Discourses / by Meher Baba.
Historical note. The Discourses of Meher Baba were first printed in India in five volumes during
the years 1939-1943. The discourses in the first four volumes were reprinted from Meher Baba
journal. Four subsequent editions were printed up through 1954. These editions or printings were
issued for limited distribution to followers of Baba. In 1967, Sufism Reoriented published a 6th
revised edition in three volumes for public sale and distribution. Subsequently a 7th revised edition
in one volume, edited by E. Jessawala, J. F. Kris and B. Natu, was published and widely
distributed by Sheriar Press in 1987, serving as the basis for several translations as well. After a
clamour for the return of the O.P. 6th ed.; including a private printing without copyright
permissions, a four volume set was published as the revised 6th ed. by Sheriar Foundation in
2007.
The following entries attempt to reconstruct the printing history of the Discourses from those
volumes available for review.
