Work As Translator of Baba's Silent Gestures
Meher Baba was silent for 44 years, from 1925 until his death in 1969. Eruch Jessawala was Meher Baba's main interpreter, interpreting both his English language alphabet board and later his sign language. He also dictated from the alphabet board Meher Baba's major book God Speaks, wrote the ninth chapter of that book working from a chart by Meher Baba under Baba's direct supervision, and wrote the book's conclusion. Jessawala's stories of his life with Meher Baba were also published during his lifetime (see below).
