Short video of C. B. Purdom
On 8th April 1932, in London, Shri Meher Baba was interviewed by C. B. Purdom for Paramount News. The Indian mystic, believed by many to be Avatar, had not communicated verbally for seven years. In this clip, lasting just over a minute, he communicates by means of an alphabet board. The commentary by C. B. Purdom (despite the poor sound quality) shows the most perfect diction of the English language by any person that I have ever heard. Click on the link below to view the video. Please first make sure your sound is turned on.
