Nilu and Goher nursed Baba day and night, taking special care to see that the area was kept absolutely clean so it would not become infected. Dr. Kataria came to Poona and examined Baba again on Sunday, 29 April and then returned to Bombay.
Baba continued his seclusion in Mahabaleshwar, and at the same time settled the question of moving to Hyderabad. Bungalows there were rented for him in the Jubilee Hills area. Baba decided to hold meetings at the end of June about what he called his "God-determined Step." On 1 May, letters were sent to many of his lovers inviting them to Hyderabad for the meetings — some for ten days, some for seven and some for three days.
Regarding the purpose of the meetings, Baba had written: "To enable you to come within the field-limits of my association for the period."
Adi Sr. drove Baba to Bombay with the women (Mehera, Mani, Meheru, Goher and Naja) on Saturday, 5 May 1951 and stayed at Ashiana. They stopped briefly on the way at Bindra House, where Baba permitted his darshan to Pappa, Kaka Chinchorkar and Piloo and Dorab Satha. They collected a packed lunch, which they ate under a tree in a field past Kirkee. (Adi ate in the car).
Nilu went by train. Adi and Nilu stayed at Meherjee's, and Nilu came to Ashiana every day to do Baba's dressing (for piles). For the first time since embarking on his New Life a year and a half before, the next day, Baba met Soonamasi and Khorshed in Bombay at Meherjee's home, where they were residing. They told Baba they now wished to live in their own apartment independently and move from Meherjee's. Baba consented. Kitty and Rano were also residing at Meherjee's, but Baba did not see them, and nothing concerning their future was decided then.
Aloba had taken a job as the manager of the Diamond Restaurant in Worli. One morning around 6:30, Adi drove Baba to visit him. Aloba worked long hours, until late at night, so he was asleep when Baba came. Adi went inside and woke him, and Aloba hurriedly ran downstairs to meet Baba, who was waiting in the car.
In Poona, Habibullah Baig had become close friends with Gadekar and Ghani. Ghani would always talk to him about Baba, impressing upon him, "Always remember, Baba is God!" Being a Muslim, Habibullah at first found this difficult to believe, but because of his experience of Baba's divine love, he gradually came to accept it wholeheartedly.
