GREAT NEWS - 4 brand new books "He Gives the Ocean" by Najoo Savak Kotwal - 396 pp. Price £9.50 The story of the Savak Kotwal family depicts in a very touching way the true human side of the God-Man in all His perfection. Savak and his wife Nergiz surrendered totally to Baba, who transformed their worldly lives into lives well lived for God. Some of the words Beloved Baba said to them are worth deep consideration. Najoo was one of a few Baba lovers who spent much of her childhood growing up at Meherabad along with her sister Hilla. Her recollections of those early days in the ashram (from 1940) give a unique and intimate perspective of life with the God-Man.

Even though she graduated cum laude from Harvard, with majors in architecture and philosophy, she struggled to accept her role as a woman. Eventually, Phyllis and her third husband, noted artist Lynfield Ott, forged their path to the feet of the renowned spiritual master, Meher Baba. Phyllis, Lyn and their family became the only people to reside at the Meher Spiritual Centre in Myrtle Beach , South Carolina . Phyllis and Lynn collaborated in the magnificent paintings that adorn the old Pilgrim Centre at Meherabad.

In these discourses Meher Baba shows the way towards direct work on oneself, points out the pitfalls on the spiritual path and provides means for a better understanding of the inner conditions that are indispensable on the pathway to God-realization. "The Real Treasure" by Rustom Falahati - 116 pp. Pub. 2006. Price £3.50 Rustom, a professional marine engineer, quit his job for the sake of an opportunity to live and work with Avatar Meher Baba's Mandali; which he did for nearly 11 years, from 1989 - 2000. When asked, what did he learn or get by working with the Mandali? He would quote the Mandali and say, "Work is only an excuse that Baba uses to work upon your ego. That is the real work".
