Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Dear Friends, Satish has kindly brought to my attention/consciousness, Meher Baba. In looking up the glossary presented by Frank Davis on the following website: http://www.avatarmeherbaba.org/erics/glossa.html, I found a term with the following definition: walla (or wala): Used as a suffix to indicate one's trade or role. Literally means' men". A suffix denoting an agent, doer, owner, posessor, keeper, or inhabitant. *as in guy or gal in the context of: A txi guy (a tongawalla), that blonde gal, the motivated one, etc. Right now you're a readingwalla. It has been said by Bhau that this generation just after Baba's dropping the physical form who've been drawn to Baba are "Bananawal"; i.e., reincarnations of those many who had received Baba's banan prasad from the numerous mass darshan programs in the last life. Satish: can you tell me who or what is "Bhau"? Can you give me a definition for this word? I found the above VERY interesting about bananawalas, as one of the things I bake a LOT of is banana bread...one friend recently told me that it was the best that she had ever tasted!!! Oftentimes I pray (chant the Mruthanjaya (healing) Mantra as suggested by Sri Karunamayi) while putting together the ingredients for the bread. Like She says, when one chants a mantra while cooking, those sacred vibrations go into the food and it is very good/auspicious. Also, there is a *very* good story/explanation given on: http://www.meherbabatheavatar.com/incl.htm where in a scientist asks Baba how it could be that the infinite can be in a finite form. The story is entitled, "Baba and the Scientist", source: Panj Pyare by D. V. Balakrishna Meher) Blessings, Kathy @}-->----- Note: In the above definition given by Davis, I did not print out all the reference books that his glossary key gives.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Dear Friends and Dear Kathy, Bhau kalchuri is the name of the person who is, at present, Chairman of Avatar Meher Baba Perpitual Public Cheritable Trust (AMBPPCT for short). In vernaculars Hindi language "-wala"(masculine singuler "wale" being plural) and "-wali" ((faminin singuler, plural being "waliyan") suffixes for occupational personal pronoun. Meher Baba loved humour and wanted for his fellow persons to keep a smiling and joyous posture.
