The phase that the Diary covers was a wonderful and extremely dynamic period of Baba's life. The Meherabad ashram had just been established the year before, in 1923; during the following years of the Diary period Baba created a thriving colony there, had built many of the early historic Meherabad structures, established the Meher Ashram and Hazrat Babajan school for children, opened a hospital and dharamshala, began His long Silence, wrote His Book, gave His darshan freely and extensively both to individual seekers and larger crowds, and trained his early disciples in His unique divine ways.

The authors of The Combined Diary write from the perspective of men who had the extraordinary good fortune of having recognized the Avatar of the Age and who wanted to leave a record of their experiences. The incidents of their daily life with Him, and what they were able to see of His workings from their angle of vision, give rise to many remarkable narrative moments which we hope many of Baba's lovers today will find to be of great interest and value.

In time these web pages will be remounted in the form of a more user-friendly interface, which will allow easy location of just the particular diary pages that you might be interested in along with transcriptions and more extensive helpful search tools. Currently we are able to provide this basic archival presentation, just the diaries as they were kept all these many years in the very same trunks and cupboards that Baba was referring to in the opening page of the Archive Section.
