During this period, Janet McAlpin, 21, had found out about Baba in Australia from Oswald Hall. She was visiting India with a college student group, and when her academic obligations were over in early February 1964, she contacted Nariman and Arnavaz in Bombay. Messages were sent to and from Meherazad about her meeting Baba. Since Baba was in seclusion, permission to see him was not granted, though he hinted that he might see her in April (but this did not occur). Instead, Baba sent her instructions to go have his darshan at Mehersthan in Andhra, where he stated he was always present.
During the birthday program at Kovvur, Janet McAlpin spoke about her coming to Baba, and said she was very happy and felt Baba's "divine presence" there. After visiting Kovvur, according to Baba's orders, the young woman traveled to Vijayawada and participated in Baba's birthday activities there. (She later wryly recalled that while in Andhra she was "exhibited as a 'love-messenger' from far away, which I felt less and less like.") She also visited Baba lovers and centers in Delhi, Nagpur and Poona.
Curiously, in August 1956, while Baba was riding in a car with Oswald Hall in Australia, Baba had pointed to a girl riding on a horse. Seven years later when Oswald met Janet McAlpin and told her about Baba, she looked in her diary and discovered that she had been riding her horse in Eltham that very day when Baba had passed by!
Jalbhai met Baba on Sunday, 8 March 1964. The same day at 3:00 P.M., Baba permitted Mrs. Mirza to see him, along with Adi, Sarosh and Viloo. Padri came regularly to maintain the well pump and water pipelines. The residents of Upper Meherabad (Mansari and Kaikobad's wife and daughters) had Baba's darshan at Meherazad on 21 March.
Dr. Pedersen and his family were returning to Australia, and he was permitted to come to Meherazad to introduce his replacement at Booth Hospital, Dr. B. A. Southwell (also from Australia), to Goher. The two doctors were brought by Adi on Sunday, 22 March 1964 and spent half an hour in Baba's company.
Sarosh and Viloo had attended the mela (fair) at Nauranga in Hamirpur the previous November. At the beginning of February 1964, Baba called them to Meherazad and asked them to go to Dehra Dun as his representatives for the opening of a new center there, also named Meher Dham , on 23 March.
