Every lover with a heart that loves Baba is a center."

Dear Meher Center Friends & Family,
 
A loving Jai Baba from Meher Center. 
 
I am happy to report that this past weekend, Meher Center’s board of directors announced at a virtual meeting that the Center would open its outside areas for day visitors, by reservation only, beginning October 16. Please visit our website to see the list of guidelines for visiting the retreat. Additionally, for those who are interested, we have included a video recording of Saturday’s gathering below.
 
I'm also happy to announce that the Center will hold its third annual Young Adult Sahavas from November 13 to 15. This year the event will be virtual and will include many of the usual engaging sahavas activities including artis, discussion groups, workshops, special speakers, and more. A flyer will go out next week with details. Click here for more information about the event.

In Baba’s love and service,

"He was the most appreciative audience"
Delia DeLeon, an actress and close disciple of Meher Baba since 1931, gives an informative talk about Meher Baba’s interest and work in the fields of art, theatre, dance, and in Hollywood with the film He had wanted to make. She covers a wide range of topics from Baba’s Paramount newsreel, to Shakespeare, to a group rendition of “Begin the Beguine.” It is a delightful look into Meher Baba’s work in the 1930’s, and this “great cosmic drama.”

"Obedience is a requirement of Love"
Ella Marks first heard of Meher Baba when she was a young dance student under Margaret Craske in 1947. Ella and Tex Hightower were two of Margaret’s first students after her return from her seven years with Baba in India. In this reflective sharing on the occasion of Baba's birthday, Ella recounts her first meeting with Baba, her impressions of love, the grinding down process and learning obedience from Miss Craske.
