A photograph of the Baba Tree, taken with a small camera, gained widespread attention after being developed and then shared by Adi K. Irani. The image, resembling Meher Baba’s face attracted visitors from nearby villages, including schoolchildren, disrupting the privacy of Meherazad for some time.

Mani recounts a dream where Mani and Goher are in their quarters during a storm, closing windows. Baba’s image appears in the tree, telling Mani not to close the window because Baba is there.

After Meher Baba’s passing, an image of his face appeared on a tree outside Mehera and Mani’s room in Meherazad. The image, which seemed to be sculpted by an invisible hand, comforted Mehera and reassured Mani that Baba was still present. Over time, the image changed, with the bark shifting and a shadow of a crown appearing, leaving Mani and Mehera in awe of the phenomenon.

Mani recounts a story about his mother bringing a set of new clothes for Baba’s birthday, but initially forgetting the red velvet cap. When she returned to fetch it, she found the cap and three rupees next to it, leading her to realize Baba’s uniqueness. Later, during the New Life, Baba gave the women turbans, tying one on Mani’s head, which Mani later interpreted as a symbolic gesture of responsibility.

The day before Meher Baba dropped His body, He reassured Mehera that He would be strong after His birthday, February 25th. However, Baba passed away on January 31st, His birthday according to the Gujarati calendar. Despite the unexpected timing, Mehera remained strong and comforted others, demonstrating the courage Baba had given her.
