1983 Sahavas Circular:
Sam Kerawala who comes to us from Poona, India, is Eruch Jessawalla's cousin; his mother is Bonu Masai, thus, he grew up in the closest of Baba families. He has a delightful sense of humor and a wealth of Baba stories and memories to share with us.
On vacation from his career as a merchant seaman, we are privileged to capture him
as our Sahavas guest.1
Sam Kerawala. Sam narrates the story: "My maternal cousin Dorab Satha, who resides in Bombay, for many years would send Beloved Baba His Birthday greetings on the date which fell due according to our Zoroastrian calendar, which date invariably fell much earlier than the Roman date. It was his practice to open up the Divan-eHafiz arbitrarily and the first Ghazal that came up would become the theme of the Birthday greetings for that particular year. In 1969, Beloved Baba's birthday by the Zoroastrian calendar fell on February 7th. Accordingly around noon on 31st January after his morning bath and prayers, Dorab opened up the Divan for the birthday ghazal to send to Beloved Baba. To his utter surprise, the ghazal read: You are about to mail a letter to your Beloved, but to which address will you mail it, as of now He has become all Pervading everywhere!"
"Dorab did not understand the message so conveyed, as it was noon of the 31st and the news of our Beloved having dropped His Body had not yet been flashed the world over. So he opened the Divan once again, formed his
Birthday greetings on the lines of the new Ghazal and mailed the letter so that it should reach Beloved Baba by 7th February. About 4 p.m. on the 31st, news reached all His lovers in Bombay that Meher Baba had dropped
His body a little after 12 noon of that day. Dorab then realised the true significance of the first ghazal that had opened up that day."

Sam the Storyteller Perhaps some of you have heard Sam Kerawala tell Sufi parables and stories after Arti. He usually tells one at every arti that he attends, and he hardly ever repeats them, no small feat in itself. His stories have become quite popular, and when he starts speaking in his soft voice, people walk over to the Samadhi platform to listen.
