Baul songs in Vernacular Birbhum Bengali and Baul Kirtan in Sanskrit and Bengali!
Baul songs from this lineage, these songs and the tune are from Babu Kishan's lineage and his family. Most Bauls now sing them but have no idea who the author is.
Nabani Das Khyapa Baul wrote the lyrics and tune of the below songs. This lineage is Gosai or Gasain, Rasaraj Gosai is an Uncle of Nabani's.
This one and only Lineage is oral Sanskrit, yes they could read manuscripts which include all Vaishnava Agama's, all Upanishads, Indian Philosophy which is distilled into simple songs in vernacular Birbhum Bengali.
- 1.Ghole Malee Ghole Malee2. Menka Mathay Delo
3.Hridmjhare Rakhbo
4. Kichhu Din Mone Mone
5. Jemon Beni, written by Rasaraj Gosai
6. Bhalo Kore Porga Schoole
"Kichchu Din Mone Mone" was officially recorded by my father Purna Das Baul in the 1960's at India's First Record company, Hindustan Records.
Kicchu Din Mone Mone was written by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and it is part of this Lineage Baul. It is sad that others feel the need to cheat taking this song without respect.
If you do not know who the author of this song it, you are absolutely a Nakal Fake Baul and have culturally Appropriated this song from this lineage. Putting a fake name on it is inexcusable. This will be addressed in a big way in the media, enough is enough, this has gone on far too long.
5. Jemon Beni, written by Rasaraj Gosai - Jemon Beni, written by Rasaraj Gosai - (Nabani Das Baul's uncle) Rasaraj Gosai was a prominent Sanskrit ORAL Scholar and Baul poet in Bengali history. Never married and the greatest tantric and tantric poet. Music composed by Nabani Das Baul and singing by Purna Das Baul who is the first to record this Baul poetry. I just want to let you know this is not a Bengali folk song, none of these songs are folk songs they are Baul songs Spiritual songs. These songs are a deep meditation and Sadhana and are a discourse with a deep philosophical meaning.
These songs have all been recorded many years back at Hindustan Records which was the first official Music Company in India. Purna Das Baul has recorded all and many others. This is how Baul became famous, through first Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, Purna Das Baul and Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul. There are many more songs, however, a separate book will have to include all the music of this lineage. There are thousands of songs.
Three Indian Bengali Cinema Music Directors, Pankaj Mallick, Timir Baran, Raichand Boral, recorded Purna Das Baul an award winning India Vocalist and the Greatest Baul singer. These music directors respected ‘Nabani Das Khyapa Baul’, they were his friends and well wishers.
Approximately twenty times Ghole Malee Ghole Malee was recorded worldwide and eighteen times it was recorded by Babukishan and everytime it was recorded it was a super duper hit.
Today these songs are sung by all Bauls without any of them giving credit to the Baul who wrote it ‘Nabani Das Khyapa Baul’ it is interesting because it was ‘Purna Das Baul ‘and this lineage that own these famous songs but yet they sing them and say they are from a different lineage?
This was never a problem previously but I think now that so many ‘fake Bauls’ and stories are being made up, the hijacking and actor Bauls who claim and follow this lineage but never say the truth. It is time for the truth of Baul to come forward to preserve this tradition before it is lost forever.
These are not Bengali Folk Songs they are spiritual songs from this family, this lineage. They should be protected in proper context as respect to this lineage.
Gaudiya Math and Iskcon hijacked ‘Vaishnava Baul Kirtan’ and song and dance distorting this tradition. There is something that people need to understand Chaitanya was a scholar, he was not a poet or Baul, it was Nityananda and his lineage going back thousands of years that were the poets, philosophers and musical, the original Hare Krishna singers and dancers.

No! you can not steal, poach, mis-appropriate this one and only singular lineage of Vaishnava Sahajiya Baul the only Baul pioneers of Baul since the 1950s worldwide and since the 1920s throughout India by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul the first Baul to sing on a stage. This is not your history, you are not the next 'Purna Das Baul' or a Baul Avadhut Baul that belongs to Nabani Das Khyapa Baul, who is the only Baul other than his grandson Babu Kishan who have a Baul history at Tarapith. Those days are over, all is documented as proof and we will go ahead with a legal reclamation of this lineages historical roots, and the shadow footprinting looting of this lineages indigenous rights.
Sure some of the 1970s refugees from East Pakistan (Bangladesh) titled the 'fake it til you make it', fake Bauls hung out at Tarapith trying to collect people even stories of raping western Women that Babu Kishan can tell you about. Now the recent ones who are singing Babu Kishan's own lyrics on youtube now promoted by the new cosplaying Bauls. No they are not Baul if you did an once of research they say they have Baul Gurus, those are not Baul Gurus. Just tell the truth, sing the Bauls songs, give credit and stop lying to people posing as a Baul. If someone is using Baul for survival that is Ok, what is not OK is the constant lying.
It is insane what is being claimed on social media a new Cult of Guru Ma and Baba Business in the name of Baul and the historical firsts and lasts of this singular lineage.

Official Intellectual Property & Lineage Protection Notice
Published by LineageBaul (Lineagebaul.blogspot.com)
For hundreds of years, and with escalating intensity over the past several decades, the historical achievements, "firsts and lasts," and sacred lineage (paramparā) of our family have been systematically poached, misattributed, and erased.
The pioneering, legendary work that brought the authentic Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā Baul heritage out of the villages of Birbhum—built on selfless sevā, fundraising, and lifelong dedication—has been reduced by outsiders to a commercialized performance, a "guru business," and a circus of fabrication.

Shadow Footprinting (the method) with Spectral Theft or Archival Squatting (the act) creates an immediate, undeniable diagnosis of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) fraud that cuts straight through marketing spin of 'erasing indigenous Baul by those who are systemically replacing us as cosplyer Baul Artists and self-title Baul Masters'. The indigenous intellectual shadow footprinting of this one and only pioneering indigenous Baul, the shadow footprinting of all their 'firsts and lasts' of historical Baul roots, their songs, dress, style, instruments, where they went, who they met and what they have created as a modern template for the indigenous Bauls to survive the modern world.
The below are only exclusive to this one and only singular Baul Parampara or lineage, all the terms and associations, for too long Baul has been mis-appropriated by inauthentic opportunistic fake Bauls and written about with false narratives by the Colonial Academicholarly institutions.
