The Art of Praise – Session 1: A Presentation by Ward Parks
Baba scholar Ward Parks guides us through the first of a six-part series on The Art of Praise as a Path to God. He focuses on how poetry can and has become a path to the Divine. He examines how Francis Brabazon, resident mandali & poet to Meher Baba, used his sonnets and ghazals to give praise to His Beloved. Meher Baba, in turn, hailed Brabazon’s epic devotional Stay with God as second in importance only to God Speaks.
Ward explores the concept of praise and complaint as a spiritual dialogue, wherein the lover suffers the pangs of separation from the Beloved. Ward then reviews different styles of poetry, including examples from Shakespeare, and then wraps up the presentation with a scholarly and spiritual explanation of Brabazon’s Australian Arti.

“I thought Baba was a spiritual genius, and He is!”
Musician and raconteur Jamie Newell has a Baba story rich with coincidences and early skepticism. It starts with a harrowing childhood injury that led to his becoming a musician. His first sight of Baba was years later on a “Don’t Worry Be Happy” poster in the bathroom of a fellow musician. Jamie loved the saying, which he thought sounded like it came from a yogi, but he wondered why it was paired “with this smiling Italian pizza maker.” Thus began a search for the poster, that eventually led him to the Discourses, and his first recognition of Baba. Upon seeing Baba’s picture in the third volume, Jamie says “It was like an electrical shock. I said, ‘Wait a minute. This is the pizza guy!’” And that is just the beginning of Jamie’s Baba story.

“He’s Ready for You”
Robin Vogel steps out from behind the camera this week to share her story of coming to Meher Baba. She was born to an atheist mother and a scientist father, but Robin knew early on that she was a seeker. “I knew that we were here to love each other.” Her near-death experience in the ocean showed her the “other side”, and yet she awoke back in her body. Years later, her mother who accepted Robin as a Baba Lover and went to many spiritual trips with her, still identified as an atheist. One day at the Center, she had the most beautiful feeling from Baba. She told Robin, “I know Meher Baba is the God-Man!” She was ready for Him, and He was ready for her. How wonderful this made Robin feel.
