Gadekar sang the arti, and Baba asked Abdul Majid Khan to help him up. He grabbed Baba's arm and tried to lift him, but was himself pulled down toward Baba and was barely saved from falling. Baba proceeded toward the car. Gustadji was standing next to it, and before taking his seat, Baba looked at him three times. As the car departed for Meherazad, the sahavas group hailed him.
On Wednesday, 30 November 1955, Baba arrived from Meherazad at about 7:30 A.M. One of the gardeners had splendidly decorated Baba's couch in the pandal with flowers to look like a small boat, and hung an umbrella of flowers overhead. The son-in-law of Madhav Rao Misal had also fashioned a crown for Baba.
After conferring with the mandali for a while in his cabin, Baba stepped out. Immediately, Madhav Rao's son-in-law garlanded him and placed the crown on his head. Baba looked wonderful and resembled paintings of Lord Krishna. Dr. Deshmukh ran to bring his camera and took pictures from different angles.
Entering the hall, Baba jauntily tilted the crown at a rakish angle and asked, "How do I look?"
All were overjoyed at seeing him in a crown of flowers, and there was a burst of laughter and applause.
Deshmukh went on snapping pictures, and Baba remarked, "In Andhra, Deshmukh took almost 50 photographs of me. In the end, he discovered his camera was not loaded!"
