Baba Photos

Hold Meher Baba's divine image through the years in your heart.

Year:
ā€œA time will come when my photograph will be taken every day, in great numbers, in different poses. Photos of me will be sold everywhere. They will appear in newspapers of different languages of the world, in books and magazines, at residences, businesses, religious places, government and private offices. Wherever your eyes look, my photos will be seen — on lockets tied around necks, on coat buttons, on rings showing my face, small and big enlargements of my photos will adorn the walls, life-size oil paintings of me, also. Over and above that, my image will be seen on the cinema screen — sitting, standing, sleeping — in all postures; smaller than the smallest channa dana [pea size] and bigger than life-size. There will be no end to my photos.ā€
