Meherbai gave a ‘Nostalgia Party’ for her Mandli and even served nostalgic food, like Kumas, Saandhra, Popatji, Malido, Varadh-varaa, Taari-Na-Bhakhra, Khaman-Ladoos, which hardly anyone prepares these days. Keki Khadro: Meherbai, I haven’t had breakfast today, so can we have an early lunch? Meherbai: You mean brunch? Keki: Brunch, punch, bunch, lunch – call it what you want! Keki’s Khadhri […]
The year was 2000. We decided to travel to South Africa and spent almost three weeks there. Apart from Jo’berg, we visited Durban and Cape Town amongst other places, meeting and mingling with a lot of people. One fascinating story always stayed with me… it is about a woman with great supernatural powers. Standing upon a hill, […]
As readers know, the khanar-pinar, farnar-harnar members of Meherbai’s Mandli were all over 80 years and yet enjoyed life to the hilt! This time, they decided to go for a day’s picnic to Alibaug by the Ro-Ro ferry. As soon as everyone was on the boat, religious Rutty started doing her Kasti prayers in the Havan-Geh. She had […]
According to western astrology, we are now in the Aquarian age, which is receptive to the higher vibrational frequencies of the Universe. The Age of Aquarius is referred to in several ways by different sources. Edgar Cayce, the great psychic, refers to it as the start of the ‘New Age’. It is also referred to […]

As I grow older, I get a ring-side view of ‘sick-marriages’ on the brink of divorce, even today. I try to heal such marriages by encouraging couples to create a loving, healthy and stable home for their children (if any) because there are no winners in a divorce – only losers. And the worst losers […]
After enjoying rollicking parties for New Year, Valentine’s Day, Holi and Jamshedi Navroze, the Mandli fixed another party for an all-inclusive lunch date. The idea was that a little bit of nonsense makes a lot of sense in life! This time they had two new couples in their Mandli – Dinamai Designer and her husband […]
The first step towards rejuvenation is to understand the difference between the chronological and the physiological ages of the human body. We cannot change our date of birth, but we can alter our physiological age – which refers to the condition of our bodies. In fact, there is nothing magical about reversing the biological clock! Ancient […]
The Khanar-Pinar friends of the Mandli requested Meherbai to organise a thali-lunch. Gooli Google: It will be a change to eat from a silver thali. It’s so boring to eat out of kaanch-ni-plate day after day! Rarto Rohan: No thali business! We men like to eat motta-motta- gosh-na-bota! Mai-Kanglo-Minoo: I call it ramakra, just as I call my Dinoo ramakroo! Meherbai: Call them what you want, but in […]
The word ‘Metaphysics’ implies something that goes beyond the physical matter of our observation and experience. Avesta Prayers are Manthric compositions which have tremendous effects on the mind, our thinking, psyche, emotions and day to day life. Manthra is a path towards salvation – a secret and sacred key towards peace and bliss, particularly in […]
The other day, I was having a conversation with a 45 year old ‘boy’ who asked me to introduce him to an ‘extremely beautiful’ girl to marry and settle down with! “She should be clever, an absolute charmer, and intelligent too, like James Bond’s women!” he quipped, to which I replied, “But all those women […]
