   The root meaning of the term BABA is 'the dearest one' or 'the nearest   
   one'.   
      
   The word "Baba" has been derived from the word "Bapra" of Laokika Samskrta.   
   The derivation has been like this--Bapra, Bappa, Bappaa, Baappaa, Baba.   
   "Bapra" means "Dear." Paramapurusa (God) is dear to all, hence He is   
   addressed "Baba" by the people. But all the created beings too are dear to   
   Paramapurusa (God).   
      
   "The Lord is the beloved one. The Lord is called Baba. The word Baba comes   
   from Sanskrit "Bapra". It means Loved-Beloved. "Bapra" then became "Bappa",   
   and then it became Baba. It took three thousand or four thousand years for   
   "Bapra" to become Baba. For unit beings the Lord is the beloved One. (Baba   
   Nam Kevalam). But for the lord the unit being is His Baba! When living   
   beings will sing Baba Nam Kevalam then the Lord will also sing Baba Nam   
   Kevalam in His mind. The Lord has thousands and thousands of Baba. This is   
   the relationship between the Lord and living beings.  Devotees will always   
   remember this.
