Purchase Here lies My Heart

Created after four years of research and writing, this newest book from Bob Mossman of Oceanic Publishing, highlights the 67-year love story and life of Manhattan-born Anita de Caro with Meher Baba.

Hundreds of letters between Baba and Anita are featured along with more than 200 photographs focusing on the evolving love that Anita felt through her honeymoon days with Baba in Portofino and Cannes in the thirties and evolving life thereafter.

These early wonderful days quickly darkened for Anita and her new husband Roger, with Germany's march into Paris in mid-1940, and their difficult decision to remain and live in the City of Light throughout the occupation.

After Cannes in 1937, Anita, would not be in Baba's physical company again for 15 years.

Walk through the pages of Here Lies My Heart, with the tests of obedience with Baba that Anita felt and her almost seven decades with Baba. His Divine Love carried her – in her own words – through "the personal, to the impersonal, and finally to the sacred."

Purchase The Boys

The Boys – is the story of three boys who attended Spiritual Master Meher Baba's free, international school in 1927-29.

The lives of the three youngsters – two from Persia and one from India – would be altered forever after their initial academic school experience evolved into higher realms of the spiritual life at the Prem Ashram.

Co-authored by Bob Mossman and Farshid Namiranian, the 450-page book traces the lives of these boys through their school years and into their adult lives in Iran and India.

The three would have very little personal contact with Meher Baba after 1929, but their earlier ashram experience kept them within Baba's orbit for the remainder of their lives.

The Boys was researched and written over five years. We hope the book presents to the reader the possibilities which can unfold in working towards a fine balance in one's inner and worldly life.

Purchase Divine Drama

Charles B. Purdom re-defined his existence continuously throughout his life. Born in 1883, his early childhood was like a bleak Dickens novel. And, yet the young boy who worked long hours to help support his siblings and parents, willed a course continuously to bring shining moments to life.

From meager beginnings, Charles would become a multi-talented individual. A founder of two model towns outside of London, a dedicated spiritual seeker, lover of Shakespeare, amateur actor, producer, director, theater critic, journalist, editor, and author. He did not abandon these dedications, but carried them throughout a rich and unfolding life.

In 1931, Charles, 47, and a father of four, met Meher Baba at a rural retreat in Devon, England, on the Spiritual Master's first visit to the Western World. This contact altered his remaining years dramatically. In 1932, after writing a delightful little personal philosophy book called A Plan of Life, Charles began a biography of Meher Baba. The Perfect Master was published in 1937.

The pages of Divine Drama attempt to offer Charles B. Purdom as he lived.
Always questioning. Grand times and faltering times. Not a carefree dance — through life. But, great spiritual strength. He gave so much . . .
