Then Mansingh Thapa's daughter, Shyama, sang an entertaining song which Baba applauded.
C. B. Vyas, of the Airfreight Company of Bombay, took Baba's darshan. Through him, arrangements had been made for two special trains to carry the sahavas groups when they departed from Meherabad (one for the current Hindi-Marathi group and one for the next group).
The Poona bhajan group continued the music for a while and they ended with Baba's arti. Baba was absorbed, his fingers moving briskly. After the arti, Baba permitted Godavri Mai to leave. Concerning the taking of group photographs the next day, Baba reaffirmed his decision to allow it only with the women, and stated he would leave for Meherazad afterwards at 11:30 A.M. The men and women attending the sahavas were also to leave, so before coming to the pandal the following day, Baba instructed they should have their luggage packed and ready.
Some of the men and women were ill with influenza, and at 5:45 P.M., Baba was carried in his lift-chair to see them. He had instructed the sahavas group not to follow him. Baba was first taken to the women's tent nearby, where he met and comforted those who were sick. Next, he went to the men's tent and instructed the doctors on duty to give proper treatment. Dr. Kanakadandi and Dr. Ranade were looking after the men. Naggu had arranged for a close friend of hers, a fellow female doctor from Bombay, to care for any ill women, so that Naggu could attend the sahavas. Don was supervising and assisting the doctors.
After visiting the sick, Baba went to his cabin and sent for Bhau. Bhau was in a quandary; the burden of attending to the sick had fallen on him. He had no idea how the daily programs were going, because day and night he had to look after numerous matters and to provide special diets for those who were ill.
Baba asked him about the patients, and he replied, "Baba, I don't know what to do. All have to leave tomorrow and a few have temperatures of 104°. How can we look after so many?"
"Why don't you accept Pukar's help?" Baba suggested.
"What help will Pukar give?" Bhau asked, somewhat irritably. "He is always following you around!"
So Baba sent for Pukar, and when he came, Baba asked Bhau, "If I order you, would you kill Sheela and Mehernath?"
