A Meher Center Tour for Bal Natu

In 2001, Marshall Hay, on behalf of the Meher Center, did a very intimate tour of the Center for a very unique purpose. This was a virtual tour especially for Bal Natu, one of Meher Baba’s Mandali who lived in Meherazad, India. Bal was one of the few Mandali members who had never been to the Center. By 2001 his health had declined significantly and it was clear that he would never come. This tour is a delightful visual treat for any onlooker, as Marshall directly addresses Bal with humor and respect, while taking him through the exquisite beauty of the Center, and fusing the experience with lesser known details of Baba’s visits.

“Always be conscious of His Presence”

K.K. Ramakrishnan was a lifelong disciple with intimate contact with the Beloved. Here he talks about his coming to Baba, seeing Him for the first time and recognizing Him as the Christ. Baba’s message to him was to be cheerful and spread His message. Inspired by that, Ramakrishnan started the Poona Center with Baba’s permission. Baba personally opened this Center and gave Darshan to thousands. This sharing of his life with Baba is full of simple reflections on how to love Him and continue to remember Him.

“Nothing matters but love for God”

In the three women’s presence, and their talk about Baba, Adele found something that she had been looking for but missing in her intellectual search for meaning. In this talk, she describes her developing relationship with Baba’s remarkable Western disciples, her breathless wait for Baba’s arrival, and her eventual meeting with Him at the Center in 1952.
