Naja had been staying with Arnavaz and Nariman since October. Aloba, Baidul and Murli were placed in charge of the kitchen department. Eruch was directed to look after the women's requirements. In Ghani's absence, Nilu was to write the daily diary, and also monitor Kaka's health until Don returned. Aloba, Baidul, Murli, Nilu, Pendu, Sadashiv and Vishnu were to take one-hour turns of guard duty near the women's quarters.
Because there were three "Kekis," (namely Kaikobad Dastur, Nalavala and Desai), to avoid confusion Baba gave them three different names: Kaikobad became Keko , Nalavala became Keka , and Desai remained Keki .
Late that evening "Keka" Nalavala, Elcha Mistry and Burjor Chacha came to see Baba.
Baba informed them: "I have stopped accepting bhiksha from anyone in a big lot as I did in the past from Todi Singh, Harjiwan Lal and Kishan Singh. Bhiksha in this manner looks like a compromise between the Old and New Life.
"You may come to see me whenever you like," Baba added, "but do not bring any visitors with you for darshan."
During this period, Jagannath N. Hellan and Virendra Pandey were also allowed to visit Baba, as was Jamnadas, the Mahant of the village. Jamnadas was a respected local zamindar (landowner), an educated, highly intellectual individual.
Kumar was a daily visitor. He and his family came close to Baba and began dedicating their lives to his cause. Leaving everything behind, Kumar was eager to join the New Life, but Baba ordered him to wait, because he still had much work to do.
On 22 January Kishan Singh of Delhi had sent many things for the companions with his friend Prakashwati Sharma's mother and Kishan's son Madan. Keeping only a few of the items — such as sheets, towels, et cetera — Baba returned the rest (such as shaving articles and a watch) with instructions that Kishan should not send any more things.
Was Deo Kain of Delhi also wished to bring certain articles for their use. According to Baba's decision not to accept anything other than what was absolutely necessary after 25 January, he did not wish Kain's bhiksha, but considering the man's devotion and deep feelings, Baba eventually did accept his offer.
On 27 January 1950, Don left for Meherabad to bring back certain items, and then went to Bombay to bring Naja and to purchase necessary medicines and equipment he would need for his dispensary in Dehra Dun.
The following evening, Baba paid a visit to the Manjri Mafi property to visit with Kaikobad and to inspect the progress of the work.
