In September, 1954, twenty Western men had the unique opportunity to spend three weeks in the company of Avatar Meher Baba. It was a chance to participate in the Master’s daily life of service and to be in His intimate companionship on a day-to-day basis.

In this exquisite video, Darwin Shaw shares his experience of being at this Sahavas. Recorded by Bill Cliff and put together by Jamie Newell, this talk was given at Beloved Baba’s Tin Shed at Meherabad in 1982. Darwin brings Baba to life for us as we feel His love just as strongly, more than seventy years after that gathering.
