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.
