The Meher Baba Centre

Avatar Meher Baba was born in Poona [Pune] India in 1894.
His mission as Avatar, the Hindu word for Godman, started in 1921 and developed as a practical example of his principle message of love. He worked with disciples in India, Europe, America, and Australia, and the poor of India, through free schools, dispensaries and shelters. His life was devoted not to teaching, but to awakening humanity to the unifying messages of love and truth given by the great messengers of the past. For this reason, Meher Baba observed silence for nearly 44 years, commencing in 1925 and lasting until His death in 1969.
The UK Baba Group was started in 1931, the year Meher Baba visited England for the first time. The Meher Baba Association became a registered charity in 1972 and moved the Centre to its present location, Hammersmith, in 1985. Here regular meetings are held and many interesting talks, discussions, concerts and celebrations have taken place.
