Adi Sr. arrived at Mahabaleshwar for instructions on 17 April, along with Ramjoo, Dhake, Vishnu and Sadashiv Patil. Don was also there. Kishan Singh was called from the 20th for ten days, and Meherwan Jessawala and his cousin Dadi Kerawala for three days (20th, 21st, and 22nd). Nariman, Arnavaz, Katie and Jim Mistry joined the group for a few days, and later Khorshed joined them.
The local residents were pestering Kohiyar to ask Baba to give darshan, and so on the last day of Baba's stay, Tuesday, 29 April 1958, Baba gave darshan in Shapoor Hall. About 300 people took advantage of it, including the Maharaja of Bhor and his family, and some maharanis (queens) who were vacationing in Mahabaleshwar. That day, Meherjee was there with his daughters, Pervin and Mehernaz. Sadashiv also came from Poona.
Baba was to leave for Guruprasad the next day. He instructed his close ones that they should depart for Poona by the luxury bus, and he would follow by car with both mandali. The next morning, they went to the bus stand, where they happened to find an empty taxicab. Sadashiv said if they went by taxi, they would arrive in Poona before Baba. Meherjee agreed, but Khorshed and Deshmukh reminded them of Baba's advice to travel by bus. Sadashiv was still in favor of going by taxi, and in the end they left in one.
Baba left Mahabaleshwar for Poona by car, and on the way spotted the slow-moving taxi. He arrived at Guruprasad, where he waited for the others, but they did not turn up. Baba frequently asked about them, and at last they arrived. The taxi had broken down on the way. They had had to stand in the hot sun for hours, but the taxi could not be repaired. It was towed to Poona by a gasoline tanker, where it arrived seven hours late.
Baba remarked to them, "I had told you to travel by bus. Why did you go by taxi? Because of your lack of attention to my instruction, you had to unnecessarily undergo this hardship."
Baba stayed in Guruprasad for two weeks. On 2 May Adi Sr. arrived for further instructions. He took Kaikobad back to Meherabad the same evening. That day, Baba's brother Beheram brought his prospective son-in-law, Jehangir Manchershaw Sukhadwalla (nicknamed Jehangu ), 25, to Guruprasad to meet Baba for the first time. Baba liked Jehangu very much and approved of his marriage with Beheram's daughter Gulnar.
On 3 May, Baba dictated another short message for those in America, stating that he would give the sahavas as planned, regardless of his poor physical condition, which daily included a low-grade fever that had an unknown cause.
