Dr. Goher Irani was Meher Baba's personal physician. Her family met Baba in Ahmednagar at the time of Rustom Irani's wedding in May 1923, and in June 1923 Baba stayed with them in Quetta. During that visit Baba played with all of Rusi's children but was most attentive to Goher and her sister Katie. While playing carrom with Baba, little Goher (Lord Meher gives her age as seven) boldly complained, 'Baba, you're cheating! Play fairly,' which made the Master laugh.

A pivotal moment came during Baba's 1931 visit to Quetta when He entered Goher's room at 4:00 A.M. and pulled her blanket. When she felt cold, Baba told her: 'You feel cold now, but I have come on earth to give the warmth of God's love. Once you completely possess that love, you will never feel cold!' This prophecy would find fulfillment in her lifelong service.

Goher studied medicine in Bombay, staying with the Dadachanji family and spending her vacations with Baba. In 1944, at twenty-eight, she finished medical school and longed to be with Baba, but her mother wept at the thought of another daughter leaving home. Baba asked her, 'Don't you want to be with Me?' She answered: 'There is no other joy in my life than to be with you. I want to stay with you more than anything else!' Baba kept her with Him for a time and then sent her to gain experience in a Bombay hospital; she joined the ashram permanently on 19 June 1947.

In October 1949, Goher was one of only four women chosen to accompany Baba in His historic New Life, a wandering phase of complete renunciation that tested the limits of human endurance and surrender. In 1952, she accompanied Baba on His Western trip to America, keeping a brief diary of their journey.

As Baba's personal physician, Goher faced unique challenges. In 1948, Baba assigned her to keep and breed ducks. Once, while Baba was explaining sublime spiritual points for God Speaks, Goher burst in to say the duck feed was finished. Baba exclaimed, 'How did you ever become a doctor? Your brain is filled with sawdust! From the seventh plane, you've brought us down to ducks!' Later He repeated the scene word for word for the other women's amusement.

In 1959, Baba insisted that Goher remove a stitch that had been left buried under Roshan Kerawala's skin then and there rather than in a hospital. When she hesitated, Baba said: 'Don't be afraid; just keep looking at My photograph and that will steady your nerves.' Remarkably, Roshan felt no pain at all.

As Baba's physical suffering intensified in His later years, Goher wrote in a 1966 letter: 'We doctors, too, sometimes feel so silly and helpless when we just stand in front of him and watch him suffer but are incapable of removing the pain. Baba has been telling us that the pain in his neck will continue to persist as long as he wants it to.'

Goher was one of the six women who remained with Baba at Meherazad until the end, along with Mehera, Mani, Naja, Meheru, and Rano. After Baba dropped His body, she continued serving at Meherazad, welcoming pilgrims and sharing stories of life with the Beloved. She passed away on June 30, 2004, at age 87, and her ashes were interred on Meherabad Hill near Baba's Samadhi.
