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 from Meher Center.  

We are continuing our reopening process with additional changes beginning this Monday, March 21. For updated day visitor information, please click here. For updated information regarding overnight stays, please click here.

In general, the following changes will be taking place: testing will no longer be required, most buildings and porches will be open, masks will not be required, but will be made available. Baba’s House will not be open yet, and for the time being there will be no evening or other indoor programs. Please check the new guidelines for more specific information. 

I also wanted to let you know that we will discontinue live streaming at Baba’s Bedroom and Long Lake. Please let us know if you would like us to continue with this practice in the future.  

A special announcement about the reopening of Baba's House will be coming next week.

For nearby folks, the ‘program phone line’ will be reactivated next week. Information on programs at the Center is usually updated Wednesday afternoons, and can be accessed by calling the Program Phone Line: 843-361-2252.

In Baba’s love and service,

Program Note: Weather permitting, we are planning for an outdoor concert this coming Saturday at 2:30 p.m. by the playground. Please check with the Gateway if it looks like rain.

Family Letters #20
Read by Judith Shotwell
3:29

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.
"A place on which to stand and sing"
In this talk, Ross Keating focuses primarily on Francis Brabazon. Francis lived with Baba at Meherazad for many years, and Baba asked him to write poetry—including the epic work Stay with God. Baba once said that He was memorizing Francis’s poetry so that He would be able to quote it during His next Avataric advent. Ross shares Ghazals that Francis wrote and Baba loved. He also speaks to Francis’s artistic process, or as he puts it, “the Beloved playing with Francis.”

"His silence was never a barrier"
In part two of this audio, Bili Eaton shares the changes and challenges of her personal life and her next meeting with Baba. She met Him at Delmonico Hotel in 1956 and went to Myrtle Beach and California with Him. She narrates amusing incidents from that trip, being one of Margaret's dancers at the Center in 1958, waiting around for the Master and making the best use of being in His company. Bili ends with reflections about the fight with ourselves to love Him more and more which really is the fight on the spiritual path.
