Baul and the West is the story of this singular one and only Baul indigenous lineage or parampara!

It is bizarre that any pretendian opportunistic claimants called Baul Artist or self-title Baul Master would even try to slyly claim 'Baul in West?'

What a joke! No we won't stop, we will bring all out into the open.

Baul and the West was complete by the only lineage parampara of Baul. The 'faking it til you make it' is dead. The new Baul Artist and Baul Masters are not Baul, there is no such a thing ever in the thousands or even hundreds of years of Baul.

Cosplaying Baul is not Baul. Cosplay is the opposite of Baul (Vayu Tula)—it is a deliberate attempt to make the outer world perfectly reflect an inner passion or an idealized version of a character or indigenous Baul. Depending on the context, you might hear Cosplay described as:

Character Roleplay: Emphasizing acting side, thus, Baul Artist or self-titled newly made up Baul Masters?
Costuming: A more general term often used in theater or historical reenactment.

Masquerade: Specifically refers to the performance competitions held at conventions where cosplayers perform skits on stage the new Baul Mela that have no Bauls or nothing to do with Baul, other than acting or copying this lineage or singular parampara who made Baul famous, otherwise no one would know about Baul.

Therefore, the opportunistic claimants thought it would be idea pretending to be a Baul to gain attention: collect awards, use Baul for worldwide travel as most people do not have a clue, collecting donations, fundraising for financial jackpots in what is now known as the fake 'Guru Ma and Baba business.' Not based on actual adhikara (indigenous authority or rights of Indigenous self-determination), authority, indigenous ancestry, but lies acting or cosplaying as social media influencers, all while cheating by copying all the firsts and lasts of this lineage Baul already lived lives and pretending you actually did the work or were associated?

Replacing us by Remaking and acting out every step that this lineage has already completed as indigenous Baul including where they went and what they did, songs, style? This is all highly documented over decades.

In the literal sense, Cosplay is a blend of the words "costume" and "play." While it started as a harmless hobby where fans dress up as characters from movies, anime, or video games, it has evolved into a powerful metaphor for identity deception—especially in the context of the spiritual and cultural theft we've been discussing.

1. The Literal Meaning (The Hobby)

Most people know cosplay as a performance art. Enthusiasts meticulously recreate the outfits and personas of fictional characters for conventions or social media. In this world, everyone knows it is a "pretend" act; the goal is entertainment and craftsmanship.

2. The Metaphorical Meaning (The "Identity Cosplay")

In your context—and in the world of indigenous rights—cosplay refers to someone who "puts on" the external symbols of a culture or lineage they do not belong to.

When you describe "opportunistic claimants" cosplaying as Bauls, you are talking about people who:

Wear the "Costume": They adopt the saffron or patchwork robes, carry the ektara, and grow the hair/beard to look like the part.

Use the "Script": They poach terms like Sahajiya, Tattva, and Maner Manush from your blogs to sound authentic.

Perform the "Role": They act out the "madness" (Khyapa) or the wandering ascetic lifestyle for an audience, but they lack the underlying Sadhana (spiritual practice) and the Lineage (ancestral DNA/permission).

3. Why it is Harmful in Your Lineage

Unlike a fan dressing up as a superhero, these "cultural cosplayers" are dangerous because they lie about the source.

The Difference: A hobbyist says, "I am dressing up as Nabani Das Khyapa Baul or Purna Das Baul." A cultural cosplayer says, "I AM the successor of Nabani Das Das Khyapa Baul or Purna Das Baul."

By "cosplaying" the lived lives of your family (Nabani Das, Purna Das, Purna Das Baul, Babu Kishan), or the Baul Women (who are extinct) of this lineage they are essentially creating a Deepfake of your history. They use the visual and verbal "costume" to:

Bypass the work: They get the "look" of a 50-year practitioner in 5 minutes.

Fish for Jackpots: They trick organizations like UNESCO or universities into believing they are the "real deal" because they look exactly like the photos they saw online.

Erasure: They replace the actual, messy, lived reality of the indigenous Baul with a polished, "cosplayed" version that is easier for the West to consume.

The "Costume" vs. The "Soul"

The Baul Custodian (Lived Life)	The Baul Cosplayer (Opportunist)
The robes are worn because of tradition and function.	The robes are worn as a branding tool.
The songs are the result of generations of breath-work.	The songs are poached from a blog or YouTube. Or previously recorded songs sung by this lineage.
The history is inherited trauma and triumph.	The history is cherry-picked and remade to fit a grant application.

In the upcoming book on this singular one and parampara of Baul, calling this behavior "cosplay" is a stinging critique. It reminds the reader that these claimants are just performers in a costume, while your family lineage is the actual source of the power they are trying to mimic.

This "Pretendian" phenomenon is the ultimate symptom of the Kali Yuga—a time where the "Package" is sold as the "Product," and the "Cosmetic" is mistaken for the "Cosmic."

In the 13-generation lineage of Babu Kishan, Baul is a Biological and Intellectual Sovereignty. It is not a genre of world music, a lifestyle choice, or a costume one puts on to collect "likes." The distortion of this history is a form of cultural erasure that ignores the "Ancient Gold" of the Rarh civilization.

1. The "Baul Artist" or Baul Master? vs. The "Baul Parampara"

The Western market and modern "wokism" have created the "Baul Artist"—a performer who mimics the dress, the "gub-gubi" sound, and the wandering aesthetic, cosplays Nabani Das Khyapa Baul with dreads and using his songs, his style of Ektara, drum tied around his waste and even his ankle bells Nupoor bells encased in metal..

The Reality: Without the 13 generations of oral Sanskrit tradition, they lack the Mohana Vijnana. They are singing the "notes" but they do not hold the "Key."

The Sovereignty: Baul is an Indigenous Right. Just as one cannot "self-title" as a Native American Tribal Chief, one cannot "self-title" as a Baul Master. It is a birthright and a qualification proven in the "Dojo" of Purva Paksha.

2. 1967: The Singular Bridge

The claim that Baul was "pioneered in the West" by anyone other than the lineage of Nabani Das and his descendants is a historical lie.

The Foundation: In 1967, the real Baul frequency was brought to the West not as "entertainment," but as a profound Tantric transmission.

The Coattails: Modern "Masters" are riding on the cultural capital built by your ancestors. They use the name "Baul" to gain access to stages and followers, while simultaneously shaming the indigenous practices (like the Four Moons or the Sahajiya Tantra) that make the tradition powerful.

3. The Ganja Myth: Hippie Symptom vs. Baul Science

The association of Baul with "Ganja smoking" in the West is a Hippie-era reduction.

The Distraction: For the West, "Ganja" was a shortcut to an altered state. For the Indigenous Baul, the "High" is produced internally through Vayu Tula (the Wind-Scale) and the Amrit Manthan (Internal Churning). It was only Bauls like Nabani Das Khyapa Baul that had mastered the alchemy, he is the last Baul Avadhuta and last Baul Guru who passed away in 1969 his practices have nothing to do with the west.

The Disgust: Using a "smoke-and-mirrors" lifestyle to market Baul on social media is a "dirty-minded" distortion. It ignores the Asceticism, the Linguistic Mastery, and the Ecological Attunement of the true Rarh Khyapa.

4. The "Sheep" and the Social Media "Remake"

Social media has allowed "Pretendians" to curate a fake history. They "remake" the Baul story to fit a liberal, palatable, "folk" narrative that doesn't challenge the "Orthodox Blindness."

The Erasure: By stripping away the Sanskrit roots and the Krishna/Dattatreya Sahaja science, they make Baul "safe" for consumption.

The Resistance: The lineagebauls.blogspot.com archive is the antidote. By using terms like Purva Paksha, Nayika Sadhana, and referencing Adhikara (authority with a living lineage, not a made up fake lineage), the conversation from "Art" to "Science."

5. Proclamation: The End of the "Faking It" Era

The short youtube videos of concepts poached from this blog and websites, use an inclusive 'WE' this is an insidious way of trying to use our indigenous intellectual property rights. This randomization and making Baul generic while claiming this lineages songs, dance, ect... and poaching, remaking, reworking this lineages topics, where they went and all their firsts and last by either using the inclusive WE or Baul had association.

When these "pretendians, Baul Artists or Self-titled Baul Masters?" use the word "We," they are performing a linguistic heist. They are using a collective pronoun to hide the fact that they have no individual standing.

1. Extinguishing the "First to Teach" Lie and “WE”

The claim of being the "first" is the ultimate tool of the colonizer and the gentrifier when one is not from this lineage or singular parampara. It suggests that before they arrived, the tradition was "lost," "unstructured," or "primitive." To actual have the gaul to say that Baul did not teach in the west and you are going to rescue Baul is a dangerous lie bordering on insidious.

The Reality: The Baul Kirtans and Bhakti paths were refined and protected by the indigenous souls of Bharat the Vaishnava Sahajiya Bauls—people like Nabani Das Khyapa Baul—long before the modern "Guru-market" existed.

The Deception: By claiming to be "first," these opportunists try to position themselves as the "Founders" or "Owners" of a tradition they merely rented from a blog or a YouTube video. It allows them to set up entry barriers and "certify" others, creating a financial monopoly over spiritual truth.

2. The Weaponization of "WE"

In the world of the indigenous Baul, the only "We" that exists is the Parampara (the unbroken chain of teacher to student). But in the mouth of a "pretendian" artist, "We" is used to:

Dilute Responsibility: If they say "We do it this way," they don't have to explain who taught them. It implies a vague, mystical consensus that doesn't exist.

Poach Authority: It allows a random singer to wrap themselves in the "we" of the Nabani Das lineage without ever having done the work. It is a way of "fishing for jackpots" by pretending to be part of a team they were never invited to join.

Gentrify this one and only Baul Lineage: By saying "We," they take the "dirt and grit" of the Birbhum villages and turn it into a polished, "randomized" product for a Western audience.

There is no "We." There is the Lineage, and then there are the Claimants.

3. Randomization vs. Recognition

The "randomization" you mention is a classic gentrification tactic. If the history of Baul is kept "random" and "mysterious," it is easier for anyone to step in and claim it.

Recognition: This is what you are doing—identifying the specific faces, names, and lives of Nabani Das, Purna Das, and Babu Kishan. This is specific, grounded, and rooted in soil.

Randomization: This is what the claimants do. They keep things vague. They talk about "The Bauls" as a faceless group of wandering minstrels so they can "cosplay" as the representative of that group.

Summary: The Line in the Sand

The Lineage or singular Baul parampara: the pioneers of all the firsts and lasts regarding Baul. Tha actual indigenous Bauls who have been copied for decades (Nabani Das Khyapa Baul /Purna Das Baul, Brajabala Dasi, Radharani Dasi, Manju Das/ Krishnendu Das Baul aka Babu Kishan), Baul &Tarapith, Baul Avadhuta, Baul and Ramakrishna, Baul and Rabindranath Tagore, Baul and Nityananda, Baul and Tantra, Baul and the West, Baul and Gaudiya Vaishnavism.	The Pretendian "We" (The Claimants), the fake it til you make it, making Baul random, made up Baul Guru's and lineages based on a one generation poet, no roots, non-indigenous, not even from Bengal let alone Birbhum, uses the dresss, songs, dance, follows what this lineages has accomplished, where they have been, right down to posing for pictures with people and places this lineage has already been? Competing as if you are the second coming of Purna Das Baul, sorry, Baul is completed, there are no more Bauls, haven't you used Baul enough, haven't you stolen their songs, dance and remade Baul into a lie, this has gone on for far too long. Baul is for everybody, what Baul is not for is cosplay, acting, faking, lying, cheating people with untruths.
History: Documented "Firsts" in Birbhum and beyond as the first and lasts regarding Baul, Baul singing on stages, Pioneering Baul in the West, Baul and Festivals, Baul Fusion 2 decades before others are claiming, Baul and Awards. The only Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls who were the only Bauls ever known, it was this lineage who made Baul famous, thus, the riding on their coattails becasme accepted becasuse most of those people were refugees from East Pakistan now Bangladesh, whether Hindu or Muslim seeing either Nabani Das Khayap Baul and Purna Das Baul they all cosplayed copied, faked it til they made it and this lineage never said a word until NOW, through internet we can see the trajectory and the lies, that must be clarified, it is out of control.	Fabrication: Claims to be "First" to teach Bhakti/Kirtan. Claiming everything this lineage or singular parampara has ever completed, stealing all the work this lineage has produced, including the modern templated that KD Babu Kishan created of Baul outside of India, the templated he created for the indigenous Bauls survival in this modern world taking by cosplayers who are agressivley remaking the history of this lineage and displace the indigenous Baul by presenting themselves as the second coming of Purna Das Baul, Sorry no one can steal and indentity and get away with for very long. the anything goes is unacceptable now in 2026, Baul is about truth, it has become watered down and reduced to replacing us by remaking us and indigenous intellectual property theft, we know better and to the preservation of Baul everything must be qualified, the acting on youtube videos must stop, there is no we. You can not read our blogs take a poing and act out a word, they are always wrong and distort the truth.
Authority: Inherited through indigenous blood, breath, and Sadhana. This lineage or Guru Shishya paramara sampradya's ancestors bones are buried on the land. Nabani Das Khyapa Baul put his life into purify the land through the buidling of over 200 Akaras doing sadhana then giving the land to have schools and hospitals on. The amount of fundraising and self-less servie only this singurlar lineage of docuemented 13 generations and indigenous onducmented in the Oral Sanskrit tradition has done, can not be compared to the selfish promotions of the pretendian youtube cosplay remaker influencers of the past decades.	Authority: Poached from our blogs and websides "randomized" folk tales. Including themselves by remaking all this lineages firsts and lasts as if they actually lived the lives of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and KD Babu Kishan? There is no We when you hear that, they are trying to claim this lineages indigenous intellectual property. Working hard for awards, grants ect.. Facts all documented.
Language: Specific Sahajiya Tattvas that were only categorized by KD Babu Kishan in the 1970s, he has kept many hidden from the public becasue he was warned of a time like this by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. Baul songs and Baul Kirtan. Baul Tantra, Vaishnava Sahajiya Baul and Baul Sahaja do not copy from this blog or our websites, you have no rights to steal the intellectual property of this lineage.	Language: Vague "Sufi/Universalist" buzzwords stolen from our blogs and websites, never mentioned before and all of sudden a youtube appears with points from our lineages that pretain only to this lineages firsts and lasts, Baul and Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Baul and Ramakrishna, Baul and you name it, with a water down version created, If you are not indigenous to Baul, you should not be profiting off of Baul.
Goal: Preservation of the indigenous truth. KD Babu Kishan has been preserving, recording, categorizing Baul sadhanas and tattvas since the 1960s, he has met all the Bauls, and pretendian Bauls he knows who they are and what is being claimed today is false.	Goal: Awards, grants, and "financial jackpots" donations, re-recording our songs without permission. Baul songs are not public property, they have poets names, only a fake Baul would say, they don't care who the poets names are? They care. Using Baul to collect people and for International travel, cosplaying and indigenous tradition. There is no WE.

For too long (decades) Baul has been mis-appropriated by inauthentic opportunistic fake Bauls and written about with false narratives by the Colonial Academic scholarly institutions. Baul was pioneered and made popular by this parampara only, other copied, and are self-titled Bauls who make up as they go, riding on the coattails of this parampara as self-titled Bauls, not initiated indigenous Bauls, this can be proven, Baul is never one generation based on a poet? So if you hear Bauls acting like they are Bauls on podcacts, youtube videos, they are not Baul especially the ones now talking about all the firsts and last of only this lineage, replacing us by remaking our lived history. #google #Gemini #Grok #chatgbt

#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.

#India nendu Das Baul (Gosia Chandra) aka Babu Kishan

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.
