“My father, no match for him in the whole world, which is why I was born to him.”
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.”

“Baba was always looking for an opportunity to crack a joke…”
In this delightful talk, Charles Haynes shares stories about Meher Baba’s infinite sense of humor. From playful teasing of His close ones, to His delight in a good practical joke, to His thorough enjoyment in a funny story well-told, Baba loved to laugh, albeit silently. He especially liked it when people shared amusing things that had happened in their personal lives. Indeed, Baba made it clear that humor, for Him, was much more than joke: “What sustains me in my Universal suffering is bliss, plus my infinite sense of humor.”

“…Suffering is absolutely a necessity to go nearer to Baba, to understand Him more, to love Him more.”
With tender empathy, Arnavaz Dadachanji shares what it was like to watch Baba’s extraordinary suffering, especially during the last ten years of His life. Calling it “beyond one’s conception,” later she came to understand in a deeper way that He suffered for all of us – it was how He planted his “seed of love.” She then helps put individual suffering into perspective, counseling patience, repetition of Baba’s name, and complete reliance on Him. “He knows what is best for us.”

“I realized for the first time in my life I was home”
The second part of Ann Conlon’s “fairytale” opens with her momentous first sighting of Baba after waiting five long years to meet Him. She expected to be able to see Him for only one hour, but that hour stretched to three hours and then five full days. With her dry wit, she recounts Baba’s delight in a rambunctious, enthusiastic crowd, several stories He shared and what they meant to her, as well as what seemed like a truly confounding direction. After Baba had invited her into a meeting with the men mandali, He told her that when He returns in 700 years to “make sure that you come back as a man so you can attend these exclusive meetings.” After everyone laughed and she left, Ann thought “Wait a minute…”

“I feel happy I obeyed my beloved Baba”
Mehera tells the story of the gold ring that Upasni Maharaj gave her and how Baba used it to test her. Rich in details, Meher recounts how Upasni was given the ring and then, after wearing it on his toe and giving darshan, he put it on Mehera’s finger. Upasni then ordered her to “always keep it on your finger and don’t part with it.” But later, when she was with Baba, He asked for everyone’s gold rings. Mehera immediately complied, despite Upasni’s order, and gave the ring to Baba. Within minutes, He returned the ring to Mehera and then gave her a second one.
