Life’s Surrender

From the Introduction: Two months before Nadine Tolstoy died in New York City on April 14, 1946, Meher Baba sent a message from India describing Nadine’s work for Him as “life’s surrender.”

This book is the first comprehensive account of Countess Nadine Tolstoy’s life and work as a disciple of the Avatar of the Age. Part One tells the story of Nadine’s daily life with Meher Baba by drawing on her previously unpublished private papers, including correspondence with Baba and notes she kept while living with Baba in India.

Part Two contains a selection of articles written by Nadine while living with Baba in India, providing a firsthand account of Baba’s work and activities at His Nasik and Meherabad ashrams.
