In this love-filled talk, Michael Siegell shares his story of how he came to Baba. Growing up in a Jewish family in New York, he was inexplicably drawn to Eastern cultures from a very young age. He eventually heard the name “Meher Baba” when he was 18 while attending college, and through a series of experiences where Baba drew him in closer and closer, he found himself in India by 1972, on pilgrimage to Ahmednagar. Michael’s love for Baba is present in every word and smile he shares as he recounts his life with the Avatar.
