Meher Baba did extensive work to present his gnosis in written form. During the years 1925 and 1926, he spent long periods in seclusion writing by hand his original Book that has come to be known as "the missing book."

From 1938 to 1943 Baba gave points by use of an alphabet board to be worked up into Discourses by Dr. C.D. Deshmukh. Later, in 1953-54 he dictated his major book God Speaks, also by alphabet board, which as he said (in 1967) contains 90% of his original "Book". God Speaks reveals Meher Baba's ultimate experience of the imaginary journey of the soul through creation, starting from its original unconscious state, all the way to its final awakening in Self-consciousness. In 1967-68 Meher Baba also dictated "sets of points" to his disciple Bhau Kalchuri and instructed him to integrate them into a book to be named The Nothing And The Everything and made it clear that these points contained the remaining 10% of his original Book.

In recent years some manuscripts were discovered that are believed to be either a copy of part of the original Book, or elucidations given to some of his close followers, and have been published under the name Infinite Intelligence (2005). In addition, over the years Baba gave numerous messages and brief discourses published in various shorter works including The Everything and the Nothing, Meher Baba on the Spiritual Panorama, and Life At Its Best. Numerous other messages, letters, circulars, and conversations given by Meher Baba have also been published in the exhaustive 20 volume biography Lord Meher, The Biography of the Avatar of the Age by Bhau Kalchuri.

This website is owned and maintained by Stelios Karavias. It would have never started and reached the form presented here without the participation and many-sided help of Christopher Ott. The aim of the site is to elucidate on the subject of gnosis (literally: true knowledge, or dnyana -Vedanta, or irfan -Sufi), as imparted by Meher Baba.

Traditionally such issues are considered "esoteric". Meher Baba, however, has worked to open the most essential part of this knowledge to the whole world. So, although a limited number of people are inclined to follow the path of knowledge as part of their spiritual journey, the issues of this site can be considered as "exoteric", in the sense that they are openly available, intellectually at least, to everyone.

Gnosis, however, is beyond the reach of the intellect and is available only by direct experience of the various stages of the spiritual Path and ultimately of the Self.

On August of 2006 I decided to write in Wikipedia something about the cosmology of Meher Baba. It was suggested that I expand on the existing -but small- article on God Speaks and start one about Meher Baba's Discourses. This brought me in contact with Christopher Ott and we soon started exchanging emails on many topics related to Meher Baba's words, as well as many other historical and philosophical topics.

On March 2008, I purchased the domain meherbabadnyana.net and hosted it in Austria, where I was living at the time, and where it keeps being hosted to the present thanks to the kind generosity of Monika Radax. By the end of 2009, while still a work in progress in terms of content, the website had reached a presentable version and was linked to from various Baba websites and blogs. Meanwhile, I had reworked the code and included in the same domain as a sub-site, an almost abandoned web anthology by Markar called Life Eternal, which soon became popular with many Baba lovers.

On December 2011, Chris decided to pull his essays out, which left the main site almost completely useless. As a result, I forwarded the start-page to the anthology of Life Eternal, where it stays to this day. On May 2019 I decided to put back online, three of the original essays while keeping the site unaccessible via Life Eternal, with the agreement of Chris. Sincethe three essays presented here were written, their topics have been further developed by Chris and are currently small part of his online archives.
