Dear Family and Friends,

Greetings from Meher Center!  

Below is Meher Baba's Message for the opening ceremony of Kovvur Meher Centre on 20th Nov. 1953.

BE TRUE TO YOUR DUTY

I want you to make me your constant companion.

Think of me more than you think of your own self.

The more you think of me, the more you will realize my love for you.

Your duty is to keep me constantly with you throughout your thoughts, speech and actions.

They do their duty who, sincere in their faith and love, surrender to me, guided by the implicit belief in my Divinity as Baba.

They too do their duty who speak ill of me and condemn me through their writings urged by their genuine conviction that Baba is a fraud.

But they are the hypocrites who, not knowing their own minds, are constantly doubting; they are at times, through false emotions, inclined to believe in me; and at others to indulge in slanderous gossip

against me.

No amount of slander can ever affect or change me; nor any amount

of admiration and praise enhance or glorify my Divinity.

Baba is what He is.

I was Baba; I am Baba; and shall for ever more remain Baba.



My blessings to you all.*

In Baba's Love and Service,

Buz Connor,

For Meher Center board and staff

Michael LePage was fortunate enough to grow up in Meher House in Sydney, Australia. He lived there with his parents Bill and Joan, sisters Jenny and Ruth, and, for several years, his "uncle" Francis Brabazon. They hosted Meher Baba there on his 1956 visit to Australia. In this talk, Michael begins by discussing a man named Baron von Frankenburg who was a follower of the Sufi leader Inayat Khan. The baron eventually came into Meher Baba's orbit and ultimately funded the construction of Meher House. Michael then goes on to share wonderful stories of Francis, as well as his own childhood experiences of meeting Meher Baba.

Meher Baba's close disciple and secretary Adi K. Irani tackles the meaning of "Jai Baba." Noting the phrase is said with such frequency in the Baba community that "we do not even bother to find out what it really means."

From there Adi takes on the meaning of the word Avatar, and the Avatar's relationship to God. With clarity and dexterity, he explains the confounding conundrums inherent in that relationship. For a transcript of this talk, click here.
