No no no to friends hanging around to avoid unnecessary or unwanted distractions and bad influence from kids with bad parental upbringing.

Children they say are ambassador of their parents. When you see some kids and the way they behave in public you as a parent you will never want your children around those kids because you feel they will influence your own children negatively, and this is how baba operates as well. He want everyone around to speak well of his children and because of this he want every of his children to act responsibly both home and abroad.

So, you can see that nobody wants to be associated with failure or bad influence. As baba will always say, people will always ask, whose child is that either in a positive or negative way it depends on the mood the child was found, so everything as they always say depend on parental upbringing so please i do not want fingers pointed at my house because you children did something wrong in public please and please baba will plead with his children.
