Bhau protested, "I don't wish to go anywhere. Besides, what good will it do if I go there? What could I do?"
Baba reprimanded him, "Either go to Nauranga or go back to your home with your bag and baggage!"
That was not a difficult choice, and Bhau agreed to go to Nauranga.
Baba exhorted him, "Convey my love to all there," and he promised, "I will come with you."
Bhau took a train from Satara and arrived in Kanpur on 21 January. True to his word, it seemed as if Baba had really accompanied him to Hamirpur. Programs were arranged at different places in the district, and Bhau felt Baba's presence with him throughout this fortnight. One incident particularly convinced him. Bhau had asked Baba for some message, and Baba had instead instructed him to ask the villagers to sing this five-word chant: "Satchitananda, Paramananda, Meher Baba Vidnyanand."
Bhau wondered: "Will people there be satisfied with this?" But when he arrived in Hamirpur and gave the line to Keshav Nigam, Keshav repeated it to the musicians, who composed a tune within five minutes. Thereafter, in every small hamlet and town, this line was sung and chanted over and over again, until it seemed to take on a life of its own! Its melody wafted through the air like a cool breeze.
Just as Bhau was leading the procession across the bridge into Nauranga, he suddenly experienced that it was Meher Baba, not himself, in the vanguard. He no longer existed; it was Baba walking in the form of Bhau's body! Bhau performed the foundation-laying ceremony in Nauranga and then, on 7 February, returned to Satara. A Meher Temple was built on the spot some years later, and Adi Sr. was sent for its inauguration. At that time, Baba named it Meher Dham , meaning the House or Abode of Meher.
Meanwhile, on 20 January 1955, Baba went to Khuldabad with Eruch, Pendu and Baidul in the Vauxhall. Chhagan was called from Ahmednagar and met them there. Baba worked in seclusion daily in the dargah of Hazrat Zarzari Zar Baksh, as well as in other tombs, and the mandali would keep a strict watch all around so that even the sound of a chirping bird would not be heard by Baba.
After remaining in Khuldabad for five days, Baba went to Meherazad, where he met Kaka and Krishnaji. Kaka had many complaints against Krishnaji, who was not following Baba's instructions.
