In Pamaru Village, Mauna Swami had arranged a darshan for about 500 people, who were gathered in a tent.
Going there Baba stated: "I give you all my blessings and will now touch the prasad which will have my love in it."
After two girls had sung a song, Baba left, reaching Masulipatnam at 10:15 A.M. He was grandly received at P. Lokanadha Rao's house, and the whole family was there to meet Baba. After food was served, Baba repaired to M. S. R. Sastri's home. Sastri was a lawyer, and his family performed Baba's arti. He beseeched Baba to perform the opening ceremony of the new Meher Center in Masulipatnam, which Baba did at 11:30 A.M. by garlanding and bowing down to his own autographed photograph.
Baba stated: "I find no one to bow down to except me because I find myself in everything. My coming physically here and opening this center would be of avail if you all make me yours, as you already eternally are mine. This center would be worth its name if it could spread my message of love by making people understand that God is the only Reality. Baba gives his blessings to you all."
The center leaders then performed Baba's arti, and before giving out prasad Baba warned, "If anyone bows down to me, I will go away."
Baba distributed prasad to all at Sastri's home, and then he went to the Sai Samaj Orphanage at noon. The woman running the institution, Mrs. Yerraprole Satya Narayanamma, introduced several of the children to Baba. They sang songs and Baba accompanied them on a tiny drum. Mrs. Narayanamma gave Baba a glass of fruit juice which, after drinking a little, he handed back to her to drink.
After this, Baba returned to Lokanadha Rao's, where many had gathered to meet him, and he chatted with them. After lunch at 3:00 P.M., he proceeded to the darshan tent at the Municipal Town Hall, where people were awaiting his arrival while sweet devotional music was being played. Baba was received with shouts of his Jai!
He praised the shehnai player and at four o'clock stated: "I feel very happy to hear this music. It reminds me of the First Song that was sung ages ago, and that Song produced this phenomenon called the universe.
"God will make me soon break my silence, and that First Original Song will be sung again. Then the world will realize that God alone is real and every one of us is eternally one with God."
