MUSEUM

Thank you for visiting our small museum dedicated to Heidi Mertens.
For many years Seclusion Hill was untrampled, raw - saturated with Presence.
Here we present three pebbles that were selected from thousands of small pebbles and tiny rocks.

In 1936 Heida Mertens found this pebble. An incarnational journey of a pebble form.
The Deity is known as the arcā-vigraha or arcā-avatāra, an incarnation of the Supreme Lord in the form of a material manifestation (stone). Ultimately there is no difference between Krishna manifest in matter or Krishna manifest in spirit because both are His energies. For Krishna, there is no distinction between matter and spirit.

 

 

 

Baba immediately led the group up Seclusion Hill, picking up pebbles and tossing them on either side as he climbed. He would also keep looking back to make sure the elderly ones were keeping pace.

Two years later in 1938 from Seculsion Hill these small pebbles were collected

1958 Australia Sahavas:
So, Baba gave one each to Clarice Adams, Frances Lee, Lorna Rouse and Joan Le Page. Then Baba handed out the rest of the gifts, miniature leather sandals and bangles. Before they left, each was given some of Baba's hair by him. Two large color-tinted photographs of Baba were handed over with explicit instructions that they be hung in his room, one on the inside of the doorway and the other on the outside. The women went out onto the verandah, and the men had their turn alone with Baba. Each was given a small pebble from Meherabad Hill.
