Bhau Kalchuri
Bhau Kalchuri (January 13, 1927〔"Bhau's actual birth date is 13 January 1927, but he was registered for school as being born in 1926." Sheela Kalchuri Fenster, with David Fenster, ''Growing Up with God'' (Ahmednagar: Meher Nazar Publications, 2009) p. 15n.〕 – 23 October 2013), born Vir Singh Kalchuri, was an Indian author, poet, trust administrator, and one of Meher Baba's mandali (close disciples). He was also the principal biographer of Meher Baba's life.
Kalchuri was born one of eight children of a well-to-do Rajput family in Katangi in the Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh.〔Sheela Kalchuri Fenster, with David Fenster, ''Growing Up with God'' (Ahmednagar: Meher Nazar Publications, 2009)〕 He excelled in his studies at Nagpur University, completing master’s degrees in public administration, law, and chemistry. But before he could realize his career plans, Bhau unexpectedly turned to spiritual interests following a visit to the tomb of a famous holy man, Tajuddin Baba, in Nagpur. After meeting Meher Baba in 1952, Bhau joined him permanently in 1953, at age 27 the youngest resident mandali of Meher Baba's ashram, where he served in various capacities, including night watchman and Hindi correspondent. Meher Baba taught Bhau to write a Hindi form of the Persian ghazal and also gave Bhau several other writing assignments, many of which he completed only after Meher Baba's death in 1969. In 1973 Bhau became a trustee of the Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust.〔(A Short History of the Trust )〕 He later became its chairman, and continued in this capacity until the end of his life.
Kalchuri was best known for his exhaustive biography of Meher Baba, ''Lord Meher'' (also known as ''Meher Prabu''), a twenty volume 6,472 page chronicle based on diaries kept by Baba's followers from as early as 1922, as well as interviews. He was also author of ''Avatar of the Age Meher Baba Manifesting'' and ''The Nothing and the Everything'', the latter a book on spiritual mechanics based on notes given to him by Meher Baba. He also wrote several plays and books of verse. Bhau wrote in Hindi and English.
Starting in 1985, he made extensive speaking tours both inside and outside India, predominantly the United States, but also many trips to Europe and Australia. He was interviewed in both press and radio and also appeared in Roger Nygard's film ''The Nature of Existence''.〔(''The Nature of Existence'' at IMDB )〕 Near the end of his life Bhau was less mobile, owing to poor health, although he kept in touch with the worldwide Meher Baba community via Internet chats and messages.
