Jai Baba

Jai Baba is an expression used by followers of Meher Baba and means "Praise Baba." It is used as a greeting, as a salutation, or as an outward expression of appreciation of Meher Baba's life and qualities. The expression is considered to have its roots in the expression Avatar Meher Baba Ki Jai, first given by Meher Baba in 1954. [1]
