“You loved Baba and He did the work”

In this frank talk, Donald Mahler shares his journey with Meher Baba. First learning about Baba through Margaret Craske while pursuing a career as a ballet dancer in the 1950’s, Donald met Baba twice at the Meher Center, and again at the East-West Gathering in 1962. But despite believing in Baba and trying to follow His orders, it was only after decades of hard-won lessons that Donald could feel the intimacy and love that were always there.

“He doesn’t promise us miracles but He does promise us His companionship”

Preeti Hay is a third-generation Baba lover whose grandparents came to Meher Baba in the 1950’s. She grew up in Bombay (visiting Meherabad frequently!) and now is part of the small but growing group of young Meher Center staff. In her beautiful first public talk, Preeti starts by discussing how Baba drew her family to His feet in those early days—and then how His intimate and tailored care for each of us is still very much alive.
