The emphasis throughout the series will be on Meher Baba’s lifelong mission of bringing his own personal vision of spiritual beauty into the world. Many people in the Meher Baba community are familiar with the details of Meher Baba’s life as told by those who knew and loved him as their spiritual master. But how do academics and religious scholars understand Meher Baba? How would their telling of Meher Baba’s life story differ from the narratives that we know?
