At quarter past six in the evening, Buasaheb, Chanji, Padri, Ramjoo, and Vishnu climbed up the hill for the last time. Padri took a photograph of the hut and one of the Master with his alphabet board. Meher Baba's photograph was kept in the hut in memory of his presence along with a brief inscription. At seven o'clock the mandali returned, and Baba came down after a while with Raosaheb, Chanji and the boys.
Pandit, the pure-hearted Kashmiri boy, came again and was given a locket with Baba's picture in it. Baba decided to leave Kashmir the next day. Coming to know of this, the villagers formed a long procession for darshan. Although it had been banned for the past three days, many had come and sought darshan. The headman of the village declared sincerely, "The whole of Harvan is sanctified by Meher Baba's presence."
At eight o'clock on Sunday morning, 11 August 1929, Baba and the mandali hurriedly departed from Harvan, thereby eluding another long procession of farewells from the villagers. They traveled all day and stopped at a rest house at Banihal at 5:40 P.M. where Buasaheb and Vishnu cooked rice and dal. Baba too broke his fast and joined the mandali for dinner at 9:00 P.M. Raosaheb (who was out of sorts and refused to eat) took the first shift of nightwatch from 10:00 P.M. until midnight, and Chanji did the remaining watch from midnight to 4:00 A.M.
The next day, while the bus was moving, Baba informed the mandali that he wanted to eat and ordered them to cook dal, which was difficult to do in the jolting back compartment. Though it was very awkward, Ramjoo and Vishnu lit the kerosene stove and fresh dal was cooked.
Their hands were scorched while cooking, but Baba's remark consoled them, "By burning your fingers today in preparing dal for me, you have obliged me to make you into something one day."
They stopped near a stream where Baba had the dal with bread. It was becoming warm and Baba took off his kamli coat. The connection this coat had with Baba's work in Kashmir was deeply significant — but Baba never explained what it was.
After traveling for four days, they reached Panipat on 15 August. Baba, with the help of Aga Ali, prepared tea.
He later remarked, "From today, we won't stop in any city or town for the remainder of our journey."
