On September 20, 1954, Meher Baba took His 20 western guests and members of His Mandali to Sakori, to show them the Ashram of Upasni Maharaj, one of His five Perfect Masters, and to meet Godavari Mai, the Kanyas and others. This event was captured on 16 mm film by Lud Dimpfl, with still photographs by Panday, Darwin Shaw, and others.The following day Baba told the men about the rich history of His connection with Upasani Maharaj and Sakori. This 22 minute film, just produced this year, beautifully chronicles those moments with a musical backdrop.
