"BLESSED IS THE LOVE OF MY LOVERS IN AMERICA THAT HAS ADORNED NEW YORK WORLDS FAIR WITH MEHER BABA'S MESSAGE, I SEND MY BLESSING OF LOVE TO ALL MY LOVERS AND WORKERS WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE . . . ”

Many who stopped by had heard of Baba before. Some who knew of Him through Princess Norina Matchabelli’s lectures over twenty years ago, and only now were coming to the understanding of who He is. Once the seed is planted, only in Baba's time will it sprout!

A couple from Boston, Massachusetts, stopped before Baba’s portrait. The husband, who was interested in various yoga paths, said, "I have heard of Baba before."

It was she who first gave Dr. Roy one of Baba's books, when she met him after one of his lectures. Dr. Roy said he would try to have Meher Baba's books read to him before starting on his book.
