“An entirely different order of devotion”
In April and May of 1969, four months after Meher Baba dropped His physical body, many of His young western lovers arrived in Poona, India to keep their appointment with God. What later came to be called The Last Darshan was arranged by Meher Baba and all attendees were invited by Him. In this masterpiece of a speech to these young lovers, Francis Brabazon talks of the might of our Beloved Baba; our steps toward Him and His steps toward us; and the nourishing of His word and His song in our hearts.
