The next day, Baba was driven to Poona by Sarosh accompanied by Pendu, Ghani and Jal Kerawalla. They stayed at Bindra House and Baba met the Jessawalas, as well as his brothers Jalbhai and Beheram, and Beheram's wife Perin and their children.
Meanwhile, in Bombay, Naoroji Dadachanji's sixteen-year old son Tehemtan had contracted typhoid in the middle of July and had been taken to the hospital. His condition at first did not seem serious and improved somewhat with medication. His sister, Arnavaz, whom Baba had advised to study nursing, looked after him. Although Tehemtan did not want to take his medicine, she would tell him, "Baba wants you to drink it," whereupon he would dutifully swallow it. She wrote to Baba, "In his illness, he is thinking of you the whole time. He sings to himself your arti, and your sweet name is ever ready on the tip of his tongue."
When Chanji had seen Baba in Lahore on 30 July, Baba had remarked to him, "I am going to call Tehemtan to me. Don't worry. It is for his own good that he should be called to Eternal Life, while he is still pure and unstained by the impurities of the world."
Tehemtan had always loved Baba dearly, since their first meeting when he was only four months old in 1927. On the afternoon of 3 August, Tehemtan died. He was Bachamai and Naoroji's eldest son and they, of course, felt very sad about his unexpected demise. They came to Poona to meet Baba, who consoled them. They told him with tears, "An astrologer had told us that Tehemtan would be an accomplished engineer or doctor."
