Children’s Day at Guruprasad
In 1961 Meher Baba came out of a long, deep seclusion and the first souls he wanted to see were the children of His lovers. At first only a few dozen were expected but the program swelled to include 300 children, age 1 -12 years, accompanied by one parent. Bob Fredricks put together Jal’s short footage of this special event to a tune that the women Mandali often sang while visiting the Samadhi, in slow motion so that we can better see the expressions on the faces of Baba and His young lovers during their magical reunion.

“The search was always relentless”
In this multi-faceted talk, Naosherwan Anzar begins by describing a trip he made to Iran to learn about Meher Baba’s heritage for His biography, meeting ardent lovers of Baba and learning about His father and grandfather. He then goes back to another epoch of his life, describing his zealous spiritual yearnings as a teenager, and how Baba took him in hand. He makes clear how his meetings with Baba, and Baba’s constant love and direction, led him to become the person he is and do the work he still does today.
