In September, 1954, twenty Western men had the unique opportunity to spend three weeks in the company of Avatar Meher Baba.
It was a chance to participate in the Master's daily life of service to mankind - His mass darshan programs when over 15,000 people came to receive His blessing; to share in His work with the poor, the lepers, and depressed classes; to hear His inimitable spiritual discourses; to be His intimate companion on a day-to-day basis; to receive His personal attention, love and guidance in their own lives.
At Meher Baba's behest, a diary of these "three incredible weeks" was kept by two devotees, Malcolm Schloss, mystic poet, and Charles B. Purdom, noted English editor and writer. First published in the pages of The Awakener Magazine, the diary is reprinted here in its entirety together with reminiscenses of other devotees who attended. This intimate glimpse of how a genuine Master works will inspire anyone struggling to match up spiritual understanding with daily life.
