Babu Kishan's 4th Book, a tell all 'HISTORICAL LINEAGE BAUL' will be released soon. He has 'ARCHIVED and PRESERVED' this ONE and ONLY LINEAGE of Baul History for over 60 years. His family has taken Baul out of the village of Bengal India to India and the world over the past 100 years ago. Vaishnava Tantric Baul has a very long history and her-story. Baul is extinct. Baul is the combination of 2 Sanskrit words Vayu and Tula- Batula, Bengali's use a B for V(ayu). Copyright!

He never talked about himself though, and that has been a problem because not only have people stolen his music and his intellectual property. One by one it will be presented. Yes, Baul is loving, and many people fake it, fake smiles acting all innocent, Come and join us, donate to us so we can preserve Baul, garbage, Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan decades ago?
They have stolen his pioneering work on Baul taken his name off and use his stories about Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg in book after book.
Making random associations about Baul is associated with Bob Dylan and Ginsberg when it was only Babu Kishan after a picture of his father and Uncle Laxshman was taken in 1967.
It was only Babu Kishan who had a many decades friendship with both of them and many others including George Harrison.
Not any other random Bauls. But yet you will see books and newspaper articles even new Baul recruiters not even from Bengal will name drop Babu Kishan's stories but take his name off??
So tell me why in a book by a western Baul did she write that Baul is associated with Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg ect, but right on the next page a picture of a Baul who is not associated with the story.
Babu Kishan and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys
I have documented all for our book. This has to stop the stealing, cherry picking and lies that new age Bauls who are collecting people, they are using Baul to beome Maa..
Babu Kishan's Hanuman Chalisa that he composed and recorded, the first Hanuman Chalisa ever recorded, is the most listened to Devotional Song ever with 2 billion listens. Another record company now has the song with 15 million hits?
Yet, Babu Kishan's name is not there??
Gushan Kumar is not a singer, he is lip syncing, he is acting.
This is Babu Kishan's Music the most ever listened to in Indian History. The really stupid thing here is that T-Series lists HariHaran as the singer, his NOT. This is 100% Hari Om Sharan??
Yes, true the 2 Billion but this is Babu Kishan music, he composed and recorded this not GuSHAN Kumar??
2 Billion times, and 15 million sold to another company.
Interesting, no one knows the real story behind that Hanuman Chalisa, it was Produced, Music Composed by Babu Kishan, it has nothing to do with T-Series founder, the music was stolen out of Babu Kishan studio in Juhu and sold to T-Series and then they sold it the company that has it now.
Hari Om Sharam was Babu's friend so was Gushan Kumar as a matter of fact Babu is one of the people who identified his body when he was murdered at the Laxshmi temple in Bombay, he worked for T-Series and directed with Gushan Kumar as a composer advisor at that time.
To make matters even worse, LOL
They lied about who the singer is, it is Hari Om Sharam it is not Gulsan Kumar or HariHaran it is not Hari Haran. This is Hari Om Sharan... produced, recorded, composed by Babu Kishan.
In Baul music this has happened for decades, stealing of this lineages songs and then either adding another name, or saying Baul does not care who wrote, composed, made the tune? They do not who recorded it first because, the new Baul singers want to take credit. It took a lot of work to create this music, time, money and talent to record it in the first place, yet they copy, which is not a problem but not to give credit, it intellectual property theft.
This is Babu Kishan Music, he composed, paid for, arranged, recorded with his own money. He recorded it in the 1980's, he could not sell it to any of the record companies back then, it was stolen, now look at what a success. Court case pending because his name was taken off and he has never received a penny or rupee for his own Music, the first ever Hanuman Chalisa recorded and Hari Om Sharam died without any compensation either?
Baul Fusion with great pictures of Birbhum Bengal and Baul.
By Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul - he does not like to call himself Baul anymore because what is acting as Baul is not the Baul he knows. Too many actors. Don't get me wrong Babu helped all Bauls for decades, creating Baul Mela's and bringing them on the stage at the Mela's, where as before they were not included. He gave up 3 decades of his life supporting all Bauls.
This is Baul Samrat Purna Das Baul now 89 years of age is the greatest singer of the Bauls ever, no one can compare to the Legendary life and Award winner of singing by many Presidents of India. This is Babu's father. Baul Kirtan by Babu Kishan - Narottama Das poetry Kirtan. Babu's Grandmother Brajabala Dasi was from the Narottama Das family lineage. Babu is from the family and Lineage of Nityananda of Ekachakra Birbhum Bengal, he is their direct ancestor. Nitia was a Vaishnava Baul Avadhut. Kirtan was not just chanting it was the telling of the stories of Radha and Krishna and they went on for 8 days, no sleeping or lying down in those kirtans.
A raw sample of Baul Kirtan by Babu Kishan. This is from his family and Lineage. Raw recording, this song, is his Grandfathers poetry, this is their lineage song.
My all time favourite, Baul Fusion. Babu says this song is for me.
There is a long story behind this Baul song.
Here is the link to only some of the Bauls songs he recorded way back, he was the first Baul to place his songs on youtube back in 2007, now everybody does. These are all Babu's personal Photo's.
All released on Spotify he has something like over 60 albums, I have no clue, everyday some more of his music comes forward, music he forgot about. Babu is a Baul and very unattached.
If you do not know Indian Music, how on earth can you know 'Baul Music' or even the language if you are not from India. Do you know Bengali?
Honestly how can you know who is real and who is unreal? Over the years I have seen fake this and that posted promoting a fake Baul?
If you are from USA, Canada, South America, Europe or Russia how can you say a person is authentic just because a random Baul singer tells you so? Even if you come from India how do you know? How would you know?
Baul has been preserved decades ago since the 1960's by Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul, you may not know him, he is 60 and the oldest of his generation of Lineage Baul. Those who say they are this and that, have made up a lineage and acting like they know music are deep sadhaka's are fake. Seriously this has gone on too long. If it looks exotic chances are they are fake and playing a drama to be Maa or Baba?
In Celebration of (2022 Indian Republic Day)
and to let you know that hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world have been reading this blog since 2009.
Thank you!
You can also, read more about Baul on my (Trishula Das) who is Babu Kishan's wife of 16 years, and the writer of this blog.
Babu Kishan talks and I write, I try to do my best, if has not been easy for me, but I keep listening, researching, documenting and I have read just about every Book on Baul ever written, according to Babu who is a Baul and probably the only scholar in his one and only lineage of Baul, who has preserved Baul since the 1960's to today, he will be 60 this year and is the eldest of his lineage after his father, Purna Das Baul who is 89.
I am adding more of Babu Kishan Music from Indian Cinema (Bollywood) because most people talk but they do not even understand what it is to be a Music Composer, they call themselves Music Composers, or Baul poets then Music Composers but they are self titled not by Music Composers Association and they do not have a body of work.
Babu Kishan is not a regular Baul his Musical talent is extraordinary as a Music Composer since he was 9 years old.
When he was 11 he was awarded the Youngest Music Composer of Bengal.
He never talked about himself though, and that has been a problem because not only have people stolen his music and his intellectual property. One by one it will be presented. Yes, Baul is loving, and many people fake it, fake smiles acting all innocent, Come and join us, donate to us so we can preserve Baul, garbage, Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan decades ago?

It was stolen from his Music studio in Juhu Bombay.
Babu Kishan is still #77 out of 80 Music Composers in India from the 1980's. Back in the day you had to pass an exam be signed by Legends and be Recommended by Legends! You are not just a Music Composer by saying you are a Music Composer. To be a Music Composer is the highest level in Music beyond PHD and you must be very successful and have many successful compositions over many years.
Babu Kishan was Signed by Legendary Indian Music Legends. 1. #Ravindra Jain Babu Kishan is the only person Ravindra Jain allowed to compose music for him personally. Ravindra Jain was a Gem of Indian Cinema, a Sanskrit Pandit, he was the Ramayana TV series Music Director. All the top Loved him.
Legendary names in Indian Cinema and Indian Music Industry.
Today everybody is listed as a Music Director, there are over 10,000 names today, back then it was not so easy.
Back in the day you actually had to be a accomplished qualified 'Music Composer' with a successful body of work. Master Music Composers were educated in Music to the highest level. To even qualify you had to pass an exam.
You had to prove yourself to the biggest 'Music Directors in India' and they had to refer you. You had to be an accomplished Music Composer not just a Music Composer by calling yourself a music composer. It was very difficult there is no way you could say I am a Music Composer and pay a fee or a bribe, the ethics and standards were high.
Babu Kishan has a Masters (MA) in Indian Music from Calcutta University. He had been composed for decades before he was accepted as a Music Composer.
Babu Kishan was referred by: 1. #RD Burman Babu Kishan was RD Burman's Assistant & Friend for 13 years in Bombay, and many years before in Calcutta. SD Burman his RC Burman's father was a huge fan of Babu's Grandfather Nabani Das Khyapa Baul.
These are not Fan Photo's, these are photos of people who Babu Kishan actually worked with over a long period (decades) in Calcutta and Bombay.
Today anybody can have a photo with anybody and then make up stories. Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu has lived it, making movies, selling movies and Indian Music for decades in a very personal way with all in Indian Cinema/ Indian Music/ and the business involved in all.
Indians first Performing Rights Association that Babu Kishan was part of the start up: C stands for Composer but he is also, an author of 3 books and will have his B for Books on his update. He is author of thousands of lyrics and poetry.
1994-1996 Time Audio Video – ABCL Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd - Babu Kishan was the Quality Assurance Manager Film & Music Production/Marketing, and Event Management. Film, and Music Promotion.
-----------------
From a Young Age he recorded, produced, composed music, Lyrics and marketing all of his Dad's Super Duper Hit Baul Music and that is how anybody even knows about Baul Music, they all sing these songs, many of them are Babu Kishan's own lyrics and nobody knows this, they sing Babu Kishan's lyrics and they claim them as their own? Some has the audacity to say Baul Masters??? do not care who wrote the poetry, who gave the tune, yet you collect donations in the name of Baul?? This is a sin against Baul and Babu Kishan, the lies and wrong teachings are not only a cultural appropriation they are leading to a genocide of this lineage. Making up lineage is wrong.
Baul and Indian Music has been Babu Kishan's life work. Soon I will be posting these thefts and who the culprits are of stealing Babu Kishan's life work and intellectual property thefts.
Some of the albums of Babu Kishan's Life Work.
No one would even know about Baul without his pioneering template of promoting Baul around the world.
The first Hanuman Chalisa Album recorded, music composed and produced by Babu Kishan Stolen from his studio, and sold to Tips, 15 Million views.
This is Babu Kishan Music!!
This whole album is the 'first Hanuman Chalisa' ever recorded in the history of India. It was recored by Babu Kishan he composed the music, arranged it, it is sung by his late friend Hari Om Sharan and played in all the temples in India. It made the record company millions but not a rupee for Babu Kishan or the late great Hari Om Sharan.
When Babu first recorded it nobody wanted to buy it but sitting in his studio in Mumbai a person found it took it to a record company and sold it behind his back and disappeared. I post this from time to time as a reminder when we get back to Mumbai to get a lawyer and take the record company to court. Babu wants me to forget it but I won't let it go.
Babu Kishan is the mandolin player on this album the mandolin is one of some 15 instruments he has mastered.
The same will happen to the Bauls who have stolen Babu Kishan's intellectual property and erased his name, erased the names of the poets, including Nabani Das Bauls and just used to promote themselves and collect donations to cheat people, saying they are going to preserve Baul when it was preserved decades ago by Babu Kishan.
Also, if you don't know Babu is an expert on Indian Music, he has a Masters Degree from Calcutta University MA of Indian Music, he has categorized all the music of India for the Big Music (Record) companies of India in Bombay since the 1980's.
Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das was a monk in the Ramakrishna order in Calcutta for 12 years.
Babu Kishan's tribute to Lata Mangeshkar whom he personally knew and released much of her music. I asked Babu who was the greatest female Tantric he knew and he said Lata Mangeshkar, she knew the technique of Indian Music all of it, she was Saraswati herself. He also, knew Lataji's sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Asha was married to R.D. Burman who was Babu's Indian Cinema (Bollywood Music Guru) for over 15 years, he was in Indian Cinema for 35 years.
Babu arranged for his mother to meet Lataji, he took this picture of his late Mother Manju Das (the first Women Baul to travel the world starting in the 1960's) his mother loved Lataji, therefore, because Babu was the assistant for Hemant Kumar Mukherjee, so Babu arranged this photo to fulfill his mothers desire. At an earlier age Babu worked for W Bengal Music forum as a Musician, Lyric writer, and Music Composer. Babu started at age of 9 as a poet and age 11 as a Music Composer for parents, Arti Mukherjee, Bhupen Hazarika, Shakti Thakur, and other famous Bengali singers. He was awarded youngest Music Composer of Bengal at age 11. This is history of Indian's oldest and only Baul Lineage #baullineage #womenBaul #baulhistory
Photo by Babu Kishan @ Netaji Indoor Stadium when Lataji came to perform, organized by Hemant Kumar Mukherjee, Babu was his assistant then as a 2nd Music Assistant of Hemant Kumar in the 1980's.
