B — WORDS on the WAY Båbå bar-bah) (bar Var: baba, babba, babaji,(bubba), Sense: ‘Father’ (with the inference of ‘wise old man’). ‘Baba’ is a term of respect and affection for any sadhu, sage, monk or great soul. No matter whether he is old or not, the appellation is in the same manner as one would address a Christian Priest as ‘father.’ In Hindi it means ‘grandfather’ and ‘babe’ in Gujarati. Generally a baba is a wandering monk, one who lives wild in caves or forests and avoids the institutional life, although these days a number of babas also run ashrams. Quotes: Other: Bib: Refs: Babu bah-buh) (bah Var: Babuji Sense: ‘A ‘ Hindi term of respect for a man of very high standing, not necessarily of spiritual stature;’ (although a socio-political saint such as Mahatma Gandhi was called ‘Babuji’).
