The following video is an excerpt from the film“When Merwan Grew Up” by Robert Fredericks and the Meher English School, Meherabad, India. An endearing narration for children to acquaint them with the life of Meher Baba one of the great masters that India ever had.
An interesting video that depicts the life of Meher Baba a spiritual seeker in quest for a mentor (spiritual master) who would guide him with his higher state of enlightment and help him come down to the normal state of consciousness. His search takes him on a spiritual journey where he comes across enlightened spiritual masters like Narayan Baba of Khedgaon, Tazzudin Baba of Nagpur, Sai Baba of Shirdi and Upasni Maharaj of Sakori. Each of these masters gave him some thing that he lacked to help him with his higher state and bring down his exalted state of consciousness to the normal state. Once normal Meherwan commenced his life’s work of being an Avtar – the one who helps and guides people to understand and love god. He started inviting people around him who wanted to know more about God. People now sensed this special ability of Meherwan and started flocking around him to hear him talk about God. This was Meherwan’s forte as he was now one with God and also as his work was to help others know God.
Meherwan worked in various places like Mumbai, Pune, Ahmednagar and Meherabad. One day while working with his group Meherwan was christened with a new special name “Meher Baba” as it was felt that Meherwan was too common a name for an enlighten soul like him who knew so much about god. Since then Meherwan is known as Meher Baba meaning the compassionate father. On 10th July 1955 Meher Baba decided to stop talking for reasons best known to him, but then he was also in a dilemma as how to converse with people about God. That’s when he came up with a solution by getting an alphabet board so that he could spell out his words on it and convey whatever he wanted to say. This way he could maintain his silence and convey whatever he wanted to say.
