“Feeing so blessed as Baba’s guest” are lyrics from “Oh Meher Mount,” an ode to Meher Mount written and performed by Mark Trichka and Lisa Brande. The drone photography by Ben Hoffman captures the beauty and openness of Meher Mount to complement the music and create this special video.

“When God manifests on earth in the form of man and reveals His Divinity to mankind, He is recognized as the Avatar — the Messiah — the Prophet.
“The Avatar is always One and the Same, because God is always One and the Same, the Eternal, Indivisible, Infinite One…the Highest of the High.”

Irani, Meher Baba’s sister and close disciple. “While Baba was having breakfast, we always began with ‘There’s a Heartache Following Me.’’”
“’It [‘Heartache’] was always the first record played, then others [such as ‘Take My Hand Precious Lord’] were played, then ending again with ‘Heartache’,” Mani explained.
