The Old Man Never Lets You Down
By: Hoshang and Havovi Dadachanji
Location: Meherabad Dining Hall
Date: 2001
Time: 59 minutes
Unlike some “How I Came to Baba” stories where a critical
event occurs and Meher Baba becomes a focal point in the aspirant’s
life, Hoshang and Havovi were slowly drawn to Baba. Hoshang’s
uncle was Chanji Dadachanji (Baba’s secretary in the early
years) and Havovi married into the Dadachanji family. Havovi was
not a Baba lover in the beginning, and it took seven years to fully
accept Baba. She felt pressured to see Baba at Guruprasad and made
excuses not to go to Guruprasad every weekend. Hoshang knew of Baba
at an early age and first met Baba in December 1943 in Lonavla at
the engagement party for his older brother Nariman and Arnavaz.
Even at this age, Hoshang recognized the radiance in Baba’s
face, but it was not until about 1960 that Hoshang and Havovi were
finally caught and drowned in Baba’s net of love.
Their experiences with Baba as the human side of God was so engaging
that Baba constantly reminded the crowd, “Don’t forget,
I am God”; and their experiences with Baba as the divine side
of God taught them that Baba is honor bound to help and will never
let you down.
