MEHERA
THE BELOVED'S BELOVED




 
Mehera's Childhood
Mehera asked me would I be afraid in the forest like that, with wild animals roaring close by.
Mehera Sees The Lord
Ganga told Mehera and Freiny, "Merwanji, Maharaj's closest disciple, is coming."
Have You Seen A Man Who Looks Likes This?
Now we go back a little to the time in 1922 when I first saw Baba in Sakori.
Why Don't You Ask Mehera?
They were all discussing it quite hotly until Baba said, "Why are you all arguing? Why don't you ask Mehera what she wants to do?"
So Different From Family Life
He took the ring off His toe and put it on my finger.
We Thought Just Of Baba
Babajan was seated on a seat that Baba had had made for Her after He was God-realised and had come from Sakori.
Those Quiet Early Mornings Were Very Precious
So our lives were very strict, but we had Beloved Baba to ourselves; and how filled with joy we were!
In Happy Occasion Of Mehera's Birthday
I remember Baba saying once that it is not so difficult to receive His grace, as to recognize it in the form in which it comes disguised.
Don't Be Afraid, Come On, Hold Tight
He so sweetly guided me in such a way that my giddiness went.
The Dawn Light Was On His Lovely Face
It was just a glimpse for a few second, but the sight of Baba dancing and singing in the dawn light is something I shall never forget.
We Seldom Had a Treat Like This
Baba was very playful, and He loved to tease us!
How We Would Miss His Talking And Singing And Laughing
It was because of Gulmai's fall that Baba postponed the commencement of His silence until 10 July 1925.
That Much I Can Tell You
"From the first time I saw you I recognised you as My Radha," He said.
He Was So Intent On What He Was Doing
This time we felt very happy; Baba had taught us what to do.
Each Of Us Was Sure That She Was Right
"White vase?" said Mani. "There was no white vase. It was a lovely brass one."
Mehera Played The Role of Mary
Finally consoled, Naja thus received her answer and from then on began doing her work with all her heart.
What Kind Of People Could We Be?
We planned to take two days to drive by car to Badnera where we would catch a train that would start us on our journey to Kashmir.
You Are Invited For Mehera's Tea Today
After a moment or two standing there with hands folded to Him, Mehera would turn round and walk quickly to the door.
Prasad From Baba's Table
Mehera called us all into the dining room "for prasad from Baba's table."
We Bow To His Image
For seven years the image was very clear and beautiful, but then the bark began to shed and it is no longer clear in the daytime.
Think Of Baba And Say His Jai
Never forget all life's a joke.
Feeling Nice And Safe?
"Baba, I'm feeling very frightened," I told Him.
Most Of All He Loved Humanity
Someone, perhaps it was a reporter in the early days when Baba visited England, asked Baba whether He had ever been in love. "Yes," Baba replied, "I am always in love with humanity."
So Sweet To Hear Him
As Baba walked He began to sing quite loudly at each end of the platform where there were no people, and very softly as He passed us and the others waiting for the train.
Very Surprised By His Answer
One Tommy joke I still remember because Baba enjoyed it so much was this: A teacher asked her students, "Does anyone know where God is?"
A Bird's Eye View
As all four sides of the room were half glass and half wall, it had a bird's eye view of Ahmednagar.
Ring Leader Of A Gang!
Because of all these feelings, my uncle began to publish derogatory articles about Baba in the newspapers and Gujarati magazines.
Mehera's Birthday, Peter Wearing Reindeer Antlers
I can see Sheba (Mehera's lovely mare) going around, picking up her ears for her mistress's voice, for it's nearly her lunch time.
Mehera's Birthday And The New Life
Mehera's birthday was celebrated in Mahabaleshwar on Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25th, 1950.
When Will I Go To Baba?
She suddenly noticed that Baba's face had clearly appeared in the bark on the trunk of the tree directly in front of her.
Strictly Confidential
I had received a confidential letter dictated by Baba with a warning never to mention the contents, particularly to Mehera.
