Meher Baba 
At Meher Center, 1956
Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,
 
Jai Baba to all. By now you will have received notification of the Center’s reopening on October 1, 2021. In taking reservations, we will employ the same application (lottery) system we utilize for the New Year’s holidays.  Reservations will be scheduled from October 1, 2021, to January 2, 2022 using this system.

The deadline for submitting a reservation request form is Wednesday, September 1, with the drawing taking place the first week of September. Rest assured that the Gateway staff is committed to seeing that as many people as possible will be accommodated.

This coming week we celebrate the birthday of the remarkable disciple Kitty Davy. Kitty was one of the women Mandali who was asked by Baba to move from India, where she was living with Him at the time, to live and work at Meher Center. She was a loving and guiding presence at the Center from 1952 until 1991, affecting the lives of countless pilgrims longing for the loving scent of the God-Man. We have included an audio of Kitty in honor of her birthday.
 
In Baba’s love and service,

"He asked us to be conscious of His love for us”
In part one of this audio, Kitty Davy is interviewed by Alan Cohen about her remarkable life with Meher Baba. While taking a medical break from her career as a music teacher she heard about Baba from Meredith Starr and her brother Herbert who believed that Baba was someone like Christ. It so happened that Kitty found herself receiving Meher Baba at Victoria Station in London in 1931 and took Him to her house where Baba stayed. More personal contact followed when Baba assured His help toward her brother Herbert, granted Kitty's deepest desire and revealed how Kitty had been with Him for ages. When Baba called her to join Him in 1932, Kitty went on to give herself in love and service to Baba while learning to serve, surrender and obey.

"We were His"
Jimmy Khan was taken to meet Meher Baba by his mother when he was 17 years old. His mother, devastated by recently losing her husband and trying to raise her three children alone, fell into Baba’s arms and sobbed and sobbed. Baba comforted her and told her that each of her three children, including Jimmy, was His. The rest of Jimmy’s life centered around Meher Baba: from His guidance on what career path to choose, to playing rousing and humorous card games with Him, to an ever-deepening recognition of His infinite love.
