While Chapter 37 does describe specific roles for devotees during the Chavadi procession, it presents these roles as acts of love and service rather than a formal hierarchical structure for efficient management. For instance, the text mentions that Tatyaba held Baba's left hand, Mhalasapati held the right, and Bapusaheb Jog held the umbrella over His head. These actions, along with others like the chowrie-bearers fanning Baba, are depicted as part of a devotional ceremony. The chapter emphasizes the collective joy, music, and chanting, suggesting a spiritual event, not a lesson in organizational delegation or a model for worldly affairs. The roles seem to have emerged from devotion, not from a prescribed management doctrine.
The procession is described with many people having specific roles, like Tatya, Mhalasapati, and Bapusaheb Jog. Does this represent a hierarchical structure that Baba taught for efficient management and delegation in worldly affairs?
