Saturday July 12, 8:00 PM Topic: The Silence Every July, we commemorate the day in 1925 when Meher Baba commenced his great silence. For the next 44 years, until the end of his life, he did not utter a word. No other single fact about Meher Baba is as well known or as compelling to the general public. And yet, what do we really understand about the silence and its significance? Tonight, the study group will search for answers in some of the many statements and stories surrounding this most enduring of Baba mysteries. Study materials will be distributed at the meeting. |

Saturday August 2, 8:00 PM Topic: Meher Baba on Miracles Meher Baba famously said that he did not perform miracles, and admonished his followers not to approach him with requests for miraculous intervention. On the other hand, occasionally Baba invited such requests, and countless miracles are attributed to him. Tonight, we will try to penetrate the seeming contradictions surrounding Meher Baba's miracles, using statements and stories from his life. Study materials will be provided at the meeting. |

Saturday September 6, 8:00 PM Topic: The History of the Discourses In the recent past, controversy has arisen around one of Meher Baba's great legacies, the Discourses. Some consider this work to be the word of God, and question the legitimacy of any editing done after Baba's death. Others point to the contributions of Dr. Deshmukh and others, suggesting that such contributions diminish in some way the Discourses' authenticity. In response to such questions, a detailed history of the Discourses was included in 2007's Revised Sixth Edition, shedding much light and dispelling many misconceptions. Tonight, the Study Group will consider this history in detail. Study materials will be distributed at the meeting. |
