Unfortunately, the equipment was not working properly that day, so Baba had to return to Meherazad untreated.
On the 13th, Yeshwant Rao of Sakori met Baba at Meherazad. Baba informed him of the mass darshan tour, and instructed him to join him and the mandali for one month from 5 November.
On Monday, 15 September, Baba and the women proceeded to Poona in Nariman's green Oldsmobile. Adi Sr. drove Naja, Goher, Don and Krishna in his own car. Baba and the women stayed in a villa on Karve Road called Amar Jyoti , which belonged to a Mr. Patankar. The house had first been spotted by Eruch and then arranged by Pappa and Meherwan Jessawala. Their meals came from Bindra House. Don had arranged for Dr. Kapila at the Poona military hospital to give diathermy treatments to Baba, and he took Baba there every day. Baba stayed two weeks in Poona for the treatment. A few times in between treatments, he visited Bindra House where a darshan program was held on Sunday, 21 September. Nearly 500 persons attended. Gadekar gave some introductory remarks.
Baba would also discuss with Adi Sr., Eruch and Pendu, the list of those to be invited to a special November meeting at Meherabad. Aloba was called from Bombay and was told to join Baba on the mass darshan tour. Baba also visited with Jalbhai and Beheram's family at Baba House before returning to Meherazad on 1 October
Adi Sr. had meanwhile sent out circular-letters inquiring whether those concerned were ready to participate in complete surrenderance in Baba's Fiery Free Life. The circular read:
In the cause of God, and entirely in the interest of spiritual life, Baba desires to know whether it will or will not be possible for you to act upon the items, as enumerated in the attached letter form, which you should fill in, sign and send to Meher Baba, c/o Adi K. Irani, King's Road, Ahmednagar, by October 1, 1952.
The attached letter, which they were to fill out and return, was:
