Word is spreading about the third annual Avatar Meher Baba Music Sahavas. This event began with a whim and has now taken on a life of its own. The first two gatherings were heartfelt and joyous, and this year promises to thrill the hearts of all who attend. It’s an opportunity to share your own music to Baba in our Round Robin, hear short sets, learn new songs, participate in singalongs, attend workshops and hear invited guest musicians in concert. You can meet other Baba musicians from all over the country, and, above all, join in praising our Beloved Baba together.
