"My center is the heart of every lover. 
Every lover with a heart that loves Baba is a center."

Meher Baba 
At Meher Center, 1956

Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,

A loving Jai Baba to all from your family at Meher Center.

This week, Meher Center’s board of directors sent out an update on the Center’s financial picture as we look toward 2021. If you missed it, you can read it here.

Meher Baba has said:

“Live not in ignorance. Do not waste your precious life-span in differentiating and judging your fellow-men, but learn to long for the love of God. Even in the midst of your worldly activities, live only to find and realize your true Identity with your Beloved God.

Be pure and simple, and love all because all are one. Live a sincere life; be natural, and be honest with yourself.

Honesty will guard you against false modesty and will give you the strength of true humility. Spare no pains to help others. Seek no other reward than the gift of Divine Love. Yearn for this gift sincerely and intensely, and I promise in the name of my Divine Honesty, that I will give you much more than you yearn for.”*

In Baba’s love and service,


Buz Connor
For Meher Center board and staff

Meher Baba at Brookgreen Gardens and the Delmonico Hotel
The first part of this offering is an informal recording by Mike Loftus of Meher Baba’s visit to Brookgreen Gardens. We hear highlights of the afternoon, including the joyful crowd moving through the gardens as Baba notes sculptural pieces; Baba stopping under a tree to describe a memory of Buddha’s enlightenment; and Tex Hightower giving Baba sandals he made. Later, the recording switches to a press conference at the Delmonico Hotel in New York. Baba covers topics including His silence, the Avatar, and God’s presence in everyone. At the end of the recording, Baba leaves the room and Adi K. Irani continues to answer questions.

"Being cheerful is an act of trust"
In this talk at the Shrine club in Myrtle Beach to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of her meeting Meher Baba, Wendy Haynes Connor recalls the profound moment of that first meeting as a six-year-old girl, then her time with Him at the birthday party at Meher Center and finally at the East-West Gathering in 1962. This warm storytelling is rich with childlike wonder and memorable details, while also sharing her family's journey to finding the Ancient One, together.
