Later that year, when the orchard crop was harvested, even though surrounding orchards had been severely damaged due to a harsh winter frost, Vesali's trees gave an unprecedented yield — much to the local farmers' amazement.
Although only Sundays were supposed to be darshan days, every day seemed to be a day of sahavas for some group or the other. By Friday each week, the number of people coming increased greatly, as Bombay lovers rushed to Poona to spend the weekend. On Sunday mornings and afternoons, even a palace like Guruprasad would literally be bursting at the seams as hundreds of lovers gathered to be near their Beloved Lord. But, like a hen that gathers her chicks under the safety of her wings, in the same way, Baba managed to see and give his love to each of his children.
Alongside his darshan and embrace, Baba was also giving spiritual discourses. Sometimes he would reminisce about an amusing event of the past, or ask someone to tell a joke, and the whole hall would resound with laughter. With obvious enjoyment and appreciation, he would listen to a singing or musical recital. He would tease Deshmukh, whose sudden outbursts of song at unexpected moments in the course of the program were anticipated.
But, on occasion, Baba would remind the audience, "You see me doing all this, but simultaneously my [inner] work continues. It never stops, no matter what I appear to be doing outwardly."
Baba visited a few homes of his close lovers during his stay in Poona that year. On one outing, he went to the Bhandaris' residence at 25 Queen's Garden for tea and snacks, accompanied by Mehera, Mani, Goher and Meheru, along with Adi and Eruch.
During the darshan days at Guruprasad, at times, prominent personalities would come to see Baba. If they were in a hurry to return, some of the Poona workers would give them preference and take them in ahead to see Baba, allowing them to go inside instead of standing in the long queue. Other times, when some people came late, they were taken to Baba immediately, as they had not had an opportunity to sit near him.
