Ramjoo’s Diaries
by Ramjoo Abdulla
Hardcover, $35

This intimate firsthand account tells the incredible tale of the first seven years of Meher Baba’s Avataric mission. Kept at Baba’s direct order, this journal is of incomparable value, both as an authoritative record of this period, and as a moving story of spiritual growth and training under the Avatar of the Age. As Baba’s story, it represents what historians call a “prime source,” with hundreds of early discourses, incidents and anecdotes. It covers Baba’s drawing of His first disciples to Him, their intensive training in the Manzil-e-Meem, and the establishment of Baba’s permanent seat near Arangaon. It also includes the long out-of-print Sobs and Throbs, a full account of the Meher Ashram, Baba’s unique spiritual school for boys, supplemented by the fascinating life stories of some of these boys. This hardbound book has been out of print for years, but we managed to find a very few in India. Get it while you still can. It also contains the famous "Sobs and Throbs" story of the Prem Ashram days.
