Meher Baba on Center during His first visit in 1952

Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,

A loving Jai Baba to all. Today is the 71st anniversary of Meher Baba's first visit to Meher Center in 1952. Each year, this special time brings an abundance of pilgrims to His home in the West, and this year is no exception. In this season of rebirth, visitors find the Center radiant and overflowing with the fragrance and charm of springtime. It feels as if Baba’s presence is enriched with each pilgrim, each open heart come to rest in the embrace of their Beloved, who eternally resides within. 

One piece of Center news: We want to inform everyone that beginning in May, all Friday and Saturday evening programs will begin at 8 p.m., a change from the current 8:15 p.m. starting time. This now means that all evening programs on the Center will begin at 8 p.m.

In Baba's love and service, 

Buz Connor

For Meher Center board and staff

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.

In this presentation given at the Center last month, Jamie Newell speaks to Meher Baba’s love of the Persian poet Hafiz, and the influence of Persian culture on Baba’s life and work.

In this recording from Mandali Hall, Baba’s sister Mani share stories of making Baba laugh. With all her usual enthusiasm and charisma, Mani talks about how much Baba loved humor, and the great delight everyone got from witnessing Baba’s own enjoyment and silent laughter. Toward the end of the recording, Baba's nephew Sohrab jumps in to help Mani tell the tale of when he impersonated Baba at a darshan program in Guruprasad, a story shared in the Twins' talk from a recent offering with a splendid new perspective offered by Mani.
