“Just sing out”

In 1927, Baba composed a simple prayer made up of seven names of God: “Hari, Paramatma, Allah, Ahuramazd, God, Yezdan, Hu.” He first had it repeated by the Prem Ashram boys, and later sung by the women Mandali. After Katie Irani retired in 1978 and followed Baba’s order to move to Meherazad, she would wake up in the early hours to pick flowers for Arti and clean the Blue Bus. This is her own tune to the “Seven Names of God” that she sang on some of these sacred mornings.
