Another high mast in Ellichpur was Mastak Mian , who was always found sitting on a wall near the entrance to a mosque. Before entering the mosque, the devout Muslims would kiss his hand, and he would mock them, "There is no one in the mosque to hear your prayers! Why do you go there?"
In Tatanagar, Baba contacted Chunni Baba , who would daily eat an odd mixture of two ounces of tobacco mixed with lime. Baba worked with him in an abandoned air-raid shelter. Baba also communed with a mastani called Budhi , who was known for always chewing paan. She was a very tiny, old woman. She offered paan to Baba, which he lovingly accepted and ate during his contact with her.
Finishing his mast tour, Baba returned to Raipur on the 21st (or 22nd) of July 1944.
In April 1944, after meeting Baba at Pimpalgaon, Kaikobad Dastur had returned to Bombay and sold all his possessions in the belief that Baba was about to call him and his family to join the ashram. He saw Baba again at the meeting in June, and had been waiting for Baba's call ever since. But mentally, he was becoming exceedingly restless and running out of patience, and finally decided that he would not join Baba if he were not called by August.
Aware of Kaikobad's state, Baba sent him a telegram to come to Raipur on 26 July 1944. When he arrived, Baba instructed him to immediately return to Bombay, pack everything he owned and move to Meherabad. Baba then sent word to Pendu and Pilamai, who were looking after the affairs of the men and women mandali at Meherabad.
Kaikobad and his family arrived in Meherabad on the night of the 31st and remained for the rest of their lives. Kaikobad's wife, Jerbai, 46, and their three daughters, Meheru, 23, Gulu, 21, and Jalu, 18, were kept with the other women on Meherabad Hill, and Kaikobad stayed in lower Meherabad, in a small cottage that was built for him (on the spot of the old Bathroom Building). His son, Ratan, stayed in Ahmednagar and was given a job at the Sarosh Cinema operating the film projector.
When Baba returned from his mast journey, Jal Kerawalla asked permission to arrange a public darshan in Raipur, and Baba agreed. Jal began making preparations. The program was scheduled for the 6th of August, and Jal invited all the influential citizens of the district.
