Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,
 
Greetings from Meher Center in Meher Baba’s love.

We want to let you know that on December 1, the Gateway began taking regular reservations for the months of January and February 2022, for a maximum of one week only, as the Center is still functioning at a reduced overnight guest capacity due to the pandemic.

For over 50 years, dating back to the late 1960’s, Meher Center has had an ongoing and deep-rooted relationship with the Racepath community of Myrtle Beach. As many of you will recall, both Elizabeth Patterson and Jane Haynes were key figures in establishing and nurturing this meaningful connection. A major part of this relationship was Happy Club, a program blessed by Meher Baba, where children from this community would come to the Center on Saturday afternoon to enjoy a variety of activities.

Up to the present day, Meher Center continues to support the Racepath community in various ways. As many of you have expressed an ongoing interest in donating to this work during the holiday season, we are including the mailing address and website of Phoenix Renaissance, the non-profit that oversees the work: 

Phoenix Renaissance
1690 Racepath St.
Myrtle Beach, SC 29577

For those living nearby the Center, both cash and checks can be deposited in a special box found at the Gateway.    

We look forward to seeing you at Meher Center soon.
 
In Baba’s love and service,
 
 
Buz Connor
For Meher Center board and staff

Center Program Note: As the weather will be mild, we will hold an outdoor concert at the Center this Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

Family Letters #8
Read by Mani Dreyfus
5:30

These are readings of a collection of letters written by Mani, Meher Baba’s sister, to the Western family of Baba lovers between 1956 and 1969.
"He was always by my side"
Kavas Arjani grew up in a family devoted to Baba. Through stories of his parents’ unique paths to Baba in the late 1940's and deep surrender to Him; Kavas’s childhood antics that made Baba and the Mandali laugh; Kavas’s inner struggle with Baba after his brother died in 1968; and many simple, timeless moments the family shared with the Master; Kavas brings to light Baba’s constant companionship and exquisite care.

Mehera J. Irani:
Her Life with Meher Baba 
Parts One & Two
To honor Mehera's birthday later this month, we are delighted to share an audio series of her life with Baba narrated by her. The Part One of this audio was shared in May of this year to honor her reunion day with the Beloved, and is posted here for those who might want to re-listen or for those who may have missed it.

While Part One focuses on her first meeting with Baba in Sakori, Part Two continues into her coming to be with Baba as one of the early residents of His ashram in Meherabad. Here, she shares Baba's orders to them to focus on God's name, working endlessly for Him, intimate contact with Upasani Maharaj and unknowingly being prepared by Baba for her upcoming destiny to be His female counterpart.
