Conversations about Meher Baba

Late Night Chat with Margi Connor & Peter Goodman: Mehera’s Birthday, Dec 22, 2022, live on BabaZoom

Late night chat centered around our Beloved. A sharing of hearts led by Margi Connor and Peter Goodman.Jai Baba to everyone!As many of us know, Mehera's birthday falls on the day of the Late Night Chat this week. How wonderful that we can all gather together and shares stories of Her Love together.Here is a sweet excerpt from Lord Meher describing one of Her birthday's spent with Beloved Baba. I hope in reading this we can begin tonight with the frangrance of that experience.Mehera's birthday was observed wonderfully in Meherabad on Tuesday, 25 December 1945. In addition to the lovers from Bombay and Poona, many from Ahmednagar participated in the event. A qawaali program was held and every person took advantage of the occasion to take Baba's darshan.As Age described: "The Garden of Meherabad blossomed with the heartfelt songs of his birds.In the excitement and joy of celebrating the birthday of the Queen, sweet melodies in honor and praise of the Garden's Lord filled the air. Age after age, when the Master of creation descends on earth to freshen and revive its sagging spirits, only one such woman has the blessedness of becoming the Garden's Queen. The chance is given only to the woman who has done penance birth after birth, and the tears from the lamp of her penance enhance and water the Garden's beauty."The good fortune of becoming Queen in this age went to Mehera. Words are insufficient to describe her destiny. That heart in which the lamp of purity burns is worthy of gaining this honor; and in the descent of Meher — Mehera will be worshiped, side by side with her beloved Baba."I hope tonight we can share all our experiences and ineractions with Mehera, either in the body or along the journey of the inner life. Can't wait to see how you have felt, Loved, and honored Her in your lives.In Baba & Mehera's Love, Margi and PeterTo join the email list for Late Night Chats, please contact AngelaThis event was recorded live.

Late Night Chat with Margi Connor&Peter Goodman: Laurent Weichberger, Dec 15, 2022, live on BabaZoom

Late night chat centered around our Beloved. A sharing of hearts led by Margi Connor.Jai Baba to all of you,This week we will have special guest Laurent Weichberger on. He came to follow Meher Baba in Manhattan during 1986. His first publication for Baba was, A Mirage Will Never Quench Your Thirst: A Source of Wisdom about Drugs (2003), aimed at helping the youth of America to stop using drugs, and to find a natural high through the life of the spirit. That project connected him with Don Stevens, and they worked together for Baba from 2002 until Don’s passing nine years later. During that time, Don asked Laurent to help a specific Baba group with forgiveness, which resulted in a seminar series, “Forgiveness with Meher Baba,” and a book of the same title. The forgiveness work spawned an urge to apply a similar approach with surrender. The seminar Surrender with Meher Baba was created, and that led to a book with the same. His most recent book is, An Almost Perfect Balance, the Authorized Biography of Don E. Stevens (Asheville: OmPoint Press, Nov. 5, 2022). Laurent is a Customer Success Manager specializing in Data Quality, as well as Use Case Discovery. He lives in North Carolina with his wife, three of their six children, and Khadija their loving cat. Laurent will begin the evening by speaking about his new book on Don Stevens. After he will be completely open to answer any and all questions you may have!Can't wait to connect with all of you.So much Love in Him, Margi and PeterTo join the email list for Late Night Chats, please contact AngelaThis event was recorded live.

Join us for spontaneous chat, more readings, songs, quotes, you never know what treasures will be uncovered! Topic: Entertaining BabaDear folks of Baba, Back in 1960 at Guruprasad in Pune, Meher Baba once said of His own experience, “The same theater, the same show, the same actors, twenty-four hours a day eternally, and I have to not only stay awake, but smile and clap.” Given that He is there watching us every moment, personally, I thought we could entertain Him. Do you have a poem you especially like that touches you, a song you would like to offer, an exchange with one of the mandali that was life-changing or meaningful, a meeting with Baba, a joke that He would like, a touching experience of Baba from your own life, even a dream, a Sufi story that speaks to you, a drawing or painting?

Late night chat centered around our Beloved. A sharing of hearts led by Margi Connor.Jai Baba!Thank you so much for welcoming Peter and I with so much Love last Thursday. We are beyond excited to be hosting a Late Night Chat.Peter and I were discussing all the transformational changes that seem to be taking place in the world and each one of our lives. It feels as if Baba is truly stirring the pot. So much of our life with Baba is navigating the world while remaining inward and connected to Him. We thought it would be lovely and helpful to discuss all the ways Baba shows us He is with us throughout our struggles and triumphs. Everyone has their own unique way of connecting with the Beloved within. We would love to hear your experience and hopefully encourage one another to find that His voice inside of us. Do you have a way of connecting with Baba when things get tough? Do you have a trick for remembering to thank Him when He brings us changes of joy? How do you hold to Him when it feels as if He has abondoned you? Do you have a story or experience of a time when Baba showed up in you desperation?We can't wait to see how this conversation goes and to hear all about your experiences with our constant companion.
