Baba kept handing out the prasad with both hands, but the crowd kept pressing forward. At this sudden onslaught, Waman Subnis cried emotionally, "See Baba's miracle! Look at the miracle of Baba! This is nothing but a miracle! Otherwise, it could never have happened! How could so many have come?"
A poor woman, though young and strong, fainted after receiving prasad, and Baba held her for a while. Subnis took her to a room, where she recovered. Baba allowed her to sit near him on the stage. Ten minutes later, he again gave her prasad, instructing her to eat it then and there. Overcome with emotion, she was led out of the crowd with much difficulty.
The number of people coming for darshan continued to increase, and all efforts by the management and police to keep them under control failed. As Kishan Singh related: "The rising enthusiasm of the masses and their eagerness to see Baba made all orderly arrangements impossible." Baba was handing out prasad as quickly as he could, but the crowd was frantic. It was feared that the people in line would push the people ahead, making them fall upon Baba. Trying to make the crowd stand in line proved totally unsuccessful, and there was the threat of women and children being trampled. Baba was therefore taken to a side room, from which he gave darshan and prasad. The mandali and police formed people into a queue. Women were first and went inside one by one. After receiving prasad, they were ushered out a back door. Then the men were given their chance.
Baba had originally allowed only two hours for the Sangamner darshan, but there was no lessening of the sea of humanity even after four hours of continuous distribution. People from neighboring villages had also come, so Baba touched the remaining prasad to be distributed. Escaping out the back door, he took his seat in the car.
The head of a nearby orphanage for boys entreated Baba to visit it, and at noon Baba went there. Preparations for his coming had already been made, and Baba gave prasad to the 85 children, and met the man in charge and his family. Baba was about to depart when it was found that hundreds of people had gathered outside the orphanage.
