I have come not to teach but to awaken. ~Meher Baba

Meher Baba declared in 1952, that he is the same Ancient One, who returns again and again, throughout the ages, to redeem man from his bondage of ignorance and to guide him to realize his true Self. Meher Baba is acknowledged by his many followers all over the world as the Avatar of the Age.

This Week at Meherabode

Davana Brown on Eruch Jessawala
September 7th - 13th

Sunday, September 7th - 11-1:30pm at MEHERABODE
Let’s give Davana Brown a big Meherabode welcome at her first of 4 greater Los Angeles appearances. Today Davana will introduce her extraordinary 3 volume series of books about Eruch Jessawala—15 years in the making. Long-time resident at both the Trust office in Ahmadnagar and at Meherazad, Davana was exceedingly fortunate to be the right hand ‘man’ to the right hand man of Avatar MEHER BABA, Eruch Jessawala. The meeting will be informal and will include readings from book one, answering our questions and end with a book signing. Bring your copies. Books will be available for sale in the book store. We are so fortunate to have Davana at Meherabode. These opportunities to hear from Davana are not to be missed.
Tuesday, September 9th - 6:00-8:30
