Introduction

The AVATAR COLLECTION is a truly amazing treasury of talks that is now yours for the taking - listening, reading along and downloading. We invite you to explore the AVATAR COLLECTION at your leisure. In the approximately 340 entries in this collection, you will find talks by many women and men Mandali and close ones, including: Mehera, Mani, Elizabeth, Kitty, Rano, Arnavaz, Adi, Mansari, Pukar, Kumar, Eruch, Bal Natu and many, many others. Recording were made at Mandali Hall, at Meherabad, on walking tours with Eruch, at Hardiwar, at Oceanic and Delia DeLeon’s apartment in London, and at other locations. Interviewers include Dara Irani, Peter Townsend and Brad Gunn and contain original material from the early 1970s through the late 1990s. Keith has written transcriptions of many of these talks and these transcriptions can become an invaluable aid in helping put the listener into Mandali Hall, or whatever location, at the very moment the person is speaking. As an aid to explore the talks, key words (as available) are listed for each talk under the Contents

column. To access the transcriptions, simply click on the “TEXT” button under the Transcript column to the far right of each Audio file. A pdf file will then open that you can read while listening. Keith’s painstaking transcriptions of the contents of so many talks capture the details of a speaker’s presentation and enables the listener to follow the talk more closely and with increased comprehension. In some cases, a given talk has been transcribed verbatim, yielding special enjoyment for the listener. In other cases, the transcription consists of a detailed list of major topics for that talk. Some talks have only minimal or no additional information — if you would like to volunteer to transcribe those talks please let us know as we would be very grateful for your participation. Along with us, we know that you will deeply appreciate Keith Gunn’s generosity in making these first hand audio tapes available by donating his collection to Mandali Hall Talks.
