    9. History Of Baba's Tomb
    Meher Baba chose to be buried in a tomb built from stones of a dismantled military post office. He spent time in seclusion in a pit covered with bamboo matting before the tomb was built. The tomb features murals painted by Helen Dham, a renowned artist from Switzerland. Meher Baba instructed Eruch to bring his body to Meherabad for burial after his death, and to play the song “Begin the Beguine” at his funeral. Despite initial skepticism, Eruch prepared for this eventuality, including learning the song’s lyrics. After Baba’s death, Eruch followed his instructions, playing the song during the funeral procession and burial at Meherabad. After Meher Baba’s passing, His body was kept open for seven days, allowing many to pay their respects. A concrete slab was placed over the tomb, later replaced with a marble slab featuring engravings. Restoration work on the mural was entrusted to a skilled artist, who experienced a setback when the emulsion he used caused the mural to disappear, only to reappear miraculously after a period of prayer and penance.

    13. Repeat My Name
    The discussion centers around the importance of spreading Meher Baba’s name and message. While it is emphasized that the responsibility lies with the followers to share His name and message, the outcome and results are left to Baba’s discretion. The potency of His name is acknowledged, and it is highlighted that the current phase encourages the dissemination of His name to humanity. Eruch discusses the importance of repeating God’s name, using the allegory of a debtor hiding from creditors to illustrate the relationship between devotees and the Lord. He emphasizes that true remembrance of God involves forgetting oneself and allowing the divine to emerge, rather than mere repetition of a name. Eruch shares a story about a saint who used the impact of a single word to illustrate the power of repeating God’s name.
