The next morning, Tuesday, 23 February 1954, K.D.R.M. and others arrived, but Katta Subba Rao had locked the gates to his house and only those whom he allowed could enter. Baba ordered that they be kept open and those who had gathered came inside. Baba met them all with love. While a brass band played, people took turns approaching Baba. The women who came to meet Baba would place their babies on his feet, and Baba would kiss them.
On completion of the morning darshan, K. Narayan Rao recited the Master's Prayer in English, and one of the workers repeated it in Telugu. Some pundits recited shlokas in Baba's praise, after which, Baba came out at 8:30 and sat on the lawn.
Children were playing there as the men and women stood somberly before Baba.
He stated: "Apparently, I keep silent, but it appears I like noise, and that is why I make all this noise through you [pointing in the direction of the children from where noise was coming], not allowing anyone to speak out his heart. So I will go back if you all keep silence and let the program proceed as arranged. If not, let's all sit here and make as much noise as possible, because I like noise here, but not there [in the hall]."
Concluding, Baba stated, "It is Baba who speaks through you all. It is Baba who hears through you all."
This stopped all the noise inside the building. Returning to the hall, Baba took his seat. Dr. Kanakadandi gave a musical performance, which Baba appreciated.
At 9:35 A.M. Baba stated, "Before the end of the year, God will make me sing the First Original Song, and those who love me will be lost in that Song and find me to be in everyone."
Ramjoo read out the Vijayawada messages.
Afterwards, Baba observed: "When I break my silence, the greatest miracle of all times will happen. Be worthy to receive the divine grace at that moment, and for that be prepared now to receive my love. I really am, and always was, the slave of my real lovers."
Many had tears in their eyes after Baba mentioned his First Original Song. They were greatly affected, and a Swami Sitaram began dancing. Baba picked up one of the musical instruments and began playing it. Sitaram danced for quite a while and sat down only when Baba stopped playing.
