Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,

The staff and board at Meher Center send much love to you and your family this holiday season. Even though we will continue to follow fairly strict masking and gathering protocols at the Center during the holidays, we will be presenting a wide variety of programming for those who will be visiting later this month. Please check our online calendar for upcoming events.

On December 15, 1918, Meher Baba’s remarkable sister, Mani, was born in Poona, India. Her life was a selfless gift of love to her Beloved and to the world.  Happily, there are numerous videos of Mani that capture her sparkling personality, and a wonderful biography by Heather Nadel, The Joyous Path, that chronicles her life with Baba. This week we offer a delightful glimpse of Mani in Mandali Hall at Meherazad.

We are also presenting a talk by Irwin Luck given over Thanksgiving weekend this year at the Meeting Place. Many thanks to Irwin for sharing his love for Baba with us all.

We hope to see you at the Avatar’s home in the West in 2023!

In Baba’s love and service, 

Buz Connor

For Meher Center board and staff

Family Letters #50

Read by Daniel Peach

8:43

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.

This charming video captures an afternoon in Mandali Hall with Baba's sister Mani in 1989. Mani shares humorous incidents of life with Baba that give an intimate glimpse of His ways. The stories include anecdotes about Elizabeth Patterson and Kitty Davy, two of Baba’s lovers who were integral to the development and care of Meher Center.

In this humorous and moving talk, Irwin Luck shares the story of how he came to Meher Baba. From reading Listen, Humanity at a library in New York, to his initial correspondence with Baba, to a series of miraculous property sales, to being interrogated by a foul-mouthed police sergeant at the request of his father, we experience the twists and turns of Irwin’s path to the Beloved. Then we hear about the moment when Irwin finally met Baba, and how Baba’s love changed him—and, ultimately, his family.
