Hoshang Bharucha and Cowas Vesuna had been called from Navsari to stay at Guruprasad for several days. When they arrived on the 25th, to their surprise Baba asked them to return to Navsari the same day, promising to call them to Meherazad later in October. During their return journey, Vesuna fell ill and became feverish, and Bharucha, a physician, had to treat him for several days before he recovered. This was the real reason Baba had sent them back.
At Guruprasad, Ramjoo continued to work on the deed for the creation of the Avatar Meher Baba Trust, finalizing the stipulations and wording with the assistance of Kutumba Sastri. One day Ramjoo was seated on the floor in front of Baba, with the draft documents spread out in front of him. As he spoke, his breathing became quite labored, due to asthma.
Baba commented to those gathered, "Ramjoo does so much work for me. Whatever I want from him, he will do it even at the cost of his own life. I could cure him within a second, but I don't do that. A time will come when he will be rid of all these problems."
On the 26th, Jashan P. Vaswani, Sadhu Vaswani's nephew and chief disciple, saw Baba at Guruprasad. He presented Baba with a box of almonds and sprayed perfume on Baba's coat.
On Wednesday, 1 April 1959, instead of making darshan available every day, Baba announced it would be given only on Sundays between 9:00 A.M. and noon, and an afternoon program would be held once a month for families. The Bombay lovers now began coming to Poona every weekend, staying in hotels and coming to Guruprasad on Sundays. Khorshed and Arnavaz were permitted to stay in Guruprasad for the duration of Baba's stay, as was Nana Kher.
Bal Natu, a schoolteacher, was also a resident at Guruprasad for several weeks during his summer vacation. Deshmukh came to Poona during his summer holidays. He and his family stayed at the Patwardhan Lodge, and he was allowed to visit Guruprasad daily, as was Dr. Moorty of Calcutta. Nariman, Katie (Goher's sister) and Jim Mistry would come from Bombay every Saturday, stay in Guruprasad, and then return with others from Bombay on Sunday evenings.
Deshmukh used to be the butt of everyone's jokes, Baba included. On April Fool's Day at Guruprasad, Baba presented him with a lavishly wrapped present which Deshmukh took to be something quite precious. When he carefully unwrapped the bundle, which had seven layers of different colored wrapping paper, he found an ordinary stone. Everyone laughed, but Deshmukh kept it, accepting it as Baba's prasad, and as a symbol and reminder to him to always have "rocklike" faith in Baba.
