In this touching audio clip, Mani gives an intimate portrait of her and Baba’s father, Sheriar Moondegar Irani. As children they called him “Bobo” and from early age she was aware of his constant, silent repetition of God’s name as well as his seemingly magical gifts as a gardener. She also shares several instances that reflect how much Baba admired his father. At one point Baba even said, “My father, no match for him in the whole world, which is why I was born to him.”
