A vast and diversified religious movement originating from Sai Baba of Shirdi, is often referred to as "the Sai Baba movement." Through the chronological presentation of Sai Baba's life, light is shed on the various ways in which the important guru figures in this movement came to be linked to the saint of Shirdi.
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.
Les Contes de la Vie nouvelle avec Meher Baba pr sentent une s rie d'entretiens qui permettent de retracer une histoire vraie. Le 16 octobre 1949, Meher Baba (1894-1969) a entam avec vingt compagnons ce qu'il a appel une Vie nouvelle faite d'un m lange de d semparement et d'inesp rance, et de joie et de bonne humeur permanente; le tout se reposant uniquement sur Dieu. Durant les mois pr c dant ce jour, il a mis fin toutes ses activit s pass es, puis a indiqu tous qu'il allait rompre ses liens avec ses disciples de l'Ancienne Vie. Ainsi, jusqu'en 1952, Meher Baba et ses compagnons ont err sans argent travers l'Inde, mendiant leur nourriture et logeant le plus souvent la belle toile.Les proches de Meher Baba ont toujours consid r cette p riode comme l'une des plus myst rieuses et pourtant fondamentale de sa vie, mais n'en avaient cependant qu'une connaissance tr s superficielle. C'est dans ce contexte que Don E. Stevens, un disciple occidental, a pris l'initiative de proc der des entretiens avec certains compagnons de la Vie nouvelle. The Beguine Library en a publi la transcription quelques ann es plus tard, sous la forme de l' dition originale anglaise du pr sent volume, Tales from the New Life with Meher Baba. La traduction fran aise a t r alis e par Jean Gousseff sous les auspices de l'Avatar Meher Baba Trust, et ce livre a t illustr par Heather Dawn Rotramel.
