Nabani was an adept Sadhaka at Tarapith who was initiated by Bama Khyepa, he took his sick tiny premature grandson ( Babu Kishan) with crooked limbs to Tara Maa right after he was born praying and begging for his life; Ayurvedic medicine, prayers and mantra were used to heal baby Krishnendu and his limbs were straightened through daily Ayurvedic massage given by Nabani and Brajabala Dasi.

Today it is fashion to mention 'Tarapith and Baul', 'Kankali Tala' and Baul as a marketing feature, trying to collect students, when Baul does not collect people.

Since the 1800s it was only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul who did serious sadhana as a Baul at Tarapith. So I wrote about this and Babu Kishan's association, now it is used in marketing youtube video's by hawker opportunistic pretendian practioners as a way to attract people. Even earlier in the 1970s many of the fake it til you make it Bauls used to hang out there, claiming to be Bauls but were not, trying to trap foreigners? There are many stories that have not told in public but will now be released, Baul has been used for far too long, most people who are faking Baul today, copy the intellectual property of this lineage and act it out, they track and trace everything and everywhere this lineage has gone and act it out, meanwhile watering down, reducing what indigenous Baul was. This is the fraudulent kind of indigenous fraud and intellectual property theft of this lineage historical firsts and lasts.

It should be noted that Nabani Das Khyapa Baul (the last Baul Avadhuta) was a healer and he had healed thousands of people evey where he went, taking their karma and transmuting it. He was a adept Siddha Avadhuta Baul Saint not your regular Baul, all Bauls followed him whether he wanted them to or not or more appropriately one can say all Baul's copied his style.

Nabani had many disciples but they never showed themselves, we will list many who followed or were his disciples in a later post, they were not regular either and many Bauls are taking their names today without even understanding who they were or how they were related.

Nabani knew the Tantra of alchemy and traditional herbs, he was a close friend of the famed Ayurvedic doctor and healer Dr. Kali Goti who also helped with healing Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Baul.

Nabani was an adept at manifesting siddhi's, he knew all the Guru's, Saints, Siddhas, Yogis, Naths, Swamis, Sadhus, Sadhakas of the time and had them all give dharshan and blessings to his little baby Krishnendu.

Babu went everywhere with Nabani and was a regular at Tarapith learning tantric and Baul sadhana, hanging out with the Gurus and Tantrics one could say he owes his life to Tara Maa and Kali Maa.

The village Rakha Kali Maa temple where Krishnendu Das Baul aka KD Babu Kishan played, was right beside the Ratha Yatra Cart with Radha and Krishna. The village favoured many gods. Babu saw and experienced a world that does not exist today, those times are gone. I specualate that perhaps this was Babu's karma and a continuation of his past life.

Nabani's samadhi was in 1969, when KD Babukishan was only 8 years old. He thought Nabani was his father, until he learned his real father was Nabani's eldest son Purna Das Baul who had since had two other sons that were raised outside Baul tradition, in contemporary Calcutta.

Most people on a path would agree that our family is not who we are. Guru is our real family if we are lucky to have one, Babu was lucky to have Nabani who left him his spark. Losing Nabani was to be the greatest loss of little KD Babukishan's life and the greatest loss to the whole Baul community.

Nabani was not an ordinary Baul he was an extraordinary genius. Babukishan was by his side when he went into samadhi.

On his grandfather’s passing, KD Babukishan recalls: “suddenly he reached out and gave me his hand at the same time a huge thunder cracked as his whole body turned a blue whitish and an electric current shocked me and ran through my body at the same time automatically the tulsi plant fell over and the Bhagavad Gita hit Boro Baba on his head, he was gone. He held my hand so tight I felt an electric current run through my body my third eye opened, I saw the universe my Boro Baba had given me what is called a Bramhma dharshan. I felt a huge force of power and light in my body, I couldn't break free of Boro Baba's grip.”

Happy Mother's Day.

This is Tara Ma (MahaVidya) from Tarapith in Birbhum Bengal. She is the Ma who saves all, this is Babu Kishan's first Ma, when he was a Baby and not to live, his Grandfather Guru Nabani Das Khyapa Baul brought him to her and prayed for his life as he was premature with crooked limbs. He birth mom Manju brought but it was through Tara Ma's grace he is alive today.

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.
