On Saturday, 14 June 1958, after a four-day visit to Poona, Baba returned to Meherazad in Meherjee's car, driven by Homa Dadachanji. The mandali rode with Adi Sr. Baba visited Meherabad practically daily from the 15th, instructing Pendu, Padri and Vishnu about arrangements for the 10 July meeting.
Homa stayed at Meherazad at this time to drive Baba. His leg had been operated upon, and consequently he could not sit on the ground or squat in the toilet. So he hit upon a novel stratagem whenever he felt the urge to evacuate his bowels. After letting Baba off at Meherabad, he would drive a distance away, answer the call of nature while standing in a field and then return. Once, on his way back to Meherabad, he was caught in a shower of rain and the car got stuck in the mud. With the utmost difficulty he managed to extract it; yet, before he returned, Baba had already finished his work. Baba was waiting and was about to leave with Jim Mistry, who was also staying in Meherabad for a few days.
Baba asked Homa where he had been with the car. Homa replied, "To the toilet."
Baba remarked, "This is the strangest story I have ever heard. What type of yoga are you doing? You go to the toilet with a car?"
Homa had to make a clean breast of his predicament, and Baba laughed and observed, "What a wonderful yoga! Your yoga I name as Yograja [King of all yogas]!"
Deshmukh arrived in Ahmednagar on 16 June and then went to Meherazad where he stayed for several days.
On the 18th, a Life Circular was issued, giving special instructions for Silence Day that year. The circular also stated: "No one should write anything to Baba or his mandali until July 10, 1958."
On 20 June, Adi informed those invited about the meeting, at which Baba was to give his "Universal Message." About 200 lovers (eight of them women) were invited, and they were instructed to arrive one day before, on the 9th of July.
During his recent visit to the West, Baba had informed certain lovers that he would send specific instructions for them to observe for 40 days beginning 14 July, and he now began dictating letters about this. He did so for lovers in the East, as well.
