In the late 1960s, there were only two biographies of Meher Baba's life available. One was the God Man by Charles Purdom, published in 1962. It was a classical biography of Meher Baba's life up to that time. The other was Avatar by Jean Adriel, published in 1947. This book was written both as a first-person account of the author's spiritual preparation to her meeting with Meher Baba in 1931, and a biography of Meher Baba using sources available to her in the mid-1940s.
Avatar is quite personal, vividly revealing the inner challenges in one's relationship with Meher Baba, and an intimate biography of Meher Baba written by one who had a deep background in Western Metaphysics and Depth Psychology. Jean had an extensive inner life even before she heard of Meher Baba. She and Princess Norina Matchabelli were close friends, and each had numerous spiritual experiences before meeting Baba.
