Silence Day at Meher Center: A Written Story – By Wendy Haynes Connor
First published in Divya Vani in September 1966, this article written by
Wendy Haynes, then aged fifteen, gives a glimpse into the celebration of Silence Day at Meher Center during Beloved Baba’s lifetime. Rich with Baba’s own words about His silence, His cable to Elizabeth and Kitty on the occasion of the 41st anniversary of His silence and the beautiful details of the community and surroundings at the Center, this is an inspiring piece for commemorating this day.
“Baba’s Silence was so natural”

“My Love story with Baba”
Rhoda and Adi Dubash were old time lovers of Baba who later resided in Meherabad. In part one of this talk, Adi shares what being a Baba lover means to him, then passing the baton to Rhoda who shares her story of coming to Baba. The story begins with calling out to the impersonal God when she was in danger, being hell bent on not being involved with Meher Baba and then discovering her husband Adi’s love for Baba. In a state of turmoil, she silently challenged Meher Baba in her heart for Him to prove His Godhood. And there started a love story.
