When Baba was returning from the village, he noticed that Dhake was lagging behind, walking leisurely. Baba admonished him for his negligence in not doing his duty of always being by Baba's side. Kumar also was faulted for similar laxness occasionally.
Although Baba gave darshan during this journey at nine principal centers, he would invariably stop along the way at different hamlets and remote villages to afford people a chance for his contact. At the small village of Nahdaura 400 people gathered for darshan. The women performed Baba's arti and sang devotional songs, and then, just as his car was about to leave, more women came running. Baba ordered the driver to stop, and sat on the ground waiting for them. One old woman was among the latecomers. Baba touched her head and expressed his love for her. She was murmuring, "Jai, jai, jai!" the whole time.
Later, Baba casually remarked to the mandali, "Something special was behind the contact I gave to that old woman."
The same evening, Baba reached Mahewa, the last stop of his journey, after a very rough ride. (The mandali thought for certain the bus' shock-absorbers would break before they got there!) Mahewa, Keshav Nigam's birthplace, was where a hut had been built in 1952 for Baba, amidst the sylvan, forested surroundings. Keshav had named the place Meherastana .
People in Mahewa were ready for darshan, which Baba gave along with his prasad.
While giving darshan he remarked, "It is a matter of great good luck that my darshan tour finishes here."
He then left for his hut, Meherastana. There Baba instructed that since this was the last day of his darshan programs in Hamirpur, all the men accompanying him should keep awake that night from 9:00 P.M. to 4:30 A.M., and qawaali singing by Aziz Qawaal was arranged to help them. In addition, Baba ordered coffee served two or three times during the night. Leading workers from different villages of the district gathered, and the night proved to be of great significance for Age.
The program started that night at nine o'clock, and as bhajans and qawaalis were being sung, an argument broke out. The quarrel was between Pendu and Kumar. Kumar had asked those coming not to place their shoes and sandals in front of the door because they blocked the way, but people had ignored him.
