"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 Friends & Family,
 
A loving Jai Baba from Meher Center.

A final reminder: from November 13 to 15, the Center will hold its third annual Young Adult Sahavas virtually. We look forward to hosting this event where young adults from across the world connect with one another in remembrance of Meher Baba. Please click here for more information.

I ran across this recently in the Awakener Magazine:
 
“During a stay in Poona in 1959, Meher Baba granted an informal interview to a group of members of the local press. Meher Baba told them, ‘Our very life should be such as to be God’s message of Truth in the world. If, in our everyday life, we manifest ‘Love-Service-Honesty’, renunciation is achieved without renouncing the world.’

One of them asked, ‘Meher Baba, what is the spiritual path, and what is the criteria for one being on the Path?’

Meher Baba smiled and explained, ‘When you begin to think of yourself as being on the Path, then you are not. The Path is not a defined direction set apart from yourself. It begins and ends within yourself. It is not so much the more of a path added, but so much the less of the veil of ignorance. In short, The Path is ‘I-WANT-NOTHING.”*

In Baba’s love and service,

"God talking to Himself"
This program begins with a translation of a ghazal that Meher Baba wrote in Persian; Farhad Shafa reads the original, and Dot Pierpont follows with an English translation. Then, Dot speaks about a trip to Iran and her experiences with the Baba community there. Kitty Davy shares brief stories about her time with Baba, and about the experience of Katie Irani, one of Baba's Mandali, in Japan. The program ends with another reading of Baba’s poem, and a heartfelt rendition of a song by Rumi.

"Be My living garland"
Dr. G.S.N. Moorty was a scholar of Philosophy, an author and a prolific speaker. Baba lovingly called him "the talkative disciple of the silent Master." Moorty was a true skeptic who was allergic to the word Avatar when he first heard about Baba in 1940. Here, he shares his journey of doubt and conviction, his impactful first meeting with Baba and Baba's message to him. His very interesting and profound stories are told here with humor and skilled oration.
