“More faith and love in Baba”

In this recording, Mehera shares stories about early life with Meher Baba as she sits on her porch with some of His lovers. She focuses first on her mother’s very early days with Meher Baba in the 1920s and the fruits of her obedience to Him. Then, with a charming giggle, she talks about some of her own experiences as a young girl with Meher Baba in Meherabad and Quetta.

“An entirely different order of devotion”
In April and May of 1969, four months after Meher Baba dropped His physical body, many of His young western lovers arrived in Poona, India to keep their appointment with God. What later came to be called The Last Darshan was arranged by Meher Baba and all attendees were invited by Him. In this masterpiece of a speech to these young lovers, Francis Brabazon talks of the might of our Beloved Baba; our steps toward Him and His steps toward us; and the nourishing of His word and His song in our hearts.

“Baba alone was suffering for all of us”
In this poignant talk, Dr. Goher Irani focuses on some of Baba’s physical ailments throughout His life. Dr. Goher lived with Baba and served as His personal physician from 1947 until He dropped the body in 1969. Her experiences, including many instances of being unable to reduce Baba’s pain, made it clear to her that suffering was a necessary part of His Avataric work. Near the end of the talk, Arnavaz Dadachanji speaks to Baba’s emotional suffering.

Accepting His Way

In this short video from Mandali Hall, Mani shares stories of times with Baba. She reflects upon His unfathomable orders, following them without question, surrendering to Him with joy and never feeling bereft in His discipleship. Eloquently, she comes directly to ‘the simple point,’ we either accept our way or we accept His way.

“He took me by the hand”

In this recording, Kitty Davy and and Rano Gayley both speak about their lives with Baba. First, Kitty continues her talk from last week, touching on Baba’s work with Masts, the New Life, and the search for happiness. Then we hear from Rano, who lived with Meher Baba in India for decades. She describes her first meeting with Baba in 1933 as a somewhat skeptical newcomer, and the deep and unexpected inner changes it brought about. She then talks more about the early days with Baba and how He slowly worked on her character, first through love and then through obedience.

“Let your life be My message of love and truth”

Kitty Davy was a cheerful, bustling, ever-available fixture at Meher Center from 1952 to her death in 1991.

In Part One of this talk, Kitty speaks about her early life with Baba, hitting on some of the qualities that He instilled so deeply in those around Him: service, cheerfulness, harmony, and love.

“He never gives short”

In Part Two of this audio, Pukar and Mani share anecdotes about being with Baba in Hamirpur and in Guruprasad. They bring home great revelations through simple stories of humor and devotion. We learn about Baba’s promises and how He keeps them even if it might appear that He does not. And finally, about how He uses our strengths and weaknesses so that nothing is ever in vain in our lives with Him.

“I saw Baba as Lord Ram”

In Part One of this rare audio of Mani and Pukar, Mani encourages Pukar to share his phenomenal story of finding Meher Baba. Pukar was an agnostic newspaper editor from Hamirpur who was hell bent on exposing Meher Baba as a false guru. Involved in the freedom struggle of India, Pukar’s disillusion with the world had to be met with a serious proof of Godhood. He narrates his incredible journey of acceptance and change, and the story of Baba’s glory on the lips of the people of Hamirpur.
