Nectar for the Children

Stories dictated by Avatar Meher Baba to Bhau Kalchuri, one of His close disciples. From the book's introduction:

“This children’s book happened all of a sudden. In 1968, Beloved Baba told me that I should write a children’s book and include certain stories He had given me. And then I forgot.

“In 2002, when Mother B. (Barbara Brustman) was in the Trust Office at Ahmednagar, I dictated a story. ‘This is a very good story for children,’ she observed.

“Immediately, I remembered that Baba had asked me to write a children’s book, but I had forgotten. When I sent these stories to Shiva (Lynwood Sawyer) in New York City, he suggested that they should also be illusrated.

“I thought that it is my duty to fulfill Beloved Baba’s Wish, and therefore, I have written these stories down. Most were told directly by Baba Himself. They are very good stories, and because they are connected with God, children will be greatly benefited by them.

“At the very least, children will hear the name of Meher Baba. Afterwards, they will try to know more and more about Him. And because of this, I think, Beloved Baba had asked me to write this book.

“With all love and Jai Baba to you,

“In His love and service,

“Bhau”
