Then his face brightened, and he added, "But soon everything will be all right and as planned."
Don was sent back to Meherabad on the 28th to administer to Pendu. He would pay weekly visits to Poona to see Baba, and Baba would also write to him and send instructions about Pendu's treatment.
One day Baba told Bhau, "Listen carefully to what I say. Don't argue and just accept what I tell you."
Baba said, "You have been with me for several years, while [your wife] Rama and the children are hundreds of miles away. When I saw them at Saint Mira's [High School], I felt much for them. Their love touched me. Now I want Rama and the children to stay nearby, where they will occasionally be able to have my contact. You are with me day and night, and you have no connection with them, but it is my connection and I will care for them."
Adi Sr. was called on 2 and 3 May. Baba discussed with Adi whether the Kalchuris should be accommodated at Meherabad or Ahmednagar. Baba decided to consult Vishnu before deciding, and Vishnu was summoned on the 5th. It was decided the family should stay at the Family Quarters at Meherabad. Accordingly, Bhau wrote to Rama's brother Dhiraj and Nana Kher, and a few weeks later Rama, Sheela and Mehernath were brought to Meherabad to stay permanently in the Family Quarters. As ordered by Baba, Padri began looking after them, and thus Bhau's family also had the opportunity to stay near Baba.
Baidul was called to Guruprasad from Meherazad on 14 May 1957. That day, Baba sent the women mandali to pay their respects at Babajan's tomb.
Maya Ganguli, a blind teenage girl (about 15), had sung before Baba during the darshan program at Saint Mira High School in March. She was a very good singer, and Baba liked her voice. One day the girl and her parents came to see Baba in Guruprasad. She sang before Baba again, and after the program Baba asked what had happened to her eyes. Her parents explained to Baba about her blindness.
Baba asked the girl whether she would follow specific instructions he would give her. In the hope of recovering her sight, Maya Ganguli and her parents readily agreed. Baba asked her to partially fast for three months, consuming only milk and bananas. The girl accepted Baba's order and took it very seriously. She began the diet, but after several weeks the parents began to worry because the girl was growing weak.
