"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,
 
Greetings to all from Meher Center. By now you will have heard that we are continuing to open the Center more and more to guest activities.
 
Tomorrow, April 2, Baba’s house will be open to those folks who are staying on the Center and to day visitors! Because we anticipate large numbers wanting to visit Baba’s house this initial week, each day visitor must have a reservation. All except guests with disabilities should go through the Gateway to sign in and park in one of the Center parking lots (Guests with disabilities and Baba’s House hosts may park at Dilruba). Click here to see last week's newsletter with full details.
 
Also, this Sunday, April 3, at 2 p.m., Meher Center’s board of directors will be holding a virtual community meeting open to all who wish to attend. Please joint us for this event, which will include breakout rooms for attendees to ask questions or express their opinions. Click here to access the meeting.
 
Stay tuned for additional announcements next week regarding programs and other activities.
 
In Baba’s love and service,
 
 
Buz Connor
For Meher Center board and staff
 
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 #21
Read by Carole Kelly
9:01

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.
"He was radiant like the sun"
Khosrow Namiranian was one of the last surviving Prem Ashram boys. He was also part of the Hazarat Babajan school created by Baba. Here, he recounts incidents of meditating with Baba, playing games with Him and kissing His feet at eight years old. He also shares his first meeting with Baba when he was in a line of boys to see Baba, because he was the shortest, he got to see His radiant form first. Finally, he answers questions about Baba's impact on his life ever since and shares his prayers to Baba. Khosrow's talk is translated from Persian, by his nephew, Farshid Namiranian.

"You took my breath away"
In this witty yet moving talk, long-time Center fixtures Ralph and Stella Hernandez recount the beginning of their lives with Baba. Having heard about Baba from a co-worker in Florida, they became interested in His teachings and decided to travel to meet Him when He came to Myrtle Beach in 1956. They met Him again on Center in 1958. Being near the Master struck a deep chord in both Stella and Ralph that would resonate for the rest of their lives.
