"Growing up with God" 800 pages, hardback, fully indexed, with 146 photos (half in colour). The Meher Baba Association is selling it for £27.00 + £7.00 for postage and packing (within the U.K.)
Sheela Kalchuri Fenster and her husband David's new book GROWING UP WITH GOD has just been published. Sheela's father, Bhau Kalchuri, joined Meher Baba as one of the mandali in 1953. Four years later, Baba called Sheela and her family to live in his near proximity. The Kalchuris had many opportunities to be in the Beloved's presence, and Sheela's first-person account paints a vivid, intimate portrait of life near Meher Baba, from the perspective of a child and teenager.
(There is also information about Bhauji before he joined Meher Baba.)
"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.

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.

"The Real Treasure" by
Rustom Falahati -

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". Rustom
was closely involved in the battle to close the chemical works
near Meherazad. A riveting read. (Tanya).
