That day, Mauni Bua, who had observed silence for the past fourteen years in a secluded place in Andhra, was called to Satara. Baba asked him to utter the prayerful words "Om Parabrahma Paramatma" and break his silence in his presence, which he did. Baba ordered him to repeat the same words "Om Parabrahma Paramatma" for 40 days and nights. Thereafter, he was to give up the silence and begin speaking normally. But because Mauni Bua was ardent to continue his silence, Baba eventually permitted him to do so.

A dhobi (laundryman) with his wife and children were residing near Grafton. The family would quarrel constantly, and after calling the members concerned, Baba would sit them in front of him and pacify them. Although he was not seeing anyone at this time, this poor dhobi's family was reaping a rich harvest of his company. The man had fourteen children, and the arguments were mostly between him and his elder sons. Once, after a quarrel between father and son, Baba sent for both. The father told Baba, "If you order me, I am ready to go at this moment to Pandharpur dressed only in a loincloth! Is this not the meaning of obedience? If you instruct this good-for-nothing son of mine to go there, see if he goes or not!" Baba was much amused by their ways, and during the Satara stay, the family had the privilege of his contact practically every day. By Baba's instructions, Goher also had to treat the whole family in case anyone got sick.

Unbeknownst, another doctor of sorts was also treating people in Satara. Years ago in Iran, Baidul acted as a doctor and used to cure those afflicted by invoking Baba's name and intervention, and then administering boiled garlic oil. In Satara, he would sit under a tree away from their bungalow on watch, and 70 to 80 persons would daily come for treatment. Baidul would quickly dispense with his patients, giving the same homeopathic medicine to every person (no matter what the ailment was!) and return to Rosewood within half an hour. Residing near Rosewood was a Christian civil surgeon, Dr. A. E. Fernandes, whose young son was much troubled by a chronic throat ailment. The surgeon had done his utmost to cure the boy, but to no effect. One day Baidul visited the family, and the doctor's wife told him about her son's affliction. Baidul immediately gave his "medicine" to the boy, and amazingly the boy recovered in a few days. August 5th was Pendu's birthday. That evening, the mandali were sitting in Rosewood wondering how to celebrate it. Their daily fare consisted of plain rice and dal in the afternoon, and a vegetable and chapati in the evening. Since nothing special could be cooked without Baba's permission, food was not considered. Instead, they decided to enact a humorous play for Pendu. Unannounced, a servant from Dr. Fernandes appeared carrying a box full of freshly made sweets. He inquired, "Where is the Doctor Saheb?" Nilu and Don were pointed out, but the man said, "No, no, the other doctor who visits the civil surgeon." Since no one knew of Baidul's secret activity, they did not know whom he meant. At that moment Baidul entered the room, and the man said, "Here is the man. I wanted this doctor. His treatment has proven beneficial to my employer's son. He has sent this for him." The quantity of sweets was sufficient for everyone, and Pendu's birthday was joyously observed. The civil surgeon's trust in Baidul was so great that at times he would take him to the hospital in his car to examine a patient not responding to his own treatment. Soon after this incident, Baba had Baidul stop acting as a doctor. Baidul's power was not in his medicine, but in his taking Baba's name whenever he treated someone who was afflicted. At this time, Baba agreed to give darshan in Bombay. Regarding those coming for his darshan, Baba sent word to Adi Sr. to have a board painted with this quote from his Life Circular Number 25 (which had been issued on 1 May 1955):

Accordingly, Adi Sr. had the board prepared and sent to Satara. Baba instructed Bhau that during the Bombay darshan program, he should wear the sign around his neck and display it prominently as people arrived. Baba left Satara for Bombay, early in the morning on Saturday, 13 August 1955, accompanied by Eruch, Pendu, Bhau and Aloba. On his way, Baba stopped for a while at Gadekar's home in Poona (at 24-B Bombay-Poona Road). Jalbhai was there waiting to proceed to Bombay and joined them. Because of his duties, Bhau had not been able to have his tea in Satara before leaving, so Baba asked him to have it at Gadekar's. Gadekar's wife, Gunatai, served tea to all, after which Baba had a few words with Gadekar in a separate room. Gunatai had also prepared food which she offered to Bhau. Remembering Baba's orders, Bhau declined, but Aloba willingly accepted and ate it. When he was doing so, Baba appeared and reacted angrily. He rebuked Aloba severely.
