During Baba's stay in Bombay, he and the mandali were taken to a theater, where they were shown the film Chhabra had shot at Meherabad during the sahavas. The footage turned out quite well and Baba was pleased. After receiving the visas from the American Consulate, Baba and the mandali returned to Meherazad on the 15th.
Three days later, on 18 March, several "newcomers" came to meet Baba at Meherazad. After they were introduced to him, Baba observed:
As a rule, an introduction is something that is required between people not acquainted with one another. Such an introduction is not felt essential when there is a give and take of love between persons concerned, for the heart needs no introduction. A mutual affinity can spring up between complete strangers, followed by a sense of recognition and closeness that produces a feeling of having known one another before. This feeling is based on their past connection of sanskaras in previous lives.
No one requires an introduction to me, for no one is a stranger to me. However, I am a stranger to most, and those coming and remaining in my presence do not do so without an introduction. As a matter of fact, they have come with many introductions — these being their past sanskaras linking them with me from previous lives. All these "introductions" are their introduction to me this time.
On Wednesday, 19 March 1958, accompanied by the women mandali, Baba went to Poona, where their accommodation was again provided by Dadi Kerawala in Ganeshkhind. Eruch, Bhau and Savak joined them.
Bhaskara Raju of Andhra was an art teacher, and as mentioned previously, he and his brother had made a chart on God Speaks , and had laid it at Baba's feet during the February sahavas at Meherabad. After the meeting, Baba had the chart taken to Meherazad and hung on the wall in mandali hall. That morning before leaving Poona, he instructed Eruch to take the chart with them, so that it could be studied thoroughly and possibly corrected if necessary.
The Poona lovers came to Ganeshkhind on the morning of the 20th and gave a bhajan performance for Baba.
Gaimai Jessawala's sister, Banumasi Kerawala, had two sons, Dadi and Sam. Their first cousin Roshan belonged to the Satha family of Ahmednagar. Roshan's brother, Naval, and sister, Dhun, were crippled with muscular dystrophy, but Baba had promised that Roshan would not suffer from the disease.
