Baba accepted his prayer, and touched a stone which Babu had brought for the foundation. Thus Meher Dham was established in Nauranga, where the opposition had been the greatest. In fact, Meher Dham came into being from the heart-blood of the Avatar's closest lovers there, who left nothing undone in serving his cause. Babu's brother, Narsingdas Ramprasad, had dedicated his very life to Baba's cause. And due to the hard labor he had done, Narsingdas fell ill and passed away soon after Baba's visit. But he was blessed, dying with Baba's name on his lips.
Pukar placed his printing press in Mahoba at Baba's service. He wanted to begin publishing a magazine dedicated to Baba, and Baba appointed a committee consisting of Pukar, Keshav, Sripat Sahai, Bhavani Prasad, Gaya Prasad and Laxmichand Paliwal, who was made chairman. After a few months the Hindi magazine Meher Pukar (Meher's Call) came into being.
On completion of darshan in Mahoba, Baba went to the village of Kabrai. At five o'clock, he gave darshan at the Akhand Junior High School at Gauhari. One of the teachers, Rudra Pratap, gave a welcome address, and Baba dictated the following message:
When the fully-grown, fully-conscious man becomes childlike, desireless and lustless, he comes nearer to God. When I am among children, I feel myself to be a child. When I am among the poor, I feel no one is poorer than me. When I am among rich and influential people, I feel I am Emperor of all.
For you students, two things are necessary — honesty and humility. By humility, I do not mean modesty, but that humility which spreads greatness. So if you students realize this much, then the purpose of my being among you is served.
I give my blessings to you all.
Baba left for Mahewa and on the way stopped at the village of Khanna. He had arrived early, and consequently there were only a few people waiting for him at the spot they had selected for giving darshan. But as soon as Baba's car was parked, his presence was announced by the beat of a drum (the customary village method of summoning people to assemble). Baba himself walked straight into the interior of the village and sat down on a raised platform outside the house of Ramnath Sonar, where he gave darshan freely to one and all.
He spelled on the alphabet board, "Instead of your coming to me, I myself have come to you."
