“You Are My Neighbor”
Laura Delavigne was Meher Baba’s “neighbor,” living near the Center since 1953 and spending a great deal of time with Kitty, Elizabeth, and Baba’s other Western lovers. In this audio recording, she shares about her search for God, including her deep connection with Sufism and Inayat Khan, and her eventual meeting with Meher Baba in 1952 when she said she knew she had “reached the goal” of her life.

“Where there is Nothing, there is God”
In this rare early talk on the Center, Charles Purdom, one of Meher Baba’s earliest Western disciples and a scholar, talks about meeting Meher Baba and writing his monumental books, The God Man and The Perfect Master. To his surprise as a skeptic, he was asked by Baba to write His biography. His inner journey, writing process and revelations during his times with Baba are unique gems for any seeker.
“I Believe”
In this film, Bernice Ivory, whom Kitty Davy called a “great disciple of Meher Baba”, shares her early experiences of coming to Baba in the 1950’s. Unfortunately, only the first portion of her story was recorded, but it gives a taste of her devotion, her humor, and, most importantly, how Baba overcame her skepticism with His presence and love.-
