Beloved God Prayer

Beloved God Prayer

Beloved God is the common name of a prayer created by Meher Baba on August 25, 1959. ["Meher Prabhu: Lord Meher, The Biography of the Avatar of the Age, Meher Baba", Bhau Kalchuri, Manifestation, Inc. 1986. p. 5633] Meher Baba was fond of the prayer, and encouraged his followers to repeat it.

The prayer has become a part of a canon of prayers regularly repeated by Meher Baba's followers, along with the Prayer of Repentance and O Parvardigar. The three prayers are repeated morning and evening at Meher Baba's samadhi in Ahmednagar, India.

The prayer refers to Meher Baba's "damaan", which means "hem" in Urdu, as in the hem of a garment. Baba often gave the figure of a mother telling a child to hold her garment's hem while they walked through the market place, and said that his disciples should always hold fast to his damaan in the same way. Pete Townshend of The Who, a follower of Meher Baba, used this simile in his song "Don't Let Go the Coat", the second track on The Who's 1981 "Face Dances" album.

Text of the prayer

:"Beloved God, help us all to love you more and more, and more and more, and still yet more, until we become worthy of union of you; and help us all to hold fast to Baba's daaman [The word "daaman" means the hem of a robe or garment in Urdu.] until the very end."
