Press Release

SHORE TO SHORELESS
A voyage across The Ocean Of Existence with Meher Baba

Shore to Shoreless is now available as a Free E-Book that can be downloaded from the following Meher Spiritual University URL
http://www.meherspiritualuniversity.org/resources.html .

This book was first published in 1999 and all printed copies of this book got exhausted. We felt that it would be best if this book is now made available in its electronic version as a free download from the internet. `Shore to Shoreless' tells the story of five tormented individuals who meet accidentally and agree to embark on a voyage across the Ocean of E xistence with Meher Baba. The book follows this interesting journey of this diverse group in search of lasting happiness across its 12 chapters and 460 pages attempting to explore the synergy between Meher Baba's cosmology, diverse religious traditions and modern science.

We hope you will enjoy reading the E-Book edition of this book, which we humbly dedicate at the lotus feet of our Divine Beloved Avatar Meher Baba.

- Professor J.S.Rathore
