The Jai Ho Club was a latter-day inspiration of Chairman Bao. This fan club represented Bao’s inner circle of Mothers, Queens, caregivers, attendants, secretaries, bodyguards, close fans and, it must be admitted, the occasional sycophant. Select members were given special names and functions, like Queen of Dunny. Jai Ho members were enjoined to wear The Three Rings, representative of the Hindu Trinity, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, which names Bao would intone as he tapped the respective ring. The Jai Ho Club was essentially a spiritual glee club with special, rather unpronounceable mantras like Jai Ho Her Her Ko Ko Her Ko Her Ho Ho Ho, whose meaning remains elusive. For those who could not master the advanced mantras, the seed syllable mantra of Jai Ho was utilized. The Jai Ho Club included other, subsidiary clubs like the Jai Ho Dance Club, and the Jai Ho Internet Chat Club. The Jai Ho Club largely disbanded upon the passing of Chairman Bao and the end of the Kool-Chewy dynasty.

Ref: Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of the Baba Community. Innaugral entry: Jai Ho Club Chairman Bhau was already a Mahasiddha by previous attainment when Meher Baba veiled him for his work, thus dooming him, in his appointed role of John the Beloved Disciple, to be unintelligibe to the Meher Baba Community at large when his Mahasiddhic… Read more »
Is it to late for me to join. Would I have lots of friends.
Dear Hbj;
May I suggest you begin by practicing the Jai Ho Mantra, and then approach your local Jai Ho club for support.
Hi Vishveshwar; You may well be right about Bhau having the karma of a Mahasiddha, etc. I don’t know. But even if this is true, it’s not relevant to my satire of the Jai Ho Club. Whatever the karmas were that compelled Bhau to act so strangely, they were unacceptable to the role required of him as chief administrator of the Trust. This is a practical issue, not a metaphysical issue. The argument is often made that Bhau as a Mandali could not make a mistake because of his yoga-yoga sanskaras. This is putting the cart before the horse. The… Read more »
Vishveshwar… delusional much?
What can I say? Chairman Bao was handing out LSD. There are many others who went crazy with Bao’s Perfection. I have an assassin chasing me because I dissed Bao/ Ali!
