“The most outstanding person”
In this video, Louis and Vivian Agostini share glimpses of their experiences with Baba. Louis worked for Paul Brunton, the spiritual thinker who wrote The Search for Secret India. Initially, Louis was put off by Brunton’s unflattering description of Meher Baba. But when Louis read God Speaks, its “depth and simplicity” changed the course of his life. Vivian, an artist, describes her deep desire to create a likeness of Baba. She eventually created a small Baba medal trying to capture the “unforgettable grandeur of expression in His eyes.” Mani told her that Baba was very pleased with it, and that it was one of the best portraits done of Him.

“Days at Meherazad”
On a visit to Meherazad in 1996, Arnavaz Dadachanji asked Pam Rubenstein to write a song with the lyrics, “Sitting on the porch, holding high the torch of His love.” She did so, along with her husband Danny Rubenstein. Now, over twenty-five years later, Bob Fredericks has added footage of Baba’s Mandali doing just that. Eruch, Mani, Arnavaz, and others are depicted as they were for so many years: sitting on Baba’s porch, pouring out His love for His family.

“If you rely on Baba, just blindly, He’s sure to be at your side. He will never leave you”
In part one of this talk, Mehroo Billimoria describes how she found out about Meher Baba in 1942 from her supervisors at work. She was only 24 years old. Like many others who were to meet Baba, she prepared a list of questions. She planned to quiz Him on Zoroaster. The moment she saw Baba, the questions evaporated: she fell in love with Him. Mehroo speaks of her faith and reliance on Baba and how even in the darkest of times, when she reached out to Him, He was there.
