Bruce Felknor heard of Meher Baba in 1979, while on a post-college European tour. Since then, he's visited India over 30 times and made numerous trips to Meher Center at Myrtle Beach. He's had lots of opportunities to spend time with Baba's Mandali and volunteer in various capacities at the Meher Baba Trust in India.

He currently serves on the Board of Meher Fund, Inc., which supports the Meher Free Dispensary at Meherazad, and is a past board member and regular member of the Meher Baba Information Center of Chicago.

He lives in Chicago with his spouse, Jeanne (nee Nordeen) and their dog, Rumi, and works as a software engineer.
