“He speaks to us within our hearts”

Raj Khilnani grew up around Meher Baba and retired as a senior officer in the police department in Maharashtra. As a child he lived with his family at Khushru quarters under Baba’s direction and the Khilnani family remained connected with Baba throughout their lives. Here, Raj reflects on how Baba helped him through the ups and downs of a highly competitive and challenging work life, the many “coincidences” that were Baba’s guiding, invisible hands and His speaking to us internally. He ends with reading letters that Baba wrote to him and his parents.

“You loved Baba and He did the work”

In this frank talk, Donald Mahler shares his journey with Meher Baba. First learning about Baba through Margaret Craske while pursuing a career as a ballet dancer in the 1950’s, Donald met Baba twice at the Meher Center, and again at the East-West Gathering in 1962. But despite believing in Baba and trying to follow His orders, it was only after decades of hard-won lessons that Donald could feel the intimacy and love that were always there.
