Introduction

The recordings in this Collection were donated by the Meher Baba Center of Northern California. The MBCNC is located at El Cerrito, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. The recordings were made from March 1970 to May 1998, a span of over 28 years. The talks feature 51 different speakers and, with 2 or 3 exceptions, by those who physically met Meher Baba. The recordings are arranged alphabetically (A - Z) by the speaker’s first name. For example, the first listed recording is from “Adele Wolkin” and the last listing is “Ursula Van Buskirk”.

The talks given over the years in Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito–in the San Francisco Bay Area–and a few other places, are mostly “How I Came to Baba” talks; they are autobiographical accounts charged with great significance to the speakers. They have a natural attraction in that they convey enthusiasm, delight, earnestness, and self-discovery. The talks can be very moving. One example is Eleanor Smith’s recounting her life changing experience of meeting and being with Baba. She was Lud Dimpfl’s sister and she met Baba in 1956 in San Francisco and again in 1958 at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A few of the talks in the collection were recorded at Meherazad and Meherabad, India.

The deep love and devotion evidenced by these speakers bears witness to the heart touching quality of the talks. You will enjoy many remarkable hours listening to these speakers as they each tell their own stories of how they came into the love orbit of Meher Baba, the Avatar of the Age.

Notes: Please note that dates are displayed in conventional USA format, i.e. month-day-year. For example, 09-01-78 = September 1, 1978.
