"Growing Up with Meher Baba" - Goher Kharas Mobed

Meher Mount

Goher (Kharas) Mobed shares her own and her family's stories of being with Meher Baba. Goher's father, Minoo Kharas, was one of Avatar Meher Baba's (mandali) close disciples.

Having attained his life’s goal of finding God in human form, loving and serving Him was the central event in Minoo’s life.
— Goher Mobed

Minoo’s life was wholly and solely devoted to Meher Baba, and his devotion left an indelible impression on his children. Goher had the rare privilege of a childhood filled with stories, experiences and teachings of Meher Baba.

Goher shared her memories at the 2024 Anniversary Sahavas commemorating Meher Baba’s visit to Meher Mount on August 2, 1956.

Take a moment now to watch Goher’s video and hear her stories and be inspired.

Minocher Kharas, known as Minoo, was one of Avatar Meher Baba’s close disciples. After meeting Meher Baba, Minoo kept a diary of his life. He jotted down every aspect of his spiritual life — his strengths and his weaknesses.

His diaries tell the compelling story of Minoo’s colorful life and his lessons in discipleship with Meher Baba.

All his life, Minoo felt driven to seek God in human form. His frustrating search for God led him finally to Avatar Meher Baba, who was staying in Nasik, India, where Minoo was attending Police Training School.

At the moment of meeting Meher Baba, on January 17, 1932, when Minoo was 22 years old, he knew his search for God had ended.

Here was God in human form. "Having attained his life’s goal of finding God in human form, loving and serving him was the central event in Minoo’s life," said Goher Mobed in the introduction to The God-Seeker.
