The fiery mood of the Qutub was altered completely upon this young man's arrival, as if the youth had brought the Master some joyous news. This individual was no stranger to Tajuddin Baba, however. He was the same Zoroastrian kissed by Babajan and whom Narayan Maharaj had greeted royally. The young man indeed brought good news to Tajuddin that day - news that he was preparing to accept the spiritual charge from the Taj, assuming the Crown of Creation! Later this youth was referred to by Tajuddin as the "Heavenly Rose."
Age was watching and knew now that this young man was the Awakener.
Around 1920, Tajuddin returned to Shakkardara, Raja Bhosle's bungalow in Nagpur, though he would frequently return to Vaki Shariff. He would roam in the Raja's tonga on excursions to the outskirts of the city. Raja Bhosle did everything possible in serving Tajuddin, trying his utmost to please his Master always.
Tajuddin Baba enjoyed qawaalis — Persian and Urdu devotional songs to God. On one occasion at the raja's palace, a famous singer from Delhi named Janaki came to Nagpur and wished to sing for the "saint." The distinguished lady was brought to the palace, but immediately upon seeing her, Tajuddin shouted, "Take that bitch away! She thinks she can charm me like other worldly people with the sweetness of her voice. Get her out of my sight!"
The woman was shocked and Raja Bhosle had her promptly removed. Tajuddin was aflame; he ordered his tonga to be brought then left for the riverside. It was raining heavily and the ground had turned to mud. Oblivious to the damp conditions, Tajuddin alighted and walked to the river's edge. There he sat contentedly by the flowing water. After a few minutes, he told his disciples, "Tell that singer from Delhi that if she is willing, she can come here and sing for me."
Janaki was informed accordingly and she unhesitatingly complied, grateful at this unexpected opportunity she had despaired was lost. She was taken in a tonga to the river where, in spite of her beautiful silk sari, she waded through the mud and sat on a patch of wet ground near the Qutub. She sang for almost three hours in the splendor of the moonlight. Tajuddin then blessed her and sent her away. Janaki knew well that the Master, by going to the riverside and testing whether she would go there, was letting her understand that it was he who was honoring her by allowing her to sing in his presence.
