Dear Meher Center Family and Friends,
An important note from the Gateway: We have changed our policy for making reservations for 2023! Starting November 1 (for January), Gateway is taking reservations two months in advance of the date you are asking to arrive. For example, you can reserve on November 1 for January 1, or November 5 for January 5. Just call the Gateway exactly two months ahead of the date for which you are trying to reserve. This is the earliest you can call, but of course if you miss that date, we will still accept reservations provided we have room.
Additionally, the Young Adult Sahavas at Meher Center is fast approaching. This gathering is open to those between the ages of 18-43, and will focus on celebrating Meher Baba's presence in our lives. Child care will be provided. Please click here for more information.
In July of 1959, while in Poona, India, Meher Baba said:
“Better than your being with me is my being with you! I am in everybody's heart, but I am sleeping there. It is my old, old habit. In order to awaken me, you should always call out to me and say: "Baba, Baba, Baba!" continuously. Then I, who am asleep in your heart, will not find any pleasure in remaining asleep. Let alone sleep, I shall not find time even to doze! I shall slowly be awakened in your heart by hearing your constant call—your taking my name constantly.
"Once I am awake in your heart, you too would awake and remain awake for all time. Therefore, repeat my name constantly and awaken me in your hearts so that you become awake for all time.”*
In Baba’s love and service,
Buz Connor
