The First Avatar to Emphasize the West

Meher Baba is the first avatar to focus on the West. 

Baba was born in British India in 1894. London was the new Rome. Baba's Discourses were worked up from his notes by Dr. Deshmukh, a philosopher with his Ph.D. from the University of London. In 1944 at Breton Woods the capital of the Anglo-American Empire turned to the USA. God Speaks was published in the U.S.

While Baba toured the world during his lifetime, he spent the most continuous time in the U.K., the U.S.A. and Australia. All of these are considered Western nations, and all speak English.

All of Baba's books were originally published in English.

In his lifetime most of Baba's followers were in India and the English speaking West. 

At the time of Mohammad the seats of world power were the Eastern Roman Empire and the Persian Empire. England at that time was just a collection of competing Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, not a major power. The Americas and Australia had not even been discovered yet. 

So it makes sense that Baba was the first Avatar to stress the West.
