God In Human Form

God in Human Form-A review

Meher Baba lit a fire within Peter Nordeen and the creative urge overtook him. For this we can be eternally grateful, for the result is truly inspired - - - a masterpiece.  This introductory video is a compelling synthesis of the most lovely footage and photos of our Beloved, shown chronologically from toddlerhood to grave, with sometimes – haunting, sometimes – ecstatic, musical background and an artfully written and masterfully delivered narration depicting Meher Baba’s life and work.

 

The film addresses questions often asked by those new to Him of His relationship with His beloved Mehera, His automobile collisions, and issues surrounding His silence. All are approached in a natural, straightforward way.

 

The beauty of this film lies in its simplicity of format, succinctness of presentation, comprehensiveness of scope, and the depth of understanding of the significance of Meher Baba’s advent and mission. It brings together the talents of Bob Fredericks, the film editor, and a number of Baba-lovers to create a powerful means of sharing Baba’s name and message with others. As a recent youth sahavasee reported to his mother, after seeing the film, “I found out so many things about Baba’s life that I never knew before. I loved this film!”  I’d say you can’t do better than that.
