Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,
Loving greetings from Meher Baba’s home in the West.
As I mentioned in last week’s newsletter, Meher Center held its first virtual gathering from July 31 to August 2, in the form of the annual Youth Sahavas. This week, we want to share some of the highlights of this extraordinary loving event, with permission from participants and their parents.
The 2020 Youth Sahavas included young people from the U.S., India and Australia, as well as the young adult staff, who managed the event with a lovely mix of inclusiveness and humor. In this offering, the following programs are included:
During the Opening, Wendy Connor welcomes the participants and shares a story about Baba. At the Celebration, youth from around the world share their wonderful talents to entertain Baba, and each other. At the Senior Sharing, seniors talk about their heartfelt experience of Sahavas over the years (Aria Irani’s story provides a glimpse of this sharing). Finally, at the Closing, Wendy returns to recognize the powerful experience of the Virtual Youth Sahavas and tell a final story.
Each of these events has been a part of the Youth Sahavas each year, and it was wonderful to see them taking shape even at a distance. Through this gathering of young people, the Ancient One appeared to effortlessly demonstrate that His Love and Presence are beyond all time and space and are ever within our reach.
In Baba’s love and service,
Buz Connor
For Meher Center board and staff
