DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

WHEN MASTERS VISIT EACH OTHER

1st April 1928

On 25th March , the Prem Ashram was formally established on Meherabad Hill.

Later on 1st April, Baba was seen walking bare footed about Meherabad Hill, which surprised many at 8:15am that morning.  At 11:30am, Hazrat Babajan arrived at Meherabad by car. The car stopped in front of the girl's school bearing her name. This was a remarkable event, she had not left Poona for many decades, since she first moved there. She had indicated a week earlier saying that she wanted to go "to my child's place".

Baba was notified of her arrival, and he walked barefoot down the hill and stopped at the railway tracks about 50 yards / metres from Babajan who was standing on the opposite side. Baba directed all to take her darshan and she was given refreshments, but the two Masters neither talked or had physical contact. She then departed back to Poona.

Baba remarked, "Today is the most eventful and significant day of my life !"

The next day, 2nd April, Baba went by car to Poona with some of the mandali to pay a return visit to Babajan, who was now seated in the Bund Gardens. Baba stood on the opposite side of the river, while his mandali crossed the bridge and took her darshan. They mandali then came back to Baba and the returned to Meherabad. Both Masters had a visual on each other during this event.

8th May 1928

On the 8th May, Babajan again arrived in Meherabad by car, on the same day, Baba had gone to Poona by car. She was welcomed and greeted by many, but then returned to Poona. It seems that both cars passed each other on the road both ways.

Baba remarked later, "It has now become imperative after the *'Old Man's’ visit".

** Meher Baba often referred to Babajan as the ‘Old Man’

5th October 1928

 On the return trip on the 5th October, Baba stopped at Nusserwan Satha's home - Akbar Press so he could rest, while the Mandali had their meal. Baba came onto the verandah by himself, again, Babajan arrived in her car, which stopped opposite and they exchanged glances, moments later, Babajan's car drove off. When asked what was the significance of this 2nd meeting, Baba replied, "Babajan met me today for the 2nd time. It means that I am now free !"
