“Intense love for God was created in ours hearts”
In part one of this audio, Aloba (Ali Akbar Shapurseman) talks about his arrival in India in 1927 to attend Prem Ashram, Meher Baba’s ashram school for boys, without even knowing who Meher Baba was. He narrates the experience of longing and love while with Baba and the restlessness that the boys experienced while away from Him. Filled with great details about the teachings, schedules and vignettes from Prem Ashram, this talk is a unique glimpse into the lives of the boys that were obviously chosen by the Avatar of the age.

“My one obedience brought my whole family to Baba”

Freiny Dadachanji recounts instances of obeying Baba, sometimes even against her own will. These acts of obedience pleased Baba but changed the course of Freiny’s life. Baba did not allow Freiny to go visit her family in Karachi, which caused a lot of contention with her family. But Baba had a different plan: He brought Freiny’s family to Him instead.
