Kaikhushru Masa

Born in 1880, Kaikhushru was one of Meher Baba’s earliest and closest disciples. Peter Nordeen tells the poignant story of this spiritual seeker, taking us on a journey covering Kaikhushru’s early adulthood as a seeker of God; his meeting the five Perfect Masters of the time; surrendering himself and his wife, Soonamasi, and daughter, Khorshed, to his Master, Meher Baba; his terrible troubles with his family; and finally his death in 1931, dying in Meher Baba’s arms. Kaikhushru Masa's name is included on the Memorial Tower at Meherabad.

From Meher Baba's message at the foundation of this Memorial Tower: "The unshakable peace of Life in Eternity and the unfading glory of Conscious Divinity shall crown the souls which are represented by this Memorial Tower. They are eternally mine. I bless them all!"
