Description

Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. 303, [1] p. Minor stains on DJ and some pages. Otherwise a clean and very good copy. This is the first critical depth study of Meher Baba (1894-1969) to appear since his death in 1969. The author's approach is not sectarian, and throws new light upon events relating to the Iranian mystic. Part One gives a biographical overview. Part Two describes Meher Baba's teaching. Part Three affords a comparison with the Zoroastrian Kaivan school of the Mughal era. Part Four profiles critics and supporters of Meher Baba, and locates obscured data contradicting the well known dismissal by Paul Brunton. An annotated bibliography is also supplied. Meher Baba (Merwan Sheriar Irani; The Awakener), was an Indian spiritual master who claimed to be his era's Avatar, or God in human form. A major spiritual figure of the 20th century, he was the central figure around the "Meher Baba Movement", and estimates of his following range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions. His followers were concentrated in India, but with a significant number in the United States, Europe and Australia.
