Ancient One ! Avathaar of God,
To accelerate Humanity's evolution,
You came to us again and again,
And brought about its rejuvenation.

In Your most recent Avathaar,
As
Meher Baba, You did come,
Laying the foundation of a science,
To greet
Peace with a welcome.

God, You were, who came to us,
Living here as a man on the earth,
To investigate religion's slowdown
And find a solution of worth.
_
Although disguised as a man,
You were God who came to us,
All the frailties that You showed,
Could not hide You from us !
_
Oh, Avathaar, being God Yourself,
Holy Omnicient
Haven of Peace !
Pray orient us on the true path
And make religious
strife cease !

The Awakening Avathar !

_
_
AWAKENING THE GOD
in
EVERYMAN
_
All avathars who have come so far,
Came to teach man religion.
Religion they taught,
Man quite soon forgot,
In the grind of growing civilization.
_
The New Avathar who has just come,
Comes not to teach but to Awaken.
Awakening God
In every ward,
Reviving Truth that was foresaken.
_
What the Avathar leaves behind,
Is world in throes of Awakening.
Awakening to Truth,
Sublimating the brute,
Leaving a New Era in the making

The Coming of Lord Meher

OUR DIVINE GUIDE


We love you Bhagavan, Avathar of God,
Pathfinder in this age of doubt:
We love,who loves the God-intoxicated,
Daasaanudaasa of the devout.

We desire to be in constant satsangh
With You, who can lead us on:
We seek and pray for total freedom
From samskaras with which we are born.

Interned in Samadhi, but present everywhere,
You know of our never ending plight:
If a groan is heard or a tear trickles
You come down to set things aright.

With silence, pointing to the Path of Love,
Spiritual Awakener of empathy true,
You called on us to bear responsibility
with the motto "Do as I do".

We are not betrayed by illusive Maya
When, Awakener!,You are around:
We cannot abandon our strife for progress
When fruits of Your Grace abound.

Oh! Beloved Meher! keep guiding us,
Straggling on this ancient path.
Designed by Siddhas,Tamil bhaktas of yore,
But lost in the aftermaths.

With your Divine Blessings, our dear Lord,
we will face the future, bold:
undeterred from the path laid out
From Your Samadhi, to do as told.

Victory is Yours !


_
. . . for, . .
YOU STAND ALONE !

_
There is no other Your equal,
For no other, than You, exists.
Need no victory over another,
For here no other is manifest.
_
In this Creation, true illusion,
You descend again and again,
As avathar of the lone
Reality,
Let illusive Maya,
You, sustain.
_
Your sadgurus are ever watchful,
When you, on earth, are not found.
Their intent being not to call
You,
Unless no good alternative is found.
_
We,
God lovers and Baba lovers,
Depend on
Your sadgurus' Grace,
Bless us through them and save us,
So that, in
You, we can find a place.
_
Your repeated victory over illusion,
Whenever you appear as an
avathar,
Holy books of all religions recollect,
And inspire us from near and far.
_
May all our world religions unite
As silver beads on a golden string,
Come together and, with one voice,
Victory's glorious tidings, bring !
