Nabani Das Khyapa Baul with Baby Babu Kishan whom he named Krishnendu/ picture 1963 Suri Birbhum W Bengal India. Guru and Eldest Grandson.

Indigenous Baul fraud, Indigenous Baul identity theft.

Nabani Das Khyapa Baul named Babu Kishan / Krishnendu, he is the Grandfather whom Babu called Boro Baba. He is the only father Babu knew as his father until Boro Baba his Guru passed away in 1969 that is when Babu went to live with his birth parents in Calcutta Purna Das Baul and Manju Das and his 2 brothers.

It was traumatic for little Krishnendu at the time fitting into his Calcutta family. As he had bonded and only knew Brajabala Dasi as his Ma and Nabani as his Boro Baba along with Laxshman Das Baul and his family, Raharani and Gopal Das Baul and Chakradhar Das Baul as his family.

The little boy with the brown hair is Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das, he is on the right sitting on Nabani Das Khyapa Bauls lap. This is probably 1964.

You can see Brajabala sitting behind Nabani. she is Babu Kishan's grandmother Guru who raised Babu until Nabani passed away in 1969.

Babu Kishan is Nabani Das Khyapa Bauls first Grandson and once he was born Nabani stayed home, he had been ill and had wandered most of his life as a Sadhu all over India, Nepal and Tibet.

He had promised Brajabala that he would stay close by and he considered Babu as his little Krishna they were inseparable.

You can see Babu Kishan or as Nabani had named him Krishnendu and called him Prem, you can see his one foot still crooked.

Thank Goddess for his Grandparents because his birth parents thought he was not going to live, they left him and returned to Calcutta but he did live, thrive and had the best Guru anyone could be born into.

This was a huge blessing for Babu Kishan and what one would call Punya.

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 Academic scholarly institutions.

Baul and Ramakrishna is only associated with KD Babu Kishan as he is the only Baul to be a monk in the Ramakrishna Mission for 12 years, this is a first and last in Baul.

#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.
The "Rasa Lila Mystics" this is the only lineage parampara that is Vaishnava and Vaishnava Sahajiya Gosia Chandra Das Baul and Dasi, there is not another, never was. #BaultheRasaLilaMystics

"The path of the Avadhuta". Copyright there are no other Baul Avadhuta's and that title only belongs to this lineage or singular parampara, there is not another. They make Baul a no name generic Baul while claiming the intellectual property and the already lived firsts and lasts of this lineage. I have documented thousands of misuse of Baul for over 20 years, if you would like to see my research contact KD Babu Kishan, his website is listed throughout this blog and website
