Amrit and Dara Irani, recorded the following  in Los Angeles, 1995 ;

 

Dara, son of Meher Baba`s youngest brother Adi Jr., was born in Viloo Villa on December 24th, 1944, and spent his first 13 years in Ahmednagar, visiting with Baba on several occasions. He spent the next 15 years in England. During this period, Baba arranged Dara`s wedding with Amrit, which took place at Meherazad on December 23rd and 24th, 1968. Baba has blessed Dara and Amrit with two boys, Meherwan and Jamshed. Amrit grew up in Dehra Dun, near the foothills of the Himalayas. Her parents, Kumar and Subadhra, were close to Meher Baba--during His New Life--and she was fortunate to visit Baba, and His Mandali on several occasions while Baba was in Dehra Dun. Baba arranged Amrit`s marriage to Dara when she was 18. The engagement and wedding were held with great love--along with a birthday celebration for Mehera and a navjote ceremony for four children--in what became Meher Baba’s last public appearance. Dara and Amrit now live at Meherabad.
