These 4 songs made Baul famous worldwide.. these songs and the tune are from Babukisha's lineage and his family. His grandfather Sri Nabani Das Khyeppa Baul wrote the lyrics to "Ghole Male Ghole Male," "Bhalo Kore Porga Schoole," and "Menka Mathay Delo"... all written by Nabani Das Baul and music composed by Nabani Das Baul.

In recent times they were made super famous by the one and only "legendary Baul of our time Purna Das Baul" who is Babuksihan's and Nabani Das Baul son.. these songs were recorded by Indian Cinema's legendary music directors of "Hindustan Records which was the first official Indian Music Company in India." These 3 music directors were Bengali's, Pan kaj Mallick, Timir Baran, Raichand Boral. These famous music directors recorded Purna Das Baul because Purna Das is the best Baul singer and because these music directors respected Nabani Das Baul, they were his friends and well wishers. 20x Ghole Male Ghole Male was recorded 20 X worldwide and 18 of those times it was recorded 18X by Babukishan and everytime it was recoreded it was a hit. Today this song is sung by Bauls without any of them giving credit to the Baul who wrote it or made it famous.

None of these songs are Bengali folk songs they are Baul songs from a many thousand year old lineage and should be treated with respect not songs to be sung on singing shows or in Movies without any understanding of where they came from or who wrote the songs?

(Another of Nabani Das Baul songs is Hridmjhare Rakhbo, from this lineage..) Singing Babukishan

1. Ghole Male Ghole Male, Nabani Das Baul song.

The Ektara's in the picture are hand made by Babukishan himself.... and he is playing the dolak in this version of Gole Mali Gole Mali..

2. Jemon Beni, Rasaraj Gosai (Nabani Das Baul's uncle) wrote this...he was one of the prominent sanskrit scholars and Baul poet in Bengali history, he was a sanskrit master. Never married and the greatest tantric and tantric poet. Music composed by Nabani Das Baul and Purna Das Baul is the first to record it. 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 of Sadhana with a deep philosophical meanings.

3. Bhalo Kore Porga Schoole... Nabani Das Baul song and tune, it is a song about about Sri Chaitanya mahaprabu, and Nityanada Revolution.. Actually the Bauls made this revolution famous and Gaudiya Math and Iskcon high-jacked their songs ect and distorted what Baul is???.. there is something that people need to understand Chaitanya was not a poet or Baul he was a scholar, it was Nityananda and his lineage going back thousands of years that were the poets, philosophers, Hare Krishna singers and dancers....

4. Menka Mathay Delo.. Nabani Das Baul song and tune.

So if you are singing these songs and record on "You tube" now you know.. Please at least give credit to the lineage and stop making up fake lineages ect.. If the Bauls are ever going to survive these songs and this lineage need to be preserved.

Including this song and many many others will be listed.

When you have lied and created new lineages, not telling the truth as to where you got this song from., feeling entitled to poach whatever you want, your Guru first stole this song, style and dress from this lineage, he never was a Baul and there is no separated lineage based on a one generation poet, based upon a patchwork of this lineages intellectual property. 

This is indigenous intellectual property theft also, called indigenous fraud. Indigenous fraud is when you steal the songs, style and dance and the stories of this lineage while dropping their names and pretendian you are the one? This is lying (asatya) non-truth telling, Satya is the first tenant of Baul? 

Pretending faking Baul has gone on for far too long. Baul is indigenous and no one should be creating fake lineages, this is indigenous fraud.

Babu Kishan used to love when people sang his lineages Baul songs, what he never expected was the appropriation, and indigenous fraud, and intellectual property theft, many of his own songs have been re-recorded by others for commercial production in the Baba and Ma business of fundraising for financial jackpots, social media fame to attain awards and travel the world, 

The listing of other 'fake lineages' in the name of Das Baul and Dasi which only belong to this lineage is indigenous fraud, and listing the wrong or a fake poets name to mislead while using his Grandfather & Guru's poetry. This is only the tip of the ice berg. Where did you copy the song from, we have analytics that it was taken off Babu Kishan's youtube channel.

This has been going on for a long time but he never could foretold, how the pretendian fake Bauls would teach false narratives, wrong teachings while making up a fake Baul Guru and a fake lineage?

Since the internet there is a new wave of 'wanna be's' who have done more harm that good. They have followed every piece of Babu Kishan's life and tried to make it over as if they were the ones. It is a one off for a Baul to teach at Universities around the world since the 1970's as a paid qualified lecturer, who is qualified within the academic community with a BA and MA from Calcutta University, he is qualified to teach Indian Philosophy, Indigenous ancestral Baul from the only lineage of Baul, Indian Music, Tantra, Veda, Upanishads, Purna, Itihas (history), oral Sanskrit and Classical Sanskrit, Baul Sandhya Bhasha and Braja Bhash. He is qualified in every aspect of Indian film and music as he has had a 40 year career in Indian Cinema. Why, on earth would any pretendian Baul try to copy or associate themselves with Bollywood through a youtube video, if you dig deep enough it is outright identity theft where they take the names off of the people who lived this one and only one off Baul history. 

They are remaking this lineages lives making them random and replacing Nabani's, or Purna Das Baul and Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das Bauls lived lives tyring to pretend they are the ones. Babu Kishan is the only Baul ever a lived history to be associated with and to attend the Ramakrishna mission or have association with Anandamayi Ma, all temples in India, Osho, Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg but incredibly these sneaky buggers allude to the fact that they know everything, these stories are not your to be told while taking their names off acting as if you know. This is the start of stopping the gross intellectual indigenous fraud that has been allowed for so long.

Kichchu Din Mone Mone was written by the one and only Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. This song does not belong to you, you stole it off Babu Kishan's youtube channel, that is indigenous fraud and fundraising in the name of Baul when Baul has been preserved already over a 60 years period by Babu Kishan is the biggest indigenous fraud and indigenous identity theft.

When singing this song please do not add other peoples names, especially those that call themselves Baul. 

A authentic Baul is non stealing and then to say Baul do not care about who wrote the poetry is pure thievery. To make Baul generic and random is 'Cultural Appropriation' and then to have the nerve to fundraise in the name of Baul to preserve Baul? 

This lineage is indigenous to India, it really should be a crime taking an indigenous peoples identity, their songs, their style and then lying making up a lineage with a fake Baul guru who we know is not a Guru. Indigenous wisdom should never be stolen, their songs, their style, copying everything, taking the names off of the people who preserved Baul? Teaching wrong teachings, watering down and reducing Baul as indigenous peoples is a crime, when used to oneself, to promote oneself for fake fame. Time has changed.

""Indigenous peoples and individuals are free and equal to all other peoples and individuals and have the right to be free from any kind of discrimination, in the exercise of their rights, in particular that based on their indigenous origin or identity. Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination."

Nabani was Rabindranath Tagore's friend and the only Baul to initiate Tagore into this Baul lineage, he gave Tagore the Baul name Ravi (Robi) Das Baul, Tagore gave Nabani the name "Mirror of the sky and Khyepa Baul. Now everybody calls themselves Khepa LOL.

Yet others are making up stories when they have had nothing to do with Nabani or Tagore. 

The fist tenant of Baul: Tell the truth.  Do not name drop, poach their songs. if you do not know who the poet is but copy by listening over and over, we can see and then record his songs as if you are the one, and without giving credit you are a liar and a bold faced thief.

This song was recorded by Babu Kishan's father Purna Das Baul  in the 1960's at India's First Record company, Hindustan Records. Most Bauls songs that are sung today are either Nabani Das Khyapa Bauls poetry or Babu Kishan's poetry, for sure sung by Purna Das Baul and for sure dancing with Ektara, Baya and Nupoor is Nabani Style dance. 

Yet, we see the new Baul men and women using everything and randomizing Baul by saying Baul Masters? Babu Kishan knows who wrote the poetry if you do not you are not a Baul and should never be fundraising to preserve Baul.

Kicchu Din Mone Mone was written by Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and it is part of this lineage Baul the only lineage, there is not other lineage of Baul. Lineage Baul Parampara Sampradaya the only Baul lineage. 

This is a very simple recording of my Grandfather Nabani Das Khyappa Baul song, singing by me his grandson Babukishan, aka Krishnendu Das Baul.  The sound is not great but it was recorded in 2002 in California on a simple recorder.

This song belongs to this lineage and credit to Baul Saint Sri Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. No one would even know about this song if it were not for my family rather than making up new lineages, tell the truth, know the truth.

New Baul singers are making up stories and new lineage that never existed before and leaving out where the songs originated from or putting in different poets names.  

Please have respect for this lineages Baul songs, if you sing or record songs from this lineage, please say who the Baul poet is and if you do not know, do not make it up. This is 100% Sri Nabani Das Khyepa Baul song.

Love song of Radha Krishna
