Khaled reassured him and Charmian read out the required medication: "... 2cc of Urge ... 1 large darshan daiquiri ..." Baba was highly amused. Then Three-B came in dressed up as a cow. Brynar Mehl took the part of Krishna and Khaled as a "lovely" gopi.
Beheram had been filming the East-West Gathering and wished to take some parting shots of Baba and the Westerners together on the steps of Guruprasad. After the skit, all went outside in the sunshine with Baba, and the filming took place.
At 9:25 A.M., Golwalkar and Kamat came to give an hour's recital on the sarangi and tabla. At Baba's request, the musicians played the traditional "bride's song," which depicts a new bride, joyful about her marriage but sad to depart from her parent's home. An appropriate choice of music for how most of the Westerners felt.
Baba asked Ben Hayman, "Ben, what is your percent of happiness today?"
Dr. Hayman replied, "One hundred and fifty percent!"
Baba gestured for each to come forward individually for their final embrace. Some stepped forward at once, others hung back. A few prostrated themselves full length before Baba. Some kissed his feet and were crying at the thought of separation, others looked grave.
Baba gestured to them, "Look happy!"
All cheered when 93-year-old Ruth White walked unaided up the aisle and embraced Baba.
He gestured to her, "My soldier!"
After Jane Haynes had kissed his feet ("The culmination of my entire life was at that moment," she later said), Baba asked her, "Are you happy?"
She nodded, and Baba declared to her, "I am the Christ. I am the Christ. Open your eyes that you may see me as I really am."
Baba looked like a little child to her, "so tiny you could have picked him up," she recalled.
Jane Haynes' daughter, Wendy, had been sitting on the floor next to Baba's chair during the music program and had nodded off to sleep for a few minutes until Baba shook her awake. Wendy was feeling shy and self-conscious before meeting Baba this trip. She was now eleven years old and more aware of who Baba was. But as soon as he embraced her on that first day, her shyness vanished and she was thrilled once again to be with him. At one point, she was hopping about so happily that Baba called her his "gazelle."
