by Prof Surinder Bhatnagar Sab santan ki aik jat, aik jamat, – all saints have the same community and the same origin, so goes an Hindi saying. They make a single brotherhood- a brotherhood of lost individuals, lost to the world and given to God. A community of free individuals, with no belongings. Lost to the world, does not mean that he is inactive and passive. No, it is his working in the world that is different. The key to their living is detachment. He is independent of all isms, concepts and dogmas; in this sense Yogi or Sufi is post- modern, to whom, freedom means a self experience, earned through perfect detachment from all the allurements of the world. But the detachment does not mean, leading a mechanical life. It is a life of perfect love, perfect involvement due to their faith in the unity of existence. The...
MEHER BABA SPEAKS By Malladi Rama Rao And yet once again it is time to get ready for the Darshan of Darshans. From early November itself, Meherabad is getting ready for the Big Day. A very large area has been earmarked at the foot of the hill, along the rail track, for parking of vehicles. In the past, cars and taxis were allowed on the hill and had exclusive zone for ‘resting’ between the Archives and the Retreat. This time also you may still be able to drive up but once you get down, the vehicle will have to go to the new parking lot. Jal Saheb (to me, but to Jal kaka to most others), who is the master of ceremonies at Meherabad, says the new arrangement is aimed at catering to the increased rush during Amartithi. When I was there for my usual year-end recharge, I noticed...
By Jilpallivar Madhav Rao* Here Master means a Perfect Master. It is only in human form Jivatma (embodied soul) gets realisation after exhausting all sanskaras (impressions) accumulated so far. In realisation, the soul is conscious of its godhood and has no consciousness of creation. Such a soul is not capable of doing any duty in the world. There are 56 such soul on earth at any given point of time. Out of these 56 realised souls, eight souls gain consciousness of creation while retaining their god consciousness. Five such souls having consciousness of both godhood and creation are given charges with corresponding yoyayog sanskaras (impressions). They are the Perfect Masters and their number is always constant – if a Perfect Master drops body, his charge is transferred to some other eligible soul. Perfect Master works for spiritual development of his circle members specially and generally for the entire creation....
MEHER BABA SPEAKS By Malladi Rama Rao The terrorist attacks on New York’s iconic twin towers of World Trade Centre in September 2001 were part of unfolding Avataric Divine Plan for global awakening and resurrection’, says a leading Indian academic. Prof Jagadambi S. Rathore adds: “I reflected on 9/11 deeply. I am convinced that suffering of this magnitude had Avatar Meher Baba connection. It marked the unfolding of Avataric Divine Plan”. Rathore is an authority on Meher Baba’s divine message. A scientist by training and temperament, and an academic by profession, he is heading the Meher Spiritual University, which is a first of its kind virtual university. Elaborating his interpretation of the terrorist attack that shook the world, the professor speaks about a visit of Meher Baba to the Wall Street during his maiden visit to the United States in 1931. “No one was told the purpose of the...

Meher Baba gave several messages over the years. Here is a representative selection of messages given in the month of January JANUARY 9, 1941 – THE SEVEN REALITIES. It was in Jaipur, on Thursday, January 9th, 1941, that the Master dictated his message, The Seven Realities of Meher Baba’s Teaching. It stated: Meher Baba’s teaching gives no importance to creed, dogma, caste systems and the performance of religious ceremonies and rites, but to the UNDERSTANDING of the following seven Realities: 1. The only Real Existence is that of the One and only God, who is the Self in every (finite) self. 2. The only Real Love is the love for this Infinity (God), which arouses an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (God). 3. The only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this love, all things, body, mind, position, welfare and...
What constitutes the essence of prayer? Many prayers to God are current among the lovers of God, arising as they do from diverse cultural contexts. Some of the prayers invariably contain an element of asking something from God, either material or spiritual. In fact, God is so merciful and bountiful that even without their asking He always gives much more than His lovers can receive. He knows their real needs more deeply than they do. Therefore the element of asking something from God is superfluous. It often mars the inner love and worship which a prayer tries to express. The ideal prayer to the Lord is nothing more than spontaneous praise of His being. You praise Him, not in the spirit of bargain but in the spirit of self-forgetful appreciation of what He really is. You praise Him because He is praiseworthy. Your praise is a spontaneous appreciative response...
A major occupation of artists for centuries has been to portray, in various media, the face and form of God. It is only in this present age that we have thousands of photographs of the God-man, from his childhood through his adult life. There are also home movies and films of Meher Baba. They offer a glimpse of Love Personified. In this gallery we’ve selected photos of Meher Baba from each decade of his life. 1920s | 1930s | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s
O Parvardigar — the Preserver and Protector of all! You are without Beginning, and without End, Non-dual, beyond comparison, and none can measure You.
