	7 Stars to Morning by Francis Brabazon The book, a substantial collection of Francis’ poetry, was published in Sydney in 1956. 7 Stars To Morning is divided into a number of sections, beginning with the longish poem entitled “7 Stars to Morning” The seven stars are the Southern Cross and the two ‘pointers’.A great antipodean prophetic utterance. Even non-Australians can be inspired by this! The swan of inner inspiration guides him to the revelatory mountain top cave. One striking thing about this poem is its early date of composition which Ross Keating says was 1942. Already Francis was transmuting his romantic vision of nature into an apprehension of the universal heroic search for inner truth, inspired by The Holy Mountain by Bhagwan Shri Hamsa, a book which still resides in the Francis Brabazon Library at Avatar’s Abode, Woombye, Queensland, a primary site for research on the poet.

	The Day Becomes the Answer by Charles Haynes From the Introduction: “Meher Baba Himself described Elizabeth as ‘My rock’— and indeed she was the most imperturbable, practical, and steadfast human being I have ever known. If ‘spirituality is poise” as Meher Baba has said, then Elizabeth was an exemplar of true spirituality. Baba’s Persian name for her was Dilruba, meaning ‘stealer of hearts” . . .

	*Francis Brabazon – Poet of the Silent Word, a modern Hafiz* by Ross Keating “Francis Brabazon (1907-1984) was one of Meher Baba’s resident mandali who lived with Him from 1959-1969. Besides being a mandali he was also Baba’s poet. After first meeting Baba in 1952 he experienced the beginning of what he called “a true creativity.” His greatest work, Stay with God, was commissioned and given the title by Baba in 1955. In this monumental work, Francis revitalises the ancient role of art for this Avataric Age and presents Baba as the ultimate “Living Perfection of Art.” Baba introduced Francis to the Persian/Indian ghazal and guided him in the creation of a new poetic form, the English ghazal. Baba enjoyed these ghazals so much He called Francis His “modern Hafiz.” The research for this book comes from the author’s recollections of his times spent with Francis, interviews with those who knew him, as well as from Francis’s archives.” – Ross Keating Read Book
	The Gift of God “Avatar Meher Baba inwardly prompted Arnavaz Dadachanji to write about her life with Him some twenty years after He had dropped His body.

In her words, “knowledge flowered as love did, straight from the heart.”- Deborah Mann Smith and Nancy B. Wall Read Book

	In Dust I Sing by Francis Brabazon From the back cover – The eternal Beloved, Avatar Meher Baba, over the years I was with him at Meherazad gave me the shape and content of these poems. The form is based on the Persian ghazal, perfected by Hafiz 600 years ago and carried down in the Urdu language to the present day. The content is the relationship between the Lover and the Beloved – a relationship that is never wholly fulfilled until the Lover ceases to exist in himself and passes away in the Beloved. This relationship has its root in the very nature of God, which is love. As Baba has explained it: God is Love. And Love must love. And to love there must be a Beloved. But since God is Existence infinite and eternal there is no one for Him to love but Himself. And in order to love Himself He must imagine Himself as the Beloved whom He as the Lover imagines He loves. Read Book

	Intimate Times with Meher Baba by Bal Natu How is it that Bal Natu has written another book about Meher Baba almost twenty years after he died?

These notebooks were scanned and transcribed by some of those working with Bal in the 1990s.

	Just to Love Him by Adi K. Irani “This book is a collection of talks and writings by Adi K. Irani, one of Meher Baba’s first mandali members, and His secretary from 1944 onward…[it is] is a result of the gift that Baba gave to Adi – his conviction that Meher Baba is the Avatar of the Age and his ability to communicate that conviction to others. The words in these pages are born out of that conviction and the life that Avatar Meher Baba molded in His love and service. Meher Baba has said that God’s Love is a gift from God to man. So this book, containing Adi’s expressions of the love he received from Meher Baba, is a gift of Divine Love from Avatar Meher Baba to our hearts.” – Jack Small Read Book

	Letters from the mandali of Avatar Meher Baba – Vol. 1 compiled by Jim Mistry Behind the well-documented areas of Meher Baba’s life and the great phases of His work is a vast treasure of correspondence between Him and His followers. Written by seven close disciples (mandali) and containing varying degrees of Baba’s active participation, the letters appearing in this collection date from the 1950s to theearly 1980s, the period during which correspondence between Meher Baba and His followers became increasingly important. A fair number of these letters were written during periods of Baba’s seclusion and show how He maintained outer communication with His lovers while nurturing them to depend upon that which lies within. Other letters–written by the mandali on their own after January 31, 1969–address spiritual issues along guidelines derived from direct experience of Baba’s own way of handling similar situations.

	Mehera Compiled by Janet Judson with the assistance of Shelley Marrich Compiled from talks and original tape recordings of Mehera J. Irani. Dust jacket notes: “Whenever God comes on earth as Man – as Ram, for example, or as Krishna, as Jesus, or in this time as Meher Baba – it is always the case that one person among His close ones plays a special role as His most important disciple. This is the role of the ‘Divine Counterpart’, the ‘Beloved’ of the Divine Beloved, whose love for Him is unique in its purity and its one-pointedness. This is the role of Sita, of Radha, of Mary – and this time, of Mehera. Mehera Baba has declared that this long heralded and much-expected Advent, The Kalki Avatar for Hindus, the Maitreiya Buddha for Buddhists, the Second Coming for Christians, is the last Divine Incarnation in this cycle of cycles. As such, Meher Baba has indicated that His Manifestation on earth will accordingly be the greatest in its scope and impact. Perhaps one of the first signs of the special significance of this Advent can be found in the most exquisite beauty of Mehera’s life with Baba and in the opportunity which He has given His lovers to partake of the inspiration of that life. For in her role as the divine companion to the God-Man, Mehera has become a divine reflection of Him, providing a glimpse of what true love can be through her example and her stories of her life with Him. This book, then, provides a glimpse of Mehera, and through her, of Love, Itself, personified in the form of Perfect Man, who in this age is known as Meher Baba.” Read Book \| Part 1 \| Part 2 \| Part 3

It fills man with immortal sweetness and unbounded joy. Through His love all became resurrected…” Read Book
	*Memoirs of a Zetetic – My Life with Meher Baba* by Amiya Kumar Hazra “From these memoirs one concludes that small men with small minds have large egos. The mind can be as destructive as a host of locusts when they descend on a garden. In their ignorance, the zetetics resist His knowledge; in their helplessness they defy His power; in their blindness they defy His light. If they could only be free of the inhibiting and corroding influence of their intellectual wisdom, their hearts would open up to the flow of His grace. The sun of His love always shines whether we bask in its rays or shun it. Meher Baba’s love will always remain beyond the domain of intellectual understanding as anything comprehensible can never touch the fringe of Reality. Kabir says, “That body which has life but no love, I take as a corpse. Like the smithy’s bellows, it breathes but does not live.” It is impossible to learn God, but one can earn Him by loving Him as He should be loved. With Baba’s love and grace, Amiya Kumar has a conviction that Baba is God, a conviction that is strong, unassailable, unchallengeable.” – Dr. H. P. Bharucha Read Book

The huge crowds witnessed at the Meherabad Hill on his Birthdays and on the Amartithi Day bear ample testimony to the fact the Silent Master’s message has reached every corner of the earth: For here you see thousands of people both from India and abroad, who had not had His physical darshan, singing the glory of Meher Baba day in and day out.

Avatar Meher Baba said that whatever he has declared about the breaking of His Silence and the events that will follow it, will take place exactly as He said, except the time factor. A glimpse of the events that are anticipated before and after the breaking of His Silence are briefly described below, in the light of the utterances of Avatar Meher Baba. Although the physical link was snapped on 31st Jan. 1969, Avatar Meher Baba’s Work continues in Silence as before. The period from 31st Jan. ’69 onwards is a period of humiliation. The humiliation will end when He breaks His Silence. The breaking of His Silence, the uttering of the WORD of words, and His Public Manifestation are yet to take place. When on the one hand Science reaches its highest level and on the other hand anti-God elements rise to the peak, He will break His Silence and utter the WORD, releasing infinite wisdom and causing a Universal spiritual upheaval. – V. Sita Ramayya Read Book
	The Silent Revelations of Meher Baba Compiled and Edited in Love by Alexander Markey “The formal set of “teachings” of Meher Baba are called the Discourses, and they number around 70, and in their present edition (Sheriar Press) they run to about 375 pages. In 1944, Alexander Markey, a Hollywood screenwriter and follower of Meher Baba, with Meher Baba’s permission, edited and published a version of the Discourses that numbered 27 and the total was approximately 65 pages in length. In their original 1944 publication, they were referred to as “excerpts” of the Discourses, but they are much more than that. What Markey had done was to reorganize, rearrange, and very frequently rewrite the material of the Discourses, so that in those “Silent Teachings” we find a condensed, very accessible, and accurate presentation of the original material from Meher Baba. Not that they are a substitute for reading the full version of the Discourses, but they are an excellent introduction to the material as well as the essential gist of what Meher Baba communicated in his silence of the last 44 years of his life on earth as the long-awaited Avatar.” -Ken Lux Read Book

	Sparks of the Truth From Dissertations of Meher Baba by C.D. Deshmukh Twenty powerful dissertations on the spiritual path, the nature of the soul and the meaning of life. Pointed and pithy, these messages in many ways shake up some frequently held misconceptions about the spiritual life. While in good part based on diary records from the 1920s, it should be underscored that the essays in Sparks are emphatically not edits and rewrites of discourses that Baba gave at an earlier time. In each essay Deshmukh has identified his own theme and subject and has selected material from diverse and widely separated sources to fill out his exposition, writing up the selected content in his own prose.

	Stay With God by Francis Brabazon Stay With God (1959) is a lucid exposition of the Advent on earth, in our time, of the God-Man and of this living embodiment of Godhood as the Salvation of Mankind from its state of permanent anxiety and threatened annihilation. This God-Man is not seen as the Son of a Father, but as the very Self of each one of us and therefore, easily knowable to anyone directly, without an intermediary. In the creative process of perceiving the meaning of the God-Man, the author examines the values of Mankind, both Eastern and Western, past and present, as represented in Art and Literature. His language, arising directly from the urgency of his message and the clarity of his vision, avoids rigid crystallizations, by which modern poetry is immobilized and essence and vitality excluded.

I find in his poems the ecstasy of the mystic, the vision of the seer, the passion of the prophet, the sureness of the craftsman.

When I read a book by Malcolm Schloss I can say truly, ‘Here are breathings of the Infinite!’ and my spirit is grateful.” – Angela Morgan Read Book

Donkin describes it as “a kind of epilogue” to his book The Wayfarers, which chronicles Baba’s extensive contact with masts or God-intoxicated souls. The present work thus begins approximately one week after The Wayfarers ends, on 15th March 1948, and covers up to 14th May 1948. One passage captures the sweet expression of love shown by a child to his Father: “[Vishnu Datt Digambar] is a very high type; and Baba said of him that he was three in one—a mast, a saint, and a child; and that and he was one of the best contacted in Uttar Kashi…He was very happy to contact Baba and made gestures of ‘flying kisses’ towards him.
