Meher Baba at Myrtle Beach in 1952 with Delia de Leon and Mehera J. Irani, Baba's Chief Woman Disciple The Meher Baba Podcasts

    • Religion & Spirituality

Meher Baba had once warned that an accident would befall him, but no one had given it serious thought. On this fateful day he told those of us in the second car, again and again, to keep 
up with the first car and not to get lost. . . When on May 24 [1952], we reached Oklahoma — in the heart of America — our car was late for the rendezvous and we were getting anxious. 
Suddenly we we came upon a group of people on a grassy bank and saw Baba and the women lying there . . .
 
Horrified we rushed to the spot and I recall so vividly the extraordinary expression on Baba's face — his eyes not seeing the immediate, but far away. 
He said nothing, did nothing but let everything be done to him. He had once said that he would shed blood on American soil and here, 
from his head injury, he was bleeding freely on the ground. I had with me a little pillow and I gave it to put under Baba's head and so it became stained with blood.
 
Pete Townshend interviewed Delia de Leon in 1976 at the Meher Baba Oceanic in London on Meher Baba's Accident in 1952.
