Meher Baba's 1st Visit to the West

 

5th December 1931 - Stoke's home, Greenwich Village, New York 

 

The group arrived at the Stokes residence in Greenwich Village around noon. Although Baba had previously indicated that he did not wish to see anyone, he changed his mind and met about 25 people, several for the first time in New York. Among them were Elliot and Elizabeth Holt.  After their interview, Chanji found Elliot gazing out the window up at the sky, exclaiming, "My God, that I should have met such a man!"

 

Elizabeth Patterson and Nadine Tolstoy saw Baba that day at the Stokeses', as did the widow of the banker Adolph Ladenburg, Baroness von Miltitz, Dr. James H. Cousins and his wife Margaret, Dorothy Norris, Countess Castelli, the artist A. Garfield Learned and Charles and Virginia Crocker.
