Meherabode

Avatar Meher Baba Center of Southern California
1214 South Van Ness Avenue
Los Angeles

Affectionately named Meherabode - home of the compassionate one - our center is devoted to those who love Meher Baba, as well as those interested in knowing more about Him. It’s an oasis of calm in the city where all can gather in His name.

“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.

COVID SAFETY POLICY: Updated 9.20.23

Based on LA County Public Health and CDC guidelines, masking will be by individual preference when COVID-19 Hospital Admission Levels in the county are low. Masking is still strongly recommended for vulnerable persons, including those who are elderly, immunocompromised, or have underlying health conditions. As many in our community are vulnerable, please consider masking when in crowded indoor places. We will continue to update this policy regularly as Public Health guidelines evolve.
