying. One minute they this and now they are Radha with full tilika? Trying to collect fundraising jackposts to preserve Baul when Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan over 60 years and at the very least 13 documented generations before. Baul is from families, Baul is indigenous ancestry and the only way you can know a drop is through this one and only lineage and their recording the songs so that you can steal them?
You can not make this up? Baul has been used long enough by fake (pretendian) Bauls who have made up fake Baul Guru's riding on the coattails of this one and only lineage to travel the world making up stories?
Again, no new Bauls know anything about this technique!
Authentic indigenous Baul is extinct and the last Baul Guru was Nabani Das Khyapa Baul who passed in 1969?
No none of the Bauls since the 1970's all the names mentioned were not Bauls, they all self-titled themselves Das Baul, they re-recorded the songs of this lineage, they hung out at Tarapith and in Shantiniketan because the hippies showed up, and all the artists of Indian showed up because this lineage Purna Das Baul and Babu Kishan who was known as Krishnendu Das back then. His uncles Laxshma Das Baul made Baul famous on the ground, however, he did not achieve the fame of his elder brother Purna Das Baul and associated with many of the fake Bauls who were not good association, however, Babu Kishan has a great love for Laxshma Das Baul and tried to help him many times, I remember him talking on the phone to him from Canada and they both were crying Jai Nitai, Jai Nitai, and talking about the state of Baul, Laxshma would say oh come on Babu you know more than anybody, you know those people who call themselves Baul are not Baul. Laxshman tried in every way he could as an indigenous Baul to survive this world, his eldest children passed early, they were younger than Babu Kishan. They tried too, but for indigenous people life is not always easy, and thus fake pretendian Bauls have taken the livelihood away from indigenous Bauls.
Everything is filtered through 3 (tri) 3 Gunas, 3 Lakshmi, Durga, Saraswati, because Bauls always worship Radha first, they worship the Feminine Divine, Shakti first, Radha/Kali
Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma
Guru Bramha, Guru Vishnu.
Guru Devo Mahesh Varaha
Guru Sakshat Param Brahma Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha
Bauls are (not) illiterate, degraded, low caste, no caste, lowest rungs of society, they are not random wandering people or people who have no where to fit in. This is the biggest deception and lie. Bauls are indigenous and educated in all Indian Philosophies including a few others, they are Oral Sanskritists, who had many manuscripts including over 200 Vaishnava Agamas. They were versed in Shiva and Brahma and history of the Mahabharata and Ramayan. Veda and Tantra, Upanishads and Purna.
There were many wandering people in Bengal, those people were not Baul, however, many academic scholars assumed they were and many Vaishnava orthodox reformer who were British educated and British speakers have an aversion to indigenous people of Bengal including the Bauls and some 8 other sects and degraded them. They were from wealthy Zamindar families who thought indigenous Hindu's were savages and promoted horrific nasty things about Bauls. Understand the orthodox are must fundraise to build temples, they need a flock to preach to. The biggest difference between the Vaishnava Sahajiya Bauls of Birbhum and the orthodox and New Age Vaishnava is they need a flock to obtain donations from for their temples and preaching activities. The new age and orthodox Vaishnava have an aversion to Tantra, they sit on chairs above their flock and love to have their feet touched, there is a bureaucracy a system of government and hierarchy of preaching, there are rules and regulations on even what is love, they have a misunderstanding of Tantra and Sahaja, they think both are dirty words?
Baul Sahajiya is natural and spontaneous with an indigenous childlike wonder, they do not preach they teach and are part of the villages of Birbhum West Bengal. Indigenous to the soul and soil of the land, they follow the past of nature and the natural world such as Dattatreya Vishnu Shiva Brahma and Shakti Sadhana. Bauls are tantrics to the highest level, generally Vaishnava Tantrics, however Nabani and a few others were Vaishnava Shaivite Shakti Tantrics of the Avadhut to the highest levels in Tantra.
The pretendian Bauls fake Baul today all dressed in costume full length dreadlocks of Jata are only to attract foreigners and some unsuspecting Indians. Only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul had dread locks because he did Tantric practice in isolation in the burning grounds and in forests for years without the modern comfort of showers. living in nature. If you live in modern society and do international travel today as a performer it is a costume to attract people, if these pretendian Bauls were real, cut off your costume and lets see if anybody even looks at you. It is a game of attraction. That fine but stop acting as if you are a Baul and them a self-titled lying Baul Master when there is no such thing. Those that are pretendian fake Bauls today are not Bauls but using Baul as their game or they are middle class Bengalis for crying out loud lying. I am not talking about the villagers of Birbhum either, the ones who sing Baul songs as part of a tourist attraction, what I am talking about is more sinister the intellectual indigenous property theft of this lineage and lying creating fake Baul Gurus and fake Baul lineages for international travel, fundraising for jackpots to preserved Baul when Baul is already preserved and they have looted this lineage and continue to do so with no consciousness, only fake acting skills.
They are simple and like to keep it simple, they are Oral Sanskritists from birth within families and verse in all aspects of the Vedas', it is the path of the Avadhut and not a beginners path.
Shakti Sadhna - Radha is worshiped before Krishna and Kali is worshiped before Shiva, but all are worshiped.
Copyright is only because of the lying fake pretendian Bauls, seriously you can not trust them, they lie on a regular basis and cheat constantly, they look innocent but are not.

It is complicated, a few years back no one could even explain what is Baul, today they can only copy from this lineage and they do or they re-work it and water it down, just as they do with songs from this lineage?
Indian Music/Baul songs with long discourses.
Baul Kirtan absolutely only this lineage, now saying Baul Kirtan when they never did before, again the ongoing of taking and using, the ongoing changing of narratives to include their fake lineages..
The only Lineage of Vaishnava Tantric Bauls and Das Baul / Dasi

Baul songs are simple songs in Vernacular Birbhum Bengali
Oral Sanskrit Lineage from birth within families, always, Baul adopted some, but still very difficult to be a Baul, Baul is extinct, Babu Kishan preserved and recorded Baul decades ago, starting in the 1960's. It is a lie to say Baul is not from family's that Baul is by initiation, LOL who initiated you? Nabani Das Khyapa Baul was the last Baul Guru, we know it wasn't Purna Das Baul or Babu Kishan. A fake made up Baul Guru can not initiate anybody. What a joke, this will be called out in a big way, very soon.
Today many use Baul watering down, reducing Baul teaching wrong teachings, much has been copied and twisted from the work Babu Kishan has done over the years.
Songs from this lineage used with out credit to the poets. A Baul always credits the poets and put the correct name on. Some put other poets names on which is blatant cultural appropriation.
Nabani Das Khyapa Baul styles of Ektara, Baya (waist drum) and Nupoor his style of ankle bells appropriated and used by actor Bauls who are blatantly appropriating this lineage with the gaul to make up new lineages and new fake narratives. It is sad but true.
Why is this ok? Baul is extinct, this is history and yet everybody is making a mess of Baul and they do it openly, purposely for what they can use?
You can see Nabani (0nly) style of ankle bells called Nupoor they are bells enclosed in metal circle attached the feet in the picture where he is sitting padma-asana yogi style, the bells are lying on the ground.
In the picture beside he has his Ektara the one stringed instrument and Baya at his waist. That is only Nabani style from this one and only lineage. Others copied him and then faked new lineages that did not exist? When something such as Baul is extinct or an endangered lineage, it is unconscionable to do this?
Act, look, speak, as innocent as you like, it has been a very strategic marketing game. A cultural mis-appropriation of an indigenous peoples, what actually has been going on regarding Baul.
Truth will be told.
Baul is not a free for all, it is NOT an umbrella name for different groups of wandering peoples.
No one would even know about Baul, if not for this family of Bauls but Baul became popular through the work of this family, Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and Krishnendu Das Baul who many do not know because he always kept hiimself behind the scenes and he is the one who took the picture, was not in the pictures.
There are many others in this family including all the Baul women, Brajabala Dasi, Radharani Dasi, Manju Dasi and many other Baul Men including Laxshman Das Baul, any Das Baul or Dasi are only from this lineage, there is not another lineage of Das Baul or Dasi, that is a lie in Books now and from Marketing Masters who follow everything, use Babu Kishan's template and then create NEW FAKE LINEAGES that do not exist.
Their so called Guru sang the songs of this lineage, dressed like this lineage, used Nabani style ektara baya and Nupoor and followed them around the world, copied everything but now making up new lineages without their students even having a clue just using.
This lineage are the pioneers, all other followed them, during age of internet and becoming internet famous, next stop Indian Cinema which has nothing to do with Baul but was Babu Kishan's career.
It is a serious joke.
Baul Philosophy is both Dual (dvaita) and (Advaita) Non-dual.
Baul's follow the 36 Tattva but they also, break it down to 108 Tattva refining the process to a further degree
Babu Kishan has archived and preserved his one and only lineage of Baul decades ago for more than 60 years, it is now extinct. I repeat and do not donate to anybody who is a fake Baul, our book will teach you how to tell who is real or not. It should be published soon in 2025.
Baul Sahaja is not from Buddhism, it is not just mantra, there is a whole Vaishnava philosophy that goes along with Baul Sahaja. Baul Sahaja has nothing to do with South Indian or Aurobindo's writings or Ramaa Maharishi, Baul Sahaja, is Baul Sahaja and is only from Birbhum Bengal through this lineage and is Vaishnava and based on Krishna the biggest Sahajiya and Dattatreya the oldest Sahajiya (Sahaja).
Somehow, the old ways do not work and this has led to poverty, alcoholism, drugs and much suffering for the original Bauls who are indigenous peoples from Birbhum.
Baul is NOT from Bangladesh, or from other parts of India or God forbid from Persia, Turkey Uzbekistan, you name it we have heard it all and documented it all, who said and when? 😥
Ramakrishna said, he wanted to be born a Baul in his next life, he spoke about Baul many times and said,, they are the highest, Babu knew the Ramakrishna Monks at the Ramakrishna Mission personally and many of them still were close disciple of Ramakrishna he has many inside stories and many deep relationships with many swami's over decades. Those days are gone, time has changed, now you want to eat that part of Babu Kishan's life too?
Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul is the last of the Modern Bauls who was educated in the village with his Guru Grandfather Nabani as the eldest of his generation and have lived a life outside of the village.
Now 60 years of age, he has lived many lives in one life. His own father and his brother never said, Nabani was their Guru, of course he was but it is only Babu Kishan who had an unbroken time with Nabani because Nabani quit his sadhu wandering ways after Babu aka Krishnendu was born. It is only Babu who has kept Nabani's name alive not his father, not his uncles.
You have to understand Nabani was as a Grandfather was the only father Babu knew from birth to age 8, Nabani and Brajabala were the only father and mother he knew until he went to live with Purna Das Baul and Manju his birth parents in Calcutta, it was the hardest part of Babu's life as they put him in an Ramakrishna orphanage while the other 2 son's went to regular school and lived at home, again a very long story.
'Masters Level' Indian Music and Indian Philosophy Calcutta University
.
Babu Kishan is an Indian Music Composer, not a self named Indian Music Composer he was educated and had to write exams and produce a huge body of work before he was even accepted into the Music Composers association in those days and have well known accomplished Indian Music Composers sign for you to even be included in the Indian Music Composers Association. He is the first and last Baul to live this history, there is no need for any fake pretendian Baul to try to associate with Babu Kishan lived history, he worked in the industry to 40 years making a youtube video and trying to associated with Indian Cinema and Bollywood while faking Baul is insidious, you first have to do the work, go to University, attend the Ramakrishna Mission, have met Osho before you start acting like you actually know or have worked in Indian Cinema? It is kind of creepy what is going on, the amount and level of Baul lived already identity theft, the people who lived the stories names taken off. If Bob Dylan is mentioned they pretend they know and make quips, you are fake, and will be called out for retracting every step and pretending every step Babu Kishan and his family one and only lineage have lived?
Sanskritist Oral and Classical, has traveled the world since the early 1970's, he is a pioneer in taking Baul around India and created the template for modern Baul followers, although many Baul travellers have become liars and copy cats making up lineages and stories?.
He has created the path of the modern Baul of traveling around the world, the pretendian fakes did not.
Sri Nityananda and the lineage coming out of his family of Ekachakra Birbhum Bengal, this is this lineages association only, in regards to Baul.
Jai Nitai - Nityananda (Chand Gosia) is a direct descendant and indigenous ancestor of this one and only Vaishnava Sahajiya lineage from Ekachakra Birbhum W Bengal India
Rabindranath Tagore -
Nabani Das Khyappa Baul was the only Baul who initiated Tagore into Baul
Ektara Baya Nupoor, style of dance and song was created
by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul.
The patch work Guduri (dress) designed by Babu Kishan
Das Baul and Dasi this lineage only!
Baul Kirtan
Baul Guru
Bob Dylan
Allen Ginsberg - Babu Kishan is the only Baul who had a many decades friendship with Allen Ginsberg. The first Baul and whom he considered his Baul Guru was Nabani Das Khyapa Baul in 1962 while Baby Babu Kishan was sitting on Nabani's lap.
The Rolling Stones - Purna Das Baul recorded an album called Jai Bangla in 1971 at his place in Nice France, after that Babu Kishan became friends with the Rolling Stones, jamming with them in London and USA. Babu is the only one who had a continued friendship with The Rolling Stones. He picked Mick Jagger up from the airport for the 2004 concert in Mumbai as a friend.
George Harrison - personal friend of George Harrison for years, talk to George on his death bed and had recorded music with him in LA. George Harrison and Ravi Shankar helped release and produce Babu Kishan's 3rd book on Baul in 1986 in LA California
Osho and Baul associated with Babu Kishan and Nabani Das Kyapa Baul only!
Baul Avadhut, this lineage only, Nabani was the last Baul Avadhut, don't even go there, if you hear others saying they are Baul Avadhut's ,please laugh!
Pous Mela - was created by Rabindra Nath Tagore in honour of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. We have many stories about how the others Baul's were not allowed to do performances because Shanti Dev Ghosh new they were fakes. It was only Babu Kishan who stood up for them, he probably should not have because after the real authentic Bauls were gone they got an in and now their students making up huge stories.
Joy Dev Mela - for hundreds of years only this lineage attending this Mela because they follow the poetry in many songs they created about Joy Dev.. today it really has no authentic Bauls there. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul was the biggest attract then Purna Das Baul who needed police protection because of popularity and because the 'fake it til you make' Baul were jealous and poisoned Purna Das Baul at the Monohar Ashram. The culprits were never charged by were known. Tell all in the new Book.
Vaishnava Baul
Vaishnava Tantric Baul
Windcatchers - Baul = Vayu Tula, V is B in Bengali, thus Batula = Baula = Baul, Baul refines everything to simple terms. Note; Baul is a combination of 2 Sanskrit words, not a Urdu name? There is not such thing as Muslim Baul, and Baul is not Aul, Sai, Dervish, Fakir, Shah which are Sufi, Sufi are NOT Baul.
Rasa Lila Mystics - a term Babu Kishan coined based on the Rasa Tattva techniques he learned from Nabani Das Baul.
Baul explanation: Vayu Dharma, Vayu Tula
Ananda Lahari - Nabani named the Khamak the Ananda Lahari, so if you are saying you are from another lineage and use this term, you are using Nabani and this lineage?
Oral Tradition, Oral Sanskrit, Manuscripts, vernacular Birbhum dialect
Ektara/ Gopi Yantra/ Gopi Chand this lineage only!
Tarapith Tara Ma, Baul association was Nabani Das Khyapa Baul others followed?
Poetry of this Lineage archived by Babu Kishan, this list is long and it will grow, we are just watching all the users make up stories, while using the lyrics poetry and tunes of this lineage. Documenting all.
Now acting like they too, but never mentioned before, until it was written on Babukishan.com in the 1990's and his 3 books and pretending they learned it someone else? Babu also, had the first web site on Baul created by Mary Johnson.
Mary could see who copied and pasted what, it is amazing over a million people visited his web site, then went on to write about Baul and use without any credit?
Including Babu's 2 younger brothers, who Babu helped and still helping the middle brother all the time but yet, he still does not give credit?
A comedy! BabuKishan.com the web site was taken down by Mary Johnson before she passed away in 2006, she had the password and died RIP Mary.
Babu was not able to recover the web site because by this time the web company wanted to buy it from him for thousands of dollars, they wanted him to buy his own name, we let it go. Someone is still trying to sell BabuKishan.com we are not going to pay for it. If not for copy and paste and this 1990's web site no one would know anything about Baul except what scholars wrote or the out of print 3 books Babu Kishan wrote and gave to his parents that is why they are out of print, they didn't care but took his writings and gave them to the women who wrote about Purna Das Baul but from her a western Vaishnava point of view.
1970 to today Babu Kishan has given 100's of lectures all around the world at Universities he was paid for his lectures as an educated Masters Level lecturer. His lectures were not by donation, he is qualified with experience and a Masters level from Calcutta University where they sent him all over India to lecture on Indian Philosophy?

Why, try to copy him, he is not your Guru, he does not want people to follow him, he does not want to collect followers, all he wants, all he has ever wanted is to preserve his lineage which he has done decades ago, one by one will be released, now that we have documented all the false narratives and using of Baul? Why, Copy his Indian Cinema and Ramakrishna, it is so obvious, even creating a new lineage but Babu Kishan does not buy bots.
Baul Akhara, not used by others til recently?
If anything Baul avoids and makes the path crooked and not easily accessible. However, in this modern world, this way has left the door open for all the fakes, the truth now must be told and all the fakes must be qualified. You can not learn Baul in 3 days, 3 years. Baul take many lifetimes to even grasp. There is a way to qualify the fakes. Babu Kishan's knows the method.
