Talk by Merwan Dubash
Merwan Dubash (son of Adi and Rhoda Dubash) grew up in close contact with Meher Baba and spent time with the Master throughout his childhood and youth. In this talk, Merwan describes Amartithi at Meherabad from his experience of volunteering there over the past two decades. Then he focuses on six weeks that he spent with Baba in 1965, when he was 18 years old. Through his description of simple acts like reading the newspaper to Baba or playing card games with Him, we get a glimpse of intimate daily contact with God in human form.

Amartithi Time Lapse
In this time lapse that captures the pulse of Baba’s 50th Amartithi in India, Bob Fredericks demonstrates the dramatic physical build up that supports the outpouring of collective love that spools at Meherabad each January. The atmosphere is charged even when the physical structures come down, and the power of His presence still reverberates and strikes hearts.

“Has He kept His promise?”
In this talk, Meherwan Merchant powerfully describes the life of Pleader, one of Baba’s dear Mandali. While Pleader was seeking God-realization as a young man in 1928, he was told by Narayan Maharaj that he would find his guru within a month. Soon after, he found himself at Meher Baba’s feet. Baba promised Pleader God-realization, but not without severe suffering. From months of seclusion, to journeys through the Himalayas, to exhausting work with Masts, to intense physical pain, Pleader lived for Baba for thirty-two more years until the moment He fulfilled His promise.

“Baba’s perfect timing”
In this talk, Jehangir Daver describes his journey to Baba. Despite his family’s relationship with Baba’s masters Hazrat Babajan and Narayan Maharaj, Jehangir’s first connection with the Avatar was a powerful love for Jesus. He didn’t hear Meher Baba’s name until 1962, when he was 23 years old. However, he says that Baba was watching over him constantly, and eventually made Himself known through His close Persian disciple, Raosaheb. After reading Baba’s books and being convinced that He was Jesus come again, Jehangir begged Raosaheb to take him to the Master—whose face, he found, was “radiating with divine love.”
