How many Baba lovers there are is difficult to gauge since there is no central authority and no membership rolls. One's relationship with Baba is considered a person's private affair. However, pilgrimage sites in India and America do report an increase in new visitors, so it is plausible that the overall number of followers is increasing slightly. There are no formal estimates.
 
Although Meher Baba had initially begun gaining popular notoriety in the West as early as [[1932]] as the result of attention received from some celebrities of the time (such as [[Tallulah Bankhead]]), and the rather disillusioned account of [[Paul Brunton]] (''A Search in Secret India'', 1934), he achieved additional attention in the West over three decades later during the 1970's, through the work of [[Pete Townshend#Religion|Pete Townshend]] of [[The Who]]. Parts of the rock-opera ''[[Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]'' (May, 1969) were inspired by Townshend's study of Meher Baba, to whom the album was dedicated. <ref>"Tommy", The Who, Gatefold cover acknowledgements, May 23, 1969</ref> The Who's 1971 song [[Baba O'Riley]] was named in part after Meher Baba. Townshend recorded the [[Jim Reeves (amerykański piosenkarz)|Jim Reeves]] song, "There's A Heartache Following Me" on his first solo album, ''[[Who Came First]]'', saying that it was Meher Baba's favorite song. In addition, [[Bobby McFerrin]]'s 1988 [[Grammy Award]] winning song "[[Don't Worry, Be Happy]]" was inspired by a popular quote of Baba's seen in numerous Baba posters and inspiration cards. <ref>Bruce Fessier, ''USA Weekend Magazine'', October 21-23, 1988</ref>
