Musical Guest: Josh Bate

Josh Bate has been a Baba lover ever since his teacher, interfaith minister Bella Salerno, introduced him to the Avatar in the late 90’s. Josh’s love of spiritual poetry and Hip Hop filter the teachings of diverse religions into spoken word poetry and songs.  Inside each piece is his relationship with the Beloved, the love and emotion of being inspired by Our Dear One and his quest to come closer to Him.  Josh’s work is at times powerful, gentle, energetic and touching.  He has performed at the Meher Spiritual Center, Baba House, and Meher Baba Music Sahavas.
