That night, as Eruch was sleeping, he woke up and felt some heavy pressure on his chest, as if someone were sitting on his chest trying to choke him, although he could see no one. He struggled to free himself from the invisible intruder, but was unable to and could not utter a sound. He tossed and turned on the floor, sweating profusely, and Baba watched the struggle from his bed.
After a short time, the spirit departed, and Baba asked, "Now, do you believe in ghosts?"
Eruch had learned his lesson and said, "I certainly do now." The next day, he was sent back to Poona. Baba had called him only to give him this experience.
Meanwhile Eruch, Pappa, Sadashiv Patil and Jalbhai had arranged another darshan program in Poona at the Ahilya Ashram hall, on Sunday, 23 April 1944. Baba arrived from Pimpalgaon that morning by car with Adi Sr. and Deshmukh and gave darshan at the hall for one hour, from 2:00 to 3:00 P.M. About 300 bhaktas (lovers) came, mostly Zoroastrians from Bombay, Poona, Nasik and Ahmednagar, most of whom had not seen the Master for years. Many were newcomers who had heard of Baba through the lectures of Manek Mehta, who gave the welcome address.
Chanji attended the program, and later wrote this description to his nieces in Bombay:
All were so happy to see dear Baba after a long period of separation. Although no darshan, no bowing down and no prostration were the specific conditions imposed on all, and Baba sat there facing the gathering quite aloof, the clamor for a mere touch of his skirts [sadra] — if not his person — and the eventual mad rush of all when he arose to leave, were almost too touching and inspiring for description ... The ecstatic smiles of all who rushed through the crowd to have a touch of his hands while he was passing by the crowds in the car, conveyed what the magic of his profound love meant to everyone.
In short, all this happened too perfectly and so unexpectedly that it amply compensated for the three postponements and the deep longing they all had for a month in anxious waiting of the blessed call. It was a scene typical of the love-feasts described in the Bible, revived in our times by the living Christ on Earth.
Baba also visited Baba House to meet Beheram, Perin and their children.
