Dr Ghani: Meher Baba’s Childhood Friend
This is an excerpt (dubbed in English) from a play performed by the Bombay Group at Meherabad in October of 2019 and in Mumbai for Baba’s birthday in 2020. Here, we see an incident with Dr Ghani, one of Baba’s childhood friends and close disciples. Baba has asked all His Mandali to write an article about His Avatarhood. What follows during the process is a demonstration of His harsh early spiritual training where He tested and tried His disciples and expected nothing short of equipoise in return. Will Ghani pass the test?

“He asked us to be conscious of His love for us”
In part one of this audio, Kitty Davy is interviewed by Alan Cohen about her remarkable life with Meher Baba. While taking a medical break from her career as a music teacher she heard about Baba from Meridith Starr and her brother Herbert who believed that Baba was someone like Christ. It so happened that Kitty found herself receiving Meher Baba at Victoria Station in London in 1931 and took Him to her house where Baba stayed. More personal contact followed when Baba assured His help toward her brother Herbert, granted Kitty’s deepest desire and revealed how Kitty had been with Him for ages. When Baba called her to join Him in 1932, Kitty went on to give herself in love and service to Baba while learning to serve, surrender and obey.

“We were His”
Jimmy Khan was taken to meet Meher Baba by his mother when he was 17 years old. His mother, devastated by recently losing her husband and trying to raise her three children alone, fell into Baba’s arms and sobbed and sobbed. Baba comforted her and told her that each of her three children, including Jimmy, was His. The rest of Jimmy’s life centered around Meher Baba: from His guidance on what career path to choose, to playing rousing and humorous card games with Him, to an ever-deepening recognition of His infinite love.
