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.

Meher Baba has said:

My message since ages and from eternity without beginning has been of love. God alone is real, and to know Him we must love Him. God resides in us all equally and He wants silent love within. We can love Him also by loving our fellow beings, and if we love God honestly, all our doubts, worries and anxieties of ages vanish.*

As a final reminder, we are excited to be hosting the Virtual Youth Sahavas next week from 7/31 to 8/2. It is not too late for interested participants to  register for the event .

"He walked all through the forests of the Center"
Meherjee Karkaria first met Meher Baba in 1923 at Meherabad and went on to become a close disciple who exemplified obedience. He was one of the Eastern men who accompanied Baba to the Meher Center in Myrtle Beach in 1952 and 1956. In this rare audio, Meherjee is back at the Center in 1970. He is heard walking around the Center reminiscing about his time with Baba, pointing to places Baba had been, and answering questions of a curious group about lesser known things that Baba said about the Center.

"I felt completely loved"
Ann Conlon found out about Meher Baba in 1956. Here, she shares what she calls the “fairytale” of her longing to meet Him after a missed opportunity in Myrtle Beach in 1958—and her eventual journey to India "for the weekend" (from New York!) to accept Baba’s invitation for darshan for just one day in 1961. Ann speaks with humor and poise about her experience of Baba’s love and presence.

Correction: In last week's offering, we stated that Baba was carried in His lift chair in 1956 and 1958. In fact, He only used the lift chair in 1958, after His auto accident in 1956 in India.
