SPIRITUAL FILMS: SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS


Programme

1.00 pm: Centre opens
2.00 pm: Film screening
We will be showing Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which Meher Baba watched on Sunday, 24 July 1938.

 

According to his biographical accounts in Lord Meher, Baba went to see the classic animated film accompanied by a group of the women mandali. After returning from the theatre, the movie's themes directly inspired their activities. The conversation turned towards the treatment of animals, leading Baba to suggest that one of his followers should establish an animal hospital at Meherabad.

The Meher Baba Centre Library – please read to facilitate your Centre visit

 

The Baba Library at 228 Hammersmith Grove is now up and running following a revamp and cataloguing.  These Library resources are available when the Centre is open each Monday from   2-7pm,  as well as for any notified meetings.

 

The Library is in three parts:

 

The Reference Library bookcase is in the Quiet Room.These books are for use only within the Centre and cannot be removed or borrowed. Please do replace the books on the same shelf after browsing! The bookcase is clearly labelled as Reference.

 

There is a Lending library bookcase in the Quiet room too, again clearly labelled. These books may be borrowed for up to 2 months after you have filled in the 'Signing out Book’ on the top shelf. It is necessary and your responsibility to register books being removed. Please also sign the books back in when returning them and place on the top shelf. If unsure about borrowing - just ask the host.

 

There is another small Lending library in the Basement. It is designed for people new to Meher Baba and for that purpose only. As with the upstairs Lending Library you are required to record books borrowed and returned, signing them out and in. The register is with the book selection. Please return the books to their box after borrowing. Please be considerate taking only one or two at a time, for two months maximum. Similar books are upstairs.  Again, if unsure about borrowing - just ask the host.

 

Use of the three Libraries is on a trust basis. If anyone happens to have library books that have not been signed out, please can you e.mail the information to mbaboard@yahoo.com who will inform the Librarian.  We would like to keep our records straight for all our borrowers.  Books already out for over 2 months should be returned soonest please.

 

People wanting to purchase books from the bookshop should contact Tanya Moller in the first instance, or the Board Member present at any Centre opening, and they will liaise with Tanya on your behalf.

 

MBA would love to hear from any other Baba Lending Libraries in the UK no matter how small, so we can work together and signpost people to their nearest source of Baba books. Contact mbaboard@yahoo.com with details you are willing to share.  Every Baba book is a gem and so many have come to Baba by reading His words or seeing His picture in a book, so let us work together to enable others to be reached through these precious resources.
