“The chance to obey My order”
Mehernath Kalchuri is the son of Bhau Kalchuri, Meher Baba’s beloved watchman and author of Lord Meher. In this video, Mehernath shares countless stories demonstrating Baba’s love for His devotees and the lessons He taught them. For example, Baba once asked His Mandali member Vishnu to bring Him His alphabet board, and when Vishnu started walking uphill barefoot, Baba gave him His slippers. Vishnu said, “Baba, I will obey whatever you say, but those are God’s slippers, I can never wear them.” Baba teaches him the importance of truly obeying God’s word, and not just going along with cultural customs. This is just one short story from a treasure trove of Baba memories that truly makes you feel like you are right in the room, sitting and listening to Mehernath.

“Trying my very best”
During a chat in Mandali Hall, Katie describes how she started cooking for Baba during the Blue Bus tours. She had “never been in the kitchen in [her] life” when Baba called her to Him along with Eruch’s sister Manu and asked them to cook for all 35 of the women on the journey. Despite their apprehension, both said yes. Katie would find joy in the kitchen for the rest of her life.

“Baba gives us the condition, but also helps us to abide by it”
Bal Natu first had Baba’s darshan on a train platform in Nagpur in 1944. He was granted Baba’s permission to visit the ashram anytime, and thus, in the later years, spent his time off from work staying with Baba at Guruprasad and Meherazad. He came to live in Meherazad permanently in 1977, delighting pilgrims with his stories of life with Baba. In this lighthearted recording, Bal shares a few anecdotes about Baba’s message on worry, wrapping up with a humorous story of a time he shared his own worry with Baba.
