Reseña del editor
The first critical depth study of Meher Baba (1894-1959) to appear since his death. Interpretations are here supplied that conflict with the cult version. The author's approach is not sectarian, and throws new light upon events relating to the Irani mystic who became celebrated as an avatar. The Irani background of Meher Baba is emphasized and given extra context; the subject was not a typical Indian guru. A biographical overview is included, along with a summary of the magnum opus that combines Vedantic and Sufi terminology. The well-known reports of Paul Brunton and Rom Landau are investigated. A richly annotated bibliography is supplied.

Dust jacket. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. 303, [1] p. Minor stains on DJ and some pages. Otherwise a clean and very good copy. This is the first critical depth study of Meher Baba (1894-1969) to appear since his death in 1969. The author's approach is not sectarian, and throws new light upon events relating to the Iranian mystic. Part One gives a biographical overview. Part Two describes Meher Baba's teaching. Part Three affords a comparison with the Zoroastrian Kaivan school of the Mughal era. Part Four profiles critics and supporters of Meher Baba, and locates obscured data contradicting the well known dismissal by Paul Brunton. An annotated bibliography is also supplied. Meher Baba (Merwan Sheriar Irani; The Awakener), was an Indian spiritual master who claimed to be his era's Avatar, or God in human form. A major spiritual figure of the 20th century, he was the central figure around the "Meher Baba Movement", and estimates of his following range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions. His followers were concentrated in India, but with a significant number in the United States, Europe and Australia. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 053879
