Aziz and Ramjoo found Baba outside a rest house with the mandali. Baba, however, drank only tea while the mandali enjoyed a hearty breakfast.
They all left for Bhandardara in the car and a few tongas. Baidul drove one of the tongas and the bullock cart followed. They arrived at Bhandardara at 1:30 P.M. and, after lunch at Aziz's home, they went to see the dam, which was near completion after fifteen years of construction. From Bhandardara Lake they returned in the evening to Bari.
Baba's mood changed and, after one more day of fasting, he ate rice and dal. In the early morning of Sunday, the 28th of October, they left Bari for Rajur, loading their luggage in a tonga belonging to Aziz. Baidul had stayed in Bhandardara with the bullock cart and was told to meet them at Rajur, instead of returning to Bari.
After walking fourteen miles, they reached Rajur and stayed in a dak bungalow.
After lunch and a nap, Baba said, "We should reach Sakori on Thursday. I will not enter Sakori but will wait somewhere nearby. Circumstances are such that I cannot enter Maharaj's boundary. You all go to Sakori in the morning and meet me in the evening, wherever I happen to be."
As Baidul had arrived in Rajur with the bullock cart, the tonga was returned to Bari. The next morning they left Rajur at 4:00 A.M., reaching Akola at 3:00 P.M. after walking thirteen miles.
Baba became concerned about Gustadji's leg; his knee was painful and it became increasingly difficult for him to continue. They halted at the dak bungalow in Akola, and Baba had sweets brought from the market. With Sadashiv's help, a village cook was hired to prepare bhakris and besan (a liquid chickpea flour preparation), after which everyone retired.
Ramjoo would write his diary notes of the journey during the afternoon, or whenever he found spare time. Baba had told him to keep a journal, and he was faithfully recording events, although he was just as tired as everyone else.
They left Akola at 3:30 A.M. on 30 October, the twelfth day of their journey. By the fifth mile, near a river, they were able to purchase milk and prepare tea; however, Sadashiv and Babu, who did not drink tea, took only milk. After walking fourteen miles, they arrived in Sangamner, where they had their meal in a Hindu restaurant.
