DESCRIPTION:Meher Baba Q & A is an informal opportunity to ask questions about Meher Baba\, His life\, work\, philosophy and more.

The OK was chosen because Meher Baba Himself walked through this building countless times during all three visits to the Center \nThe Center endeavors to offer opportunities for personal and familial connections between guests in the hopes of encouraging natural links between them\, as well as additional avenues to learn more about Meher Baba. \nThe inspiration for this special time of Q & A was kindled by the enduring examples of Elizabeth Patterson\, Kitty Davy and Jane Haynes. With great personal warmth and accessibility\, these remarkable disciples of Meher Baba invariably welcomed newcomers and old timers in the spirit of joyful homecoming to “Meher Baba’s Home in the West where all who come may experience His love.”

SUMMARY:Prayers & Arti\, Barn
DESCRIPTION:Arti is a ceremony of worship involving devotional songs of praise to the Lord. In the Meher Baba community\, Arti was often performed before Meher Baba during His lifetime\, and is still performed twice a day at His tomb in India. \nThere are three prayers written by Meher Baba that are said at the beginning of Arti: the Master’s Prayer\, the Prayer of Repentance\, and the Beloved God Prayer. After the prayers are said\, two of five special songs are sung that were written for this purpose and were approved by Baba for use as Artis. Afterward\, there is a time for anyone who wants to express their love in their own way\, often through music\, poetry\, or storytelling. \nMeher Baba made it clear\, again and again\, that He had come to “abolish … rites and rituals\,” and that ceremonies done simply by rote had no meaning on the spiritual path. Paradoxically\, however\, He participated in Arti. Even toward the end of Baba’s life\, when He was suffering severely from back and hip pain from His 1956 car accident\, He still insisted on standing for the prayers. Baba said\, “My participation in these prayers has great significance\, and by it\, the prayers are being invested with added power\, which people will feel when reciting them and be benefited.” \nAt the Meher Center\, Arti is performed approximately once per month. Many people feel that by coming together as a group for these special prayers and songs\, they can feel Baba’s presence palpably\, and His acceptance of their love and offering.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the Divine\, Library Reading Room
DESCRIPTION:This sharing of poetry\, music and readings is an informal way of sharing God’s love and presence in our lives. While words cannot begin to describe the complex charms of being with the divine Beloved\, they do have power to weave this experience magically into poetry\, songs and prose. \nThe gathering welcomes guests to bring their own brief offerings or those of master crafters to share with the group. Rumi\, Hafiz\, St Theresa of Avila and Kabir always end up making it to the circles\, we wonder why! Have nothing to share? You are still welcome to just listen and be inspired by the works of these greats.

SUMMARY:Readings from Meher Baba's Discourses\, Library Reading Room
DESCRIPTION:Written in the 1940’s\, Discourses is among Meher Baba’s primary works that shines the light of true knowledge on life’s perplexing problems. This book serves as a practical guide for the determined seeker navigating the spiritual path. \nThe reading of Discourses at the Center is one of the four purposes stated in the Meher Center Charter written by Meher Baba Himself. The purpose of these weekly gatherings is to examine and attempt to absorb the wisdom embedded in the words of the Avatar of the Age. Participants take turns reading aloud from the book and afterwards there is a brief discussion on the selected chapter. The Discourses provide the reader with Meher Baba’s blueprint on how to live His life of love and truth. \nAll are welcome to join in the reading of this spiritual classic.

SUMMARY:Prayers & Arti\, Barn
DESCRIPTION:Arti is a ceremony of worship involving devotional songs of praise to the Lord. In the Meher Baba community\, Arti was often performed before Meher Baba during His lifetime\, and is still performed twice a day at His tomb in India. \nThere are three prayers written by Meher Baba that are said at the beginning of Arti: the Master’s Prayer\, the Prayer of Repentance\, and the Beloved God Prayer. After the prayers are said\, two of five special songs are sung that were written for this purpose and were approved by Baba for use as Artis. Afterward\, there is a time for anyone who wants to express their love in their own way\, often through music\, poetry\, or storytelling. \nMeher Baba made it clear\, again and again\, that He had come to “abolish … rites and rituals\,” and that ceremonies done simply by rote had no meaning on the spiritual path. Paradoxically\, however\, He participated in Arti. Even toward the end of Baba’s life\, when He was suffering severely from back and hip pain from His 1956 car accident\, He still insisted on standing for the prayers. Baba said\, “My participation in these prayers has great significance\, and by it\, the prayers are being invested with added power\, which people will feel when reciting them and be benefited.” \nAt the Meher Center\, Arti is performed approximately once per month. Many people feel that by coming together as a group for these special prayers and songs\, they can feel Baba’s presence palpably\, and His acceptance of their love and offering.
