Meher Baba Interview 1932 Newsreel (religion, spirituality)

[Xiaolian7]

I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.

Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

What a waste of space, a silly barbarian from a primitive land lecturing the most advanced civilization in the history of man lol.

[colinthepianist]

@ImaginedWriter We might have a more advanced civilization in the ordinary sense of the word, but does that mean more spiritually advanced? Ask yourself this: How many people in America are truly happy and content with their lives? Most people experience a shallowness or emptiness in their lives, despite having many material comforts. That is what Meher Baba is about. Filling that emptiness. So what country is from shouldn't really make a difference. Also, he's not a "barbarian". Do research.

[spudmuffin99]

so he's a Commie

[PMnews1]

This is a crock of horse shit if I ever did see any! He can't speak so he points to a board? His fingers would have to be moving a lot faster than that if he was spelling out those words.

Interesting how this Indian guru has a Jewish nose!

[PinkertonStudsworth]

@PMnews1 Things that are important: the man's message. Things that are unimportant: the man's nose, how fast his fingers are moving, etc.

[ichbinkanadier]

His "meher" presence.

[onefoot7]

Always love this clip, since I was a young lad going to the Center, what a great thing Jesus came back as Baba, He is so good to us, even when we say bad things about Him. He has to be great to assess and handle Gracefully our weaknesses. Like when some of His childrenas seen here, act as ignorant bastards with no cojones.....that's the Compassionate One, and Thank God He is, whew!

[onefoot7]

It is with great joy when I find people who oppose Baba, and would never go to the Center. That way it stays small and quaint, and without the riff-raf. The less people the better, and the more room to be able to sing at His tomb in India, hehehehehee...so, let the nay-sayers say, cause it is all talk anyway, and meaningless...Baba may want you on the Center, but I sure don't miss ya...

[Wingedmagician]

Could not have been said better!

Beautiful!

[citronellus]

isn't he speaking anyway with that board?

[antonfjordson]

we like baba.

[birdman1741]

I love you meherbaba

[harimehar1]

Hi, friends. It might be surprising. This is nothing before crores of his natural deals, which sparks on every moment of his life. If one digs in books or net, thousands are found to each sould. Few collected with photo proofs and available in Lord Meher, a book of books, also find on the net.

[oclandestin]

Bizarre. But 5 stars for the newsreel. I'm guessing they already knew what he was planning to say so the pointing was just for the cameras.

[Offdrive3]

Yeah beautiful , He sweetly shakes my world alright. Religion tottering...oh yeah, bring it on. The One in the many and the many in the One will never be forsaken. Bless Him.

[ProfessorMystic]

I am a great fan of MB but there is no way that guy is translating all those words unless they are using a special shorthand that has been agreed, and he is an expert.... or else he is a psychic reading the guy's mind....:) Actually I always wished he would have kept speaking... his books are hard to understand, but I have been glad to use his prayers...

[timmer17]

well, there's been a few comments regarding the 'impossibility' of reading this message from the board. i don't have a definite explanation other than the fact that there were a few people who were adept at quickly reading Baba's alphabet board. (not sure if charles purdom was one of them, however.) another possibility is that Baba's message was prepared before hand, so that it was easy for mr. purdom to quickly translate.

[timmer17]

also, keep in mind that this interview was probably shot with only one camera, so the film co. most likely shot the interview using a master (2-shot), and then moved in for various close-ups where the action (and possibly dialogue) was repeated.

[rehanajana]

@ProfessorMystic meher baba has re incarnated and lives quietly in Germany known only to a few

[brib333]

Know wonder Pete followed him! His nose is bigger than his!

[kaitlynm2014]

he died on my moms birthday... spectacular man!

[314159265352]

Thanks for sharing beautiful video.

[ceruleanblue]

risforrationalism - why talk out of your arse like that. Good luck in your search for Truth.

Baba loves you too.

[risforrationalism]

He's like an Indian version of Charles Manson. The Eastern culture mystifies and brainwashes Westerners into thinking they should build a house for an Avatar in Myrtle Beach, SC.  People are way too desperate.

[timmer17]

manson!? sorry, but that's the most ridiculous comparison i've heard yet. the people who built a center for Meher Baba in Myrtle Beach did so out of love.

[risforrationalism]

yeah, maybe i went too far there. but plenty of evil things have been done out of love for a religious figure. this man advocated war and asked people to love him (never mentions loving each other) as the avatar. i'm tired of people looking for someone charismatic to tell them what to do. peace.

[jayjayfroggy]

Could not be more backwards in understanding Meher Baba. Indeed, finding and serving God within the hearts of ALL is core and central to his teachings, along with *I am NOT this body*. Advocated war? No. But he did point out the positives....the sacrifices of a solder for an ideal, even if that ideal is nationalism and not God.

[YTEdy]

@risforrationalism Just so we're clear. He advocated for war against Hiter. Is that really something you want to critisize the man for? The Pope did not take a stand against Hiter, and many people were critical of the pope. Bit of a darned if you do, darned if you don't situation. Personally, I think Baba was right and the Pope was wrong in that instance, but that's just my opinion.

[jsdhanoa007]

@timmer17 and also these great unique individuals have no reason to be in the body but they are still around out of their great compassion..and these idiots only understand brainwashing...

[roodeey]

Has anyone truly critically analyzed this clip- if you would it would be obvious that there is no way the speaking man, the interpreter, is reading the words that Baba is supposedly spelling one letter at a time with one finger off the alphabet board, the truth is they don't match up- nothing against Baba but in my total honest opinion the truth is this seems to be a dumb trick- the medium is the message

However Baba is probably the most easy going of any type"religion" certainly not a Manson

[CaptPorridge2]

It's a miracle!

[YTEdy]

@roodeey There are ways to explain it. Perhaps they practiced. If the interviewer knew which words were coming, Baba would only need to spell the first few letters of each word. They might have shot several takes and used the best one.

Also,

I can't believe you said that Baba is "not a Manson", that's such an over the top comparison, but you're right. Baba's easy going and personable

I don't think it's as important how the message was but what the message was, anyway.

[samantnikhil]

Dear @roodeey

Since this clip is beyond your understanding, please do not respond critically.

Our Meher Baba is truly Avatar which will come to know this world very soon.

[Kamali22]

@risforrationalism He was of persian zorastrian origin btw, and his father migrated from Khorramshahr (iran) to India and married a persian zoroastrian woman from his birthplace. But he was raised in India, u can tell by his look, features that he is of iranic aryan race and not desi dravidian.

Long live Persia!

[sunny750i]

@Kamali22

His Found his spiritual guru "upasani maharaj" in india then after tht he made few moe gurus all of them were from india. He spent his childhood in pune city & was a student of Deccan college.

[coltom]

@risforrationalism love him or hate him, he couldn't be any further from Charles Manson than I am - frankly if you use a knife and fork like you reason, you're going to starve to death

[TheJoyfulPianist]

@risforrationalism very absurd comment.

[soldatheero]

@risforrationalism HMm GJ what you said would be right if you said it about any single other 100000 indian gurus EXCEPT this guy.

[m22frogger]

@risforrationalism Actually the purpose of eastern teachings is to better yourself. One should worship or admire masters/gurus and assorted teachers, but ultimately they teach you to remember yourself as Love/God and try to get you to become it again. Namaste :) Peace to you :)

[PinkertonStudsworth]

@risforrationalism Your comment was shallow. (A feeble attempt at humor, perhaps?) For the sake of your comparison, when did Meher Baba ever tell his people to murder others? Or, when did Manson ever tell his people that they should love all beings as manifestations of the one, only, truly existent God?

[colinthepianist]

@risforrationalism That is such a hilariously wrong statement! You have obviously done little to no research about Meher Baba. Whether he is the Avatar or not, there's no denying that he was a very special individual (once you know the facts). You can do better than compare him to Charles Manson.

[presbush19999]

Jesus said that he was God on Earth. If you read Meher Baba's work he does not desire followers or power, he simply spells out a way to live your life that will ultimately bring you greater happiness and fulfillment

[shreeswifty]

Meher Baba is not a false avatar. I love him. And he loves me and you too.

Jai Meher Baba!

[NagualJaime]

Please. None of this jai business.

[keptyeti]

I wonder how it all turned out.

[sneakyeye2020]

This is how it all turned out.....he died without performing any miracles, without healing any sick and without changing the world. He claimed to be God incarnate, if so his life would appear to be a complete waste of Gods time as he achieved nothing but a small following of fools who were quick to forsake him after his death!

[timmer17]

sorry, but this is simply not true. please research Meher Baba's life and work before making these assumptions.

[gframesch]

He was a "joker" god.He lost his tongue in USA in the 1930s in car accident so pretended to be "silent vow" man.God ha ve mercy upon this cheat guru.gfr.

[jayjayfroggy]

I love hearing such glib and wildly off stories that get passed around. He cut his tongue and mouth in a 1952 USA car accident, but didn't lose it. This wass 27 years into his silence, which was started in 1925. In the last few days of his life, January 1969, he spoke a few words to close ones, apparently beginning the breaking of His Silence. Now he speaks to all within our hearts, if we are only able to listen!

[nikomando]

@jayjayfroggy I wouldn't say if we are able tu listen, I'd say willing to listen

[mthedon1]

@jayjayfroggy .... where have u read that Baba had spoken a few words to close ones in the last days...this is absolutely wrong information...He never did utter a single word after observing his silence....He only speaks to all within our hearts.... Jai baba..

[MizzyWomack]

I'm curious where you are getting your information that he lost his tongue in an auto accident in the '30s? I find it quite funny actually that you would assume that. I've never heard that before. He began his silence in 1925 and the car accident in the USA was not until the 50s. But anyway, please come see the communities that have sprung up in love for Baba for yourself in Myrtle Beach, SC, Ahmednagar, India, or Ojai, California, I think you will be surprised. :) And God bless you too. :)

[roodeey]

Just an observation but the speaker is obviously speaking far faster than Baba is able to spell out with one finger on his board the words the speaker is saying.

[haribolshanti]

why couldn't he talk?

[timmer17]

Meher Baba chose to be silent. He indicated that the silence was undertaken as a means to conserve his spiritual energy, and declared, "You have asked for and been given enough words - it is now time to live them."

In a statement which became one of his most famous, he added that, "all things that are real are given and received in silence."

[toolaaya]

And the second coming of Christ has to come on a cloud; It says so in the Bible. And the Mahdi will climb out of a well. This is very important to understand.

[bayridge108]

Meher baba is a false avatar, if he is not predicted in scripture he is false, and he is not predicted. an avatar also must show his virat rupa (universal form) just as Krishna showed to Arjun at kurukshetra also an avatar never says he is god or an avatar

[colinthepianist]

@bayridge108 The funny thing is that you don't really know that any of what you just said is true. It's all based on belief.

[dropsouldotcom]

Love it!

[sureshkadiri]

Really one of the great saints India had.

[fosO72]

Meher Baba said, "I was Ram, I was Krishna, I was this One, I was that One, and now I am Meher Baba. In fact, in this form of flesh and blood, I am the same Ancient One who alone is eternally worshiped and ignored, ever remembered and forgotten. I am that Ancient One whose past is worshiped and remembered; whose present is ignored and forgotten, and whose future advent is anticipated with great fervor and longing." (LordMeher dot org his 20 Volume Biography.)

[babajacob]

Meher Baba is my God, my Christ, my Ancient One. He is my true self. My Beloved.

[wonderheart]

"to bring all religions and cults together like beads on one string" only the Avatar can do this-Jai Baba

[omyeru]

india has too many avatar: rama, krishna, shiva, devi, osho, sai baba, meher baba.

but what about you??

you are your own avatar of youserlf

so.. just take a few points of view of each "avatar"

and go on

[supralee]

this is real comedy

and meher baba is one of good actor in this comedy!

[kopernikus]

meher baba rulez!
