Meher Baba at the Delmonico Hotel
This raw, unedited audio of Meher Baba and His lovers was recorded at the Delmonico Hotel in 1956. Perhaps it will provide a glimpse of what it was like to be with the Master during that special time. Within the varied, everyday sounds, it is possible to make out Eruch interpreting Baba’s gestures as He moves easily from spiritual subjects to everyday logistics; laughter erupting as Baba tosses grapes as prasad; and lovers old and new being introduced to their Beloved.
