Meher Baba (born Merwan Sheriar Irani; 25 February 1894 – 31 January 1969) was an Indian spiritual master who said he was the Avatar, or the total manifestation of God in human form.
"Meher Baba" means "Compassionate Father." It is the name given to Him, their spiritual Master, by a group of His disciples in the early 1920s after signs of His spiritual status became apparent.
The Indian holy man Meher Baba decided that words were a big part of our problems. That people had overused words -- especially when it comes to talking about God. So he stopped speaking for two decades.
This child, he was told, would "complete his search for God." He continued to live as an ascetic for another decade, until 1883, when he announced that he would marry the then-five-year-old Shireen. Her parents permitted the girl to marry Irani when she was 14 and he was 39. He would later run a teashop in Poona.
Much has been written about the life and work of Meher Baba (1894–1969), a spiritual master who gave up speaking at age thirty-one. Despite observing silence for the rest of his life, about forty-four years, Meher Baba remained highly eloquent and prolific.
