The Unsung Success of Babu Kishan's "Hanuman Chalisa"
Babu Kishan Music has an astounding 3 billion listens on YouTube with T-Series for his iconic "Hanuman Chalisa." This entire Hanuman album was not only produced by Babu Kishan, he also composed the music for it, wrote the lyrics for the other Hanuman Bhajans on the album, and personally funded its recording.
Tragically, Babu Kishan's master recording of the "Hanuman Chalisa" was stolen from his Juhu studio. This theft has a significant history, leading to millions in profits for record companies, none of which ever reached KD Babu Kishan.
This groundbreaking "Hanuman Chalisa," recorded in the 1980s, was the first ever recorded version and became a staple in temples across India. It features the powerful vocals of the late Hari Om Sharan. Beyond the T-Series numbers, it has accumulated 15 million listens with another company, 20 million on a different site, and millions more across various other platforms, with all these rights sold to different music companies in Bombay.
Babu Kishan's "Hanuman Chalisa" is, in fact, the most listened-to devotional song in Indian history, sung by his dear late friend, Hari Om Sharan. It stands as the first-ever Hanuman Chalisa recording, produced, and music-composed entirely by Babu Kishan.
Billions of people have listened to Babu Kishan's music without ever knowing it's his life's work. Even today, 80% of the recorded Baul music attributed to his father, Purna Das Baul, was produced and composed by KD Babu Kishan, also known as Krishnendu Das.

"Some" Past Lectures and Baul Performances
Babu Kishan is the first Baul to lecture at Universities around the world.
As a 'Paid Qualified' Lecturer on Babu Kishan's, one and only Lineage of Baul.
Many scholars wrote their thesis with the help of Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das and many only know him as Krishnendu Das.
Babu Kishan is his Indian Cinema Name.
He is the author of 3 books on Baul, dating back to the 1980's, all out of print.
A new book should be release at the end of 2017 or early 2018 that will be about the Historical Authentic Lineage of Baul originating from Birbhum Bengal India.
He is not only a authentic Lineage Baul, Pandit of Indian Music, Music Composer but a Scholar of Indian Philosophy, Sanskrit and a Baul Poet.
*It should be noted that no one in this world would know about Baul without this Lineage of Paul who brought Baul to India and the world some 80 or 90 years ago.
The Nabani Das Baul Lineage inspired many greats in India they are the pioneers who brought Baul to the world.
They are the indigenous Baul's who are the only lineage of Bauls.
Baul is now close to extinction and please be warned that the new Baul singers who cut the names of the history of Baul off, taking the songs and the stories that belong to this family then warping it into their story without even acknowledging where they got the idea of Baul from. Creating new stories and making themselves look exotic but they have no roots in the original Baul are Tourist Attractions.
It should be noted that just because one calls themselves a Baul and uses this lineages's songs does not mean they are a Baul. Today with the internet anybody can be famous, making up a lineage, it is so simple, all the leg work had been completed decades ago, before the internet. It should also, be noted those that are fundraising in the name of Baul are not Baul. Baul has already been preserved long ago and recorded with all the major record companies in India, including Hindustani Records that is why the new Baul singers have songs to sing but they should give credit where credit is due rather that making up different poets names and adding it to themselves singing the songs. In time this will be qualified in the Media and addressed.
Babu Kishan will be speaking about this in the coming year,
giving context and his opinions on the using and abusing of his lineage.
There is a huge disconnect between the real Baul and these new age singers who are making up lineages.
A Cultural MIS-appropriation of his lineages songs and practices.
Baul is open to all and believes in UNITY however, we live in a different time,
at this and Baul is near extinction. It is time to set the record straight and qualify what and who is Baul. Baul does not have it roots in Buddhism, Baul goes back before Buddhism to a time of Radha and Krishna to a time of Shiva. They include Buddhist thought but the new Bauls singers teachings on this are completely misguided and wrong.
Babu Kishan is the first authentic Baul to lecture and teach authentic Baul tradition he has been traveling and teaching since 1971 around the world.
He also, lectures on Sanskrit, Indian Philosophy &
Indian Music, Folk, Classical, Baul and Indian Cinema.
