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.

Inspired by the life and teachings of Meher Baba, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment that welcomes all regardless of background, race, ethnicity, age, gender, national origin, socioeconomic status, religious or political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, and other visible and nonvisible differences.
“Do your best. Then, don’t worry; be happy in My love.
I will help you.”
~ Meher Baba

Reading God Speaks
Poetry Workshop
11:30 - 1:00
One of the most remarkable programs of last year was attended by only a fortunate few. We have a second chance.
In the words of our resident poet Roxy (Naraghi) Sayah: "Together, we will flow like a river, carrying the echoes of longing, the fragrance of devotion, and the light of remembrance of our beloved Meher Baba, while we will weave words like garlands, crafting verses that awaken, uplift, and surrender. No experience necessary, all will rise through you naturally…”
Bring your journal, or tablet or laptop—paper and pens will also be provided if you prefer. This is a meeting not to be missed.
Also This Sunday!
Baba Tech Bar
10:00 - 11:00
The Baba Tech Bar is back!
Before the poetry workshop, Roxy will be in the bookstore 10-11 am to assist with all your tech needs.
Got tech troubles with your phone or laptop? Struggling to upload or download files? Need help using an app or AI?
First come, first served. If Roxy doesn’t have the answer, she’ll point you in the right direction.
