Baba urged the villagers, "Take the prasad with love, eat it with love and while eating it remember me. In that way the seed of love will be sown in your hearts."
Baba completed the darshan program in two hours, giving his touch to thousands. He then proceeded to Nauranga. At each stop the women of the place would perform Baba's arti. But Baba had been so busy in Dhagwan, they only had a chance to worship him when he was seated in the car, talking with several of the local workers.
Nauranga was the place where those opposed to Baba had breached the canal to prevent Baba's entry into the village in 1952, and Baba was forced to give darshan in Babu Ramprasad's field, seated under a tree. This time the whole village turned out, gathering a quarter of a mile ahead to receive him. Bands were playing and trumpets blared. Wine had sealed the lips of Babu Ramprasad, who was happily standing by, watching the wondrous scene. The entire crowd was shouting Baba's Jai! and he was escorted into Nauranga at the head of a long procession.
"The previous opposition had been transformed and awakened," Age observed. "Wine now flowed through every lane, and the entire populace was singing the Song. The bright rays of Meher Baba's love enveloped the people and their lives were at his feet forever. In the Avatar's divine game, criticism, skepticism and outright antagonism had evolved into sweet praise. Ignorance and darkness had at first engulfed this area and hidden his Light, but the Light burst forth, making Nauranga shine!"
Babu Ramprasad had a brother named Narsingdas, who had profound love for Baba. Narsingdas had renounced life and was leading the life of a hermit. For nine months he had worked, digging an underground room near a well and had built a window in the wall of the well. The steps leading down to the room were shrouded in darkness, and in this underground chamber Narsingdas would meditate on Meher Baba's divinity. On the 5th, Baba descended into the small room, where Gadekar performed his arti.
