Topic: Guest Speaker Alisa Genovese

Dear folks of Baba,

Tonight we have as our guest, Alisa Genovese, who came to Baba when she was just 19 years old back in the 1970s. Given her background, she could have gone many different ways in her life, and the way that unfolded for her was a lifelong dedication to Baba. She was married to Robert Dreyfus who had the great good fortune of meeting Baba in the mid-1960s, and over the years she spent many intimate times with Baba’s mandali. She has beautiful stories to tell of those experiences.

In here career as a therapist, Alisa has seen many of the problems and challenges facing that keep us from a deeper intimacy with Baba and with each other. She has a wealth of insight into the human condition today, so don’t hesitate to ask her questions. She is currently working on a project in conjunction with the Heartland Center in Prague, OK to acquire and memorialize the sacred sites related to Baba’s 1952 accident and recuperation.

Alisa is a resident of Asheville, NC, a city that was heavily hit recently by Hurricane Helene, and she witnessed the profound cooperation among people of different backgrounds and political stripes who came together to help people in their supreme need and stress during this severe tragedy.

As I mentioned earlier, Alisa is open to questions on a wide range of topics and is happy to encourage discussion. One topic she has shared that might be especially pertinent is how we can make our relationship with Baba more personal: cultivating His companionship. And also, how we can be more receptive to intuition, our intimate way of communicating directly with Baba. Come with questions and answers; she is a great source of insight into the dynamics of the inner life with Baba.

In His love, Jeff and Goher

Topic: Special Guest Speaker, Farshid Namiranian.

Dear Folks of Baba,

Our speaker next Sunday is Farshid Namiranian, and hereunder is his bio.

Farshid Namiranian was born in Yazd, Iran, in a family dedicated to Meher Baba. Many of his elder relatives and family members met Meher Baba going back to the mid-1920s. His two paternal uncles were in Baba’s Ashram. He grew up with several Prem Ashram boys, who later returned to Iran to live their adult years.

Farshid had the special honor to translate for these special souls who spent precious time with Baba as teenagers at Meherabad. He has written their life stories. He now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and is the husband of Marjan, who is deeply devoted to Baba, and he is the father of two sons who have grown up coming frequently to the Center and taking part in its many activities.

We look forward to hearing his wonderful stories of time spent with all those fortunate souls from Iran, who were students at Baba's Prem Ashram in the 1920's at Meherabad, like Esfandiar Vesali and his own relatives.

In Baba's Love & Service,

Jeff & Goher

Topic: Special Guest Speaker: Vanessa Weichberger

Dear Folks of Baba,

Our guest speaker this week is Vanessa Weichberger. Hereunder is her bio.

Vanessa Weichberger was born in the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains outside of Los Angeles, very near where the first L.A. Sahavas took place. At age 10 her family moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico where they met Darwin Shaw’s daughter Leatrice Johnston who facilitated regular Baba meetings. Baba has always been central in her life from an early age.

Vanessa is a fine artist specializing in portraits of Meher Baba. Vanessa raised her family in Myrtle Beach to be near the Meher Spiritual Center, and she is a mother of three boys, and one adopted daughter, plus two step-children (six total). She takes joy in supporting the youth, and new Baba-lovers, with the love that was modeled by Meher Baba’s mandali. She lives in Charleston, SC with her husband Laurent Weichberger, their youngest child Francis, and daughter Margi. She is full of enthusiasm in her life with Baba.

We look forward to her sharing with great enthusiasm.

In His Love & Service,

Jeff & Goher

Special Guest Speaker, JASMINE PATEL.

Dear folks of Baba,

Our guest speaker for this Sunday, Oct. 20th is Jasmine Patel. Hereunder is her bio.

Jasmine Patel grew up in a Baba family. Her grandfather and mother both met Meher Baba on several occasions. Baba’s mother Shireen and Jasmine’s great, great, great grandmother Gulnar were first cousins. Jasmine’s mother is named Gulnar after her great, great grandmother. Her grandfather Boman grew up in Pune playing with Baba’s brother Jal and Padri, Mehera’s cousin and one of the lifelong disciples of Baba. He would describe going to Zoroastrian gatherings in the 1920s in which Baba and the mandali would show up. It is hard to imagine the informality of the early years with Baba!

Jasmine started coming to Meher Spiritual Center as a child, got involved in the youth sahavas, and in the last 2 years has co-hosted the “not so youth sahavas” for parents who attended the youth sahavas and now have children attending the youth sahavas. Jasmine will be sharing the story of her great grandmother Gulcher and her relationship with Meher Baba. Get ready for some laughs and see how the story comes full circle.

Looking forward to our chat on Sunday.

In Baba's Love & Service,

Goher
