in 1973 and 1974 Steven Hein videotaped Meher Baba's mandali on a reel-to-reel videotape recorder. Kristine Wyld arranged for the tapes to be converted to professional quality analogue Betacam SP tapes, to help preserve them.
The tapes are of Mehera, Mani, Eruch, Padri and others , telling wonderful tales of their lives with Baba. As an example of one gem amongst many, we see Eruch and Mani demonstrating Baba's gestures and his use of the alphabet board.
There are a total of 16 tapes, each approximately 30 minutes long.
Our plan is to release these to the Baba community via YouTube, dividing each tape into two parts, coded Part 1 and Part 2. Because YouTube restricts videos to 15 min max, we may need to go to Part 3 with some of the tapes. We are not sure of the chronology of the tapes, and therefore the order of release, and the naming of the tapes does not follow any particular chronology.
The tapes have been "denoised" using NeatVideo, and adjustments made to the brightness and contrast. No attempt has been made to remove the "drop outs" (seen as flashes of white).
Splendid, Michael - just such a great gift you & Steve are allowing to be shared worldwide...Thank you both - and most of all, thanks to the One Who makes it all possible...

That lucky pilgrim gets Eruch bowing down to him...even if it was a demo, that's gotta mean something...'a meaningful demonstration'. Another great video and thank you all very much. Good job!!!
