"I want Agnes to have a special memento of this day." - Avatar Meher Baba

Your Friday photo is honor of Meher Baba’s 1956 visit to Meher Mount…


When Meher Baba was at Meher Mount, He spent much of the day in the Baba Room with His followers.

On one occasion, remembered co-founder and caretaker Agnes Baron, “He was sitting in that chair and He called, ‘Charmian! Charmian!’” [silently through gestures]

Charmian Duce (later, Knowles) was filming Meher Baba’s 1956 trip in the US, and she was in the room.

Meher Baba said to Charmian, “You have a camera with you?”

She replied, “Yes.”  

“I want Agnes to have a special memento of this day. You take a picture,” He said.

“So, I came and knelt down by His side,” Agnes explained. “And Charmian took two good colored pictures which I cherish very much now.

“He was doing these fantastic, these really wonderful…these personal little gestures, that, you know, that He always does to make one person particularly happy,” said Agnes.
