Three Incredible Weeks
In September, 1954, Meher Baba invited twenty of His Western men followers to India to stay with Him. The time became known as the “Three Incredible Weeks,” during which the men got a sense of what life was like with the Avatar. They were given lots of personal loving attention and discourses as well as experiencing a mass darshan and playful games, among many other things. This excerpt from the film “Three Incredible Weeks” chronicles the events of one of those days, Friday, September 24th, when Baba took the Western men to visit the village of Arangaon. Narrated by Bill LePage with music by Bob and Jane Brown, it gives a wonderful sense of what it may have been like to be with Baba then.

“All of the questions that I had asked the priest, He answered… my mind was satisfied.”
We are delighted to share a talk from our latest series of informal talks at the Dilruba Reading Room!
Arsenio Rodriquez’s Baba’s story is rich in details, delightful coincidences and unusual signs. Raised in a Catholic family in Puerto Rico, he had a great love of Jesus as a child. He also had an imaginary friend he sometimes thought was Jesus. At one point, Arsenio even wanted to be a priest. But he eventually lost that faith in God. He first heard Meher Baba’s name in 1969 in a song by the artist Melanie. Several years later, after moving to Miami and having had a series of extraordinary experiences, he read God Speaks, Listen Humanity, and the Discourses. But it wasn’t until he went to the Center that he became a Baba lover.

“… When you think of Him, that engenders the link, and the link engenders the love, and the love makes it easier for you.”
In Part Two of this humor-filled recording, Bili Eaton talks about the challenges of following Baba’s direct orders and how she once got an order wrong and the subsequent fallout. She also shares her experiences during the 1962 East West Gathering – including getting soaked in the unexpected rainstorm as well as how hard it was to go back to India after Baba dropped His body. When she did finally go back in 1979, she shares how Baba melted her concerns and criticisms when she arrived. She also says of loving Baba, “All He asks of you is that you try.”

“Every time He would see somebody He’d let out the flood gates of His love…”
Bili Eaton first met Meher Baba in 1952 in New York and upon first seeing Him felt a shock, “as if I had stepped on a live wire” and then a love “greater than any love I’ve ever experienced.” In this 1988 recording she shares some “little instances… of what Baba was like” during his 1956 and 1958 visits to the US. From times when she was lucky enough to be alone with Him to seeing Baba after knowingly disobeying Him to hiding in the shrubbery just to be near Him more, this recording is full of humorous episodes as well as what it was like to get a small glimpse of Baba’s profound suffering.

“All thought and action became permeated with or centered on Baba and I was no longer alone.”
In this prepared talk on “Pleasing Baba,” Kitty Davy briefly recounts her first meeting with Baba and their time together in East Challacombe. Initially, Kitty talks about what Baba did to please them. They played games, like Cricket and Seven Tiles, as He drew them to Him. He made it clear that play and recreation are also part of His divine game. Then, she says, came the trials and tests and the challenge of pleasing Him, to try to keep “cheerful and happy” and keep Baba always in your thoughts. She also reads from letters that Baba sent to the English group and shares some biblical quotes on pleasing God.

“There’s no such thing as static love, love has to be active.”
In this to-the-point and inspiring video, Kitty Davy talks about how she was drawn to Baba “almost like a magnet.” She was particularly moved by His teaching that the practical life and the spiritual life should be lived “harmoniously together.” She also shares how from the beginning she immediately felt her love for Baba was meant to “translate itself into selfless love and selfless service.” She also reminds us that Baba never leaves the Center, which is meant to be a place where Easterners and Westerners from all over the world can come together “talk about God as easily as you can talk of your profession.”
