The Old Man Never Lets You Down

Hoshang and Havovi Dadachanji
Location: Meherabad Dining Hall
2001
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.
