description: One of the earliest American disciples of Meher Baba, Darwin Shaw presents here a phenomenal memoir of a man who has lived in the world but has spent most of his life following and personally serving the being he instantly recognized as the Christ. Darwin was twenty-four when he first heard of Meher Baba and twenty-six when he met Baba in 1934. His tale of life with Meher Baba starts in the 1930s, wends its way through the 1940s, when he was an integral participant in readying the Meher Spiritual Center for Baba's first visit in 1952, through Baba's three visits to the Center in 1952, 1956 and 1958; the Three Incredible Weeks in India in 1954 and the East-West Gathering in India in 1962. Included are over 180 photographs. We have many accounts of life with Meher Baba in India, but this is one of the rare tales of what it was like for a Westerner with a job and a family to make God the main focus of his life. It is a superb account: lively, honest and loving, truly a must-read.
