Meher baba from Pune

January 31, 2008 posted by indiatime |

Meher Baba of Pune, a spiritual guru to many in India and the west, died this day about 40 years ago. At the age of 34, Meher Baba took a vow of silence and never spoke again in his entire life. He communicated using an alphabet chart which was interpreted by his disciples or someone sitting next to him.

Here is a 1932 video of Avtar Meher Baba communicating in his unique style. In the video, he is interviewd by Charles Purdom, his biographer and disciple.
