“He is not a dull Avatar”

In this spirited talk, Irwin Luck discusses the time he spent with Baba, but his recollection is not a plain recounting; it is interspersed with a lifelong reflection on what it is to be with Baba and belong to Him. Irwin first went to Baba because he wanted to know God and Baba indulged his request and changed the inner fabric of his being. His inner voice intuitively led him to New York from where he finally ended up in India. Tackling questions on metaphysics and beyond, Irwin describes Baba’s work in our lives through the effacement of the mind and finally through love—the only way to God.

Journey with God

Meher Baba first declared His Avatarhood during a tour through Andhra Pradesh in 1954. In this video, we see footage of that tour: the thousands of people who came to be in Baba’s presence, and the loving personal contact He managed to make with individuals amidst the crowd. We also hear from Baba’s Mandali who were on the trip about what it was like to travel with Baba through the region and watch Him pour out His love.

The Lord of Love

The Lord of Love is a beautiful compilation of four short films of Meher Baba. It shows our Beloved in Dehradun, India in 1954; Baba’s first journey to Australia in 1956; His 64th Birthday celebration in Meherabad in 1958; and delightful times in Poona—including spending time at Guruprasad and enjoying the nature walks and gardens—in 1961. A lovely soundtrack adds a flavor of devotion to His intimate presence.
