The mystery and triumph of Glimpses of Guruprasad lies in its delay in getting published. Meher Baba or the Compassionate Father is considered the greatest spiritual Master of this generation. He observed silence from 10 July 1925 until He dropped His body on 31 January 1969 and His spiritual work in simplicity has endeared many from all over the world. Meher Baba stayed at the palatial residence called Guruprasad at Pune where for many years, He held numerous public darshans and private meetings with His followers. Meher Baba took a keen interest in explaining the spiritual ethos behind His discourses, ghazals and quawallis sung by His lovers as well as played the part of an intimate champion concerned with the day to day happenings of His disciples.
