"I want Agni to know that I love Meher Mount very, very much." - Avatar Meher Baba
Meher Mount
Your Friday photo celebrates the 68th anniversary of Meher Baba’s visit to Meher Mount on August 2, 1956…
“I want Agni to know that I love Meher Mount very, very much.”
Agnes Baron, Meher Mount co-founder, describes one of her interactions with Avatar Meher Baba at Meher Mount in 1956:
So on one of the occasions when Meher Baba called me over, He was looking very solemn and very impressive as only Baba can look.
And He stood. And one of the mandali [close disciple who interpreted His gestures] was there.
And Baba said, “I want Agni to know that I love Meher Mount very, very much.” And then, of course, that typical gesture of “very, very much. I am very happy.”
And He really beamed, I mean, He just glowed.
He just gestured, “very, very happy.’’ And He looked it.
And then He said, “And I want her to know that Meher Mount has a very spiritual atmosphere.”
And of course, I made my usual wisecrack, I knew it wasn’t. He stared at me and repeated, “A very spiritual atmosphere.”
