Return from Meherabad

It has now been several days since I returned from Meherabad, where I spent ten days. Meherabad is the site of Meher Baba's second ashram, and the location of his Samadhi, or tomb. This tomb was prepared by him long before his death, and he often secluded himself within the building to do internal work.

I had been here in 1969, at the time of the "Great Darshan," shortly after Meher Baba "dropped his body." It had been a powerful experience for me then, that I may write about later, culminating with my getting very ill with gastroenteritis and amoebic dysentery. So it was with some trepidation that I took this frail body of mine back there now.

Sure enough, I did a little purging, but in general I had a great time and met wonderful people. I hope to give a little run down on these things presently.
