About the "group of individuals"
[edit]Removed the new section by User:121.98.134.144: "It is also a group of individuals (mandal)who gather together for a religious or cultural recital like ramayan,bhajan and Faag and is very widespread in Fiji and who have taken it with them to New Zealand,Astralia,Canada and United States".
Here's why. 1. It isn't clear what this is talking about. Is it a religion. It says "a group of individuals." 2. There is no reference given, no citation from a published work.
If this group meets Wikipedia Notability standards and there is a published source about it, there can be a disambiguation page made and the current "Mandali" article can be retitled "Mandali (Meher Baba)" and this group (If it is notable) can have another disambiguation name.

However, I was taking it on good faith. Now looking more closely I see I have likely been duped by a joke. The term given is "Mandal" and that would not require a disambiguation page as it is spelled differently. Also it seems to mean the Islamic holy month of "ramadan" by "ramayan" (which doesn't appear to mean anything) and conflates it with bhajan (which is a type of song in Hinduism) and what is "Faag?" Also, nothing is widespread in Fiji. So I guess the joke is on me. In the future this will be erased as vandalism as I ought to have done by I'm having a slow morning.
