Avatar Meher Baba's Final Declaration

"When my universal religion of love is on the verge of fading into insignificance, I come to breathe life into it, and to do away with the farce of dogmas that defile it in the name of religions, and stifle it with ceremonies and rituals." Meher Baba. In June of 1954, Avatar Meher Baba planned a 2 day meeting inviting 1000 men to gather at Meherbad, near Ahmednager, in the state of Maharashtra, India. He stated in June 1954 that he was done with giving out messages, and on September 30th he would be giving his final message. He also indicated he would stop using his alphabet board one week after the meeting, which he did in Satara on October 7th, 1954 On the second afternoon of the large gathering, on September 30th 1954, at 3:00pm, under a large canopy at lower Meherabad in front of 968 men , Meher Baba gave his Final Declaration. This video was originally made in September 2004 and presented at Mandali Hall in lower Meherabad for the 50th Anniversary of the Final Declaration meetings. Then it was modified and included in the film Three Incredible Weeks With Meher Baba, released in 2007. In May 2020, this version was made at Meherabad during the Indian lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been re-worked extensively, converting the original SD footage into HD. some scenes re-edited, and a better slow motion algorithm used for the slow motion scenes.
