Who is Bhagwan Baba from Swimming Lessons and what is their importance?

In "Exercisers," Bhagwan Baba is the Bulsara family's longstanding guru whom they seek in health and employment emergencies. When Jehangir at 19 gets his first girlfriend, the parents take him to Bhagwan Baba's suburban home to ask him to resolve the growing conflict between generations. Pilgrims stand for hours queuing up for a few minutes on the bench with the bald, bearded holy man, who does not discriminate between rich and poor. It is said that when he removes his dark glasses, his eyes are remarkable. He tells the Bulsaras enigmatically that life is a trap.
