JIMMY KHAN

Jimmy Khan first met Avatar Meher Baba with his family in the summer of 1962 at Guruprasad in Pune, India. Thereafter, the family stayed in Pune (then Poona) in subsequent summers for about two months each visit.

Jimmy was fortunate to spend five minutes alone with Meher Baba, translate Meher Baba’s gesture, “I am God,” and play the card game La Risque with the Beloved.

He also attended the 1962 East-West Gathering and the 1965 Sahavas. Jimmy estimates that he saw or met Meher Baba more than 100 times.

During all those visits, he listened to Meher Baba’s discourses and heard talks by Meher Baba’s mandali and others who were close to Baba.

After Meher Baba dropped His physical form on January 31, 1969, Jimmy was among the handful of people who stayed on Meherabad Hill, near Meher Baba’s Tomb Shrine, all seven days before Meher Baba’s body was entombed.

In 2007, Jimmy gave approximately 30 talks across the U.S. along with talks in London and Sydney.

Most recently, he has started sponsoring public trips to Meherabad and Meherazad, India, announcing them by placing advertisements in Mumbai (Bombay) newspapers. A few hundred people have come on the trips to date.

Jimmy says that he does not claim to take people to Meher Baba as only He alone can do that. Jimmy calls himself a “facilitator.”
