"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 Family and Friends,
 
A loving Jai Baba to all. By now those of you who applied for reservations through the lottery system have heard about your dates.  

How many who entered the lottery (205!) actually were accommodated, you ask. The answer is all of them!! Not all got their first choice or the exact length of stay they requested, but everyone got something, and then wait-listed themselves for other times. Now people are calling and there are still spaces open between now and January 2.

Meher Baba has said:

Whatever life holds for you is an act imparted by Me in my production of the universe and you can act best if you are happy in my will. Don’t worry. All will be well.*

In Baba’s love and service,


Buz Connor
For Meher Center board and staff

"He surrendered to Baba"
In this video, Digambar Gadekar tells the story of his father, Ramchandra Gadekar. Ramchandra Gadekar, known by Baba simply as “Gadekar,” first went to see Baba to ask Him to help relieve a stomach-ache—but ended up asking for God-realization instead. The rest of Gadekar’s life was totally devoted to Baba, from the moments when Baba stopped by his house to eat a meal or spend time with his family; to the darshan programs Gadekar arranged and the Arti he performed; to the end of Gadekar’s life, when Baba took loving care of His “Crown Jewel“ until he died with Baba’s name on his lips.

"He brought things to the surface"
In part two of this audio interview with Kitty Davy by Alan Cohen, Kitty talks about the 1930's and 40's, when she had joined Baba's ashram. Her detailed narration of the Nasik Ashram days involves nuanced sharing of the differences among the Ashram inmates and Baba's working on them. Here, she shares the concept of the Provisional Ego that Baba taught them, where one's ego is submitted to Baba so as everything that is done is done by Baba. This vivid account involves Baba's plans for a film, the trip to Cannes and the Mandali's lessons in controlling their moods.
