"It has nothing to do with you. The accident had to happen and it has happened. I had told you all there would be a personal calamity. Why should you feel so sad about it?"
"But you will be crippled for life! You won't be able to walk. We have seen you walk so fast that we had to run after you. Where is that now? All gone!
"Who says that?"
"The greatest surgeon in the world. Don and all the other doctors say it."
And so Eruch mentally suffered with such thoughts. One day Don came to Meherazad and while glancing through a novel called King Jesus (by Robert Graves), he came across a passage that claimed Jesus had a limp. When Eruch read this he was somewhat reconciled by the fact that even Jesus had to suffer in a similar manner.
On 6 November 1957, Pukar and his family, along with Bhavani Prasad, Paliwal, Bishambar and Anguri Gupta, Keshav Nigam and several others from Hamirpur and Delhi, including Thirumala Rao with his family, came for Baba's darshan. Mungalal of Nauranga had also come, but he had become like a mast and was behaving strangely. Once in a fit of emotion he jumped into a well. On the way to Meherazad, Mungalal had gotten off the train at the wrong station, and Pukar had to get off at Rahuri and go back and bring him on another train. Because of his state, Baba had called him to Meherazad, and after meeting Baba, Mungalal regained his senses.
Kishan Singh came the following day and Jalbhai and Ramjoo arrived on the 9th. Eruch's cousin Meheru Damania of Akbar Press was engaged to be married soon. Meheru had been in Baba's contact since her childhood and had been named by Baba. Unfortunately, her sister Khorshed (Eruch's wife) had become involved with Mirchandani. Baba called the family to Meherazad on 15 November, where he spoke with them for two hours, reminding them of his recent warning about false gurus. He informed them that if Mirchandani attended Meheru's wedding, the Bindra House family would not be permitted by Baba to attend.
The next day, five elderly Pimpalgaon villagers were brought to Meherazad. Baba bowed at their feet and gave each Rs.51 as prasad.
On 23 November the Jessawalas came to Meherazad with Banumasi and Dadi Kerawala, as did Nariman and Siganporia. The next morning, Sunday, 24 November 1957, Baba drove to Meherabad in Sarosh's car with Harry, Nariman and Eruch. Jalbhai and Savak went with Adi. There was a darshan/bhajan program for the Arangaon followers, followed by a tour of Meherabad for Kenmore. On the way back to Meherazad, Baba had the car stopped by Akbar Press, where he met those who had come for the wedding.
