The Silent Master
Merwan Sheriar Irani (1894-1969)
Avatar Meher Baba, born Merwan Sheriar Irani, was an Indian spiritual master who declared himself to be the Avatar (an incarnation of God) of the age. He maintained silence from 1925 until his death in 1969, communicating first through an alphabet board and later through unique hand gestures.
Meher Baba's teachings emphasize love, compassion, and the unity of all life. He taught that the purpose of life is to realize one's true nature as divine and that all paths ultimately lead to God.
His simple yet profound message "Don't worry, be happy" has touched millions of hearts worldwide. Baba worked tirelessly for the spiritual upliftment of humanity while maintaining complete silence for 44 years.
