First: As soon as Baba steps in a place, he will first take darshan of the masts and saints of that place.
Second: Baba will bow down to seven poor persons, and before this, he will wash their feet and feed them.
Third: At the time of mass darshan, first Baba will bow down to the masses, and then people can bow down to him, perform his arti, garland him, et cetera.
Baba emphasized: "In case the persons in charge of the mass darshan programs think that it will be difficult for them to observe these points, they should clearly and openly say so. All these three points will have to be observed; otherwise, it will be absolutely wrong to fix the programs — better to cancel them."
All agreed to abide by Baba's instructions, and the dates of darshan were re-discussed and finalized. Someone from the north asked, "Will you be giving special messages to the masses?"
Baba replied: "Yes, and you can collect these from Adi and print them in the form of a booklet or as leaflets — whatever is convenient for you — for distributing to the public. If you cannot print these messages, don't worry; people will have my darshan and that is enough.
"But remember one thing: No one should request an individual interview with me. If I call anyone, that is a different matter. As for any extra explanations or discourses, it all depends on my hukki [whim] of the moment.
A group head from Hamirpur asked Baba if he would visit small villages.
Baba replied, "I will go wherever you take me with love. I will not mind traveling in a bullock cart."
With a smile he reminisced, "Once on one of the mast tours in a remote area, Baidul hired an old cart. The dirt road was bumpy and the cart driver was a very enthusiastic person. He drove the bullocks in such a way that when we reached the destination and got down, I felt shaken up for five minutes!"
Baba added, "I hope you will not hire such a vehicle or driver!"
Looking at the Andhra group, Baba continued, "Dhanapathy Rao and Ranga Rao will be in charge of the darshan programs in the West Godavri district. I will even visit the Godavri River if they take me there."
Mudaliar Vadivelu asked if Baba would also visit Madras.
Baba looked at the old man lovingly and replied, "Dear Vadivelu, you have brought with you the whole of Madras; so don't worry about my going there in person."
