 Beloved God is the common name of a prayer created by Meher Baba on August 25, 1959. [1] Meher Baba was fond of the prayer, and encouraged his followers to repeat it. The prayer has become a part of a canon of prayers regularly repeated by Meher Baba's followers, along with the Prayer of Repentance and O Parvardigar. The three prayers are repeated morning and evening at Meher Baba's Samadhi in Ahmednagar, India. The prayer refers to Meher Baba's damaan, which means "hem", as the hem of a garment. Baba often gave the figure of a mother telling a child to hold her garment's hem while they walked through the market place, and said that his disciples should always hold fast to his damaan in the same way. Pete Townshend, a follower of Meher Baba, wrote a song employing this image Don't Let Go the Coat. [edit] Text of the prayer
