Prior to leaving Bombay, Baba had told Adi Sr. to arrive in Nasik at a specific time, but Adi was somehow delayed. Because of not being punctual, this unfortunate incident had occurred. The group arrived at 11:00 P.M., with Adi and Jalbhai bleeding, and both were taken to the hospital the next morning.
Slamson, Gustadji's brother, happily surprised everyone by showing up unexpectedly on the 22nd from Indore to see Baba, after being away for a long time.
Previously, on 9 May, Baba had instructed Chanji to write to Gandhi and arrange a meeting between them, now that Gandhi had been released from prison. But Gandhi was fasting and could not answer personally. The following letter was mailed to Chanji, written by an associate of Gandhi on his behalf:
May 15, 1933 Poona Dear Brother Dadachanji,
Your letter of the 9th inst. to revered Gandhiji was received. He has stopped receiving visitors from the day he began the fast. If Shri Baba comes, he will meet Baba but will not be able to talk or discuss anything.
Today, he has completed six days of his fast and one may say that he has kept good health so far.
Mathuradas [Wasanji]
Receiving this letter, Baba had the following telegram sent to Gandhi on 25 May:
Mahatma Gandhi c/o Lady Thakersey's Bungalow, Poona
I realize the spiritual significance of the great penance by fast you have undertaken, which is going to serve the cause of Untouchability very greatly and am having my nazar and blessings on you. The last critical stage, too, will pass off. Am leaving for Europe shortly, but am always spiritually with you. Love.
BABA c/o Sarosh Motor Works, Ltd. Nasik
Baba and the mandali went to Mr. Garud's bungalow for a tea reception on Saturday, 27 May 1933, the day before Baba's scheduled departure. Baba and a few mandali left Nasik for Poona and Bombay on the 28th. The search for an ideal boy continued in Bombay, but Baba rejected every youngster brought to him by the mandali.
Baba visited Nilu's several evenings while in Bombay. On 1 June, an old contact came to see Baba: Asar Saheb, the poet from Lucknow who had stayed in Manzil-e-Meem. Baba promised to help him financially.
On the 2nd Baba went to Poona by train, where Vishnu had made arrangements at Sadashiv Patil's. They returned the following day after stopping at Talegaon. On the evening of the 4th, Baba went for a drive to the seaside at Worli in a victoria.
