Those outside the hall were becoming frantic at the delay in having Baba's darshan. They kept up a running chorus of "Jai Meher Baba! Jai, Jai, Meher Baba!" and were not paying attention to the speakers. Everyone outside was trying their best to push his or her way to a latticed window to have a glimpse of Baba. And those at the windows were holding on to the lattice work with all their strength lest they be torn away and hurt in the crowd of humanity behind them.
After the short speeches, Eruch read out the following instructions:
First: Lovers of Avatar Meher Baba, especially from all over Andhra and from Bombay, whose love-offerings helped to complete the construction of this hall, are today tasting the fruit of their wholehearted response to Jalbhai's tour undertaken for the purpose in 1963. During the darshan program to be held at Guruprasad from tomorrow, Jalbhai will introduce to Baba some of the lovers from Andhra and Bombay who helped to make the completion of this hall possible by their wonderful cooperation.
Second: Those who consider themselves as new lovers of Baba and are having his darshan for the first time will be introduced to Baba from tomorrow onward at Guruprasad by the group heads known to them.
Third: Please note that no one should ask Baba for a personal interview, or try to come up onto the stage either here or at Guruprasad.
Fourth: Baba will permit each of his lovers (old and new) to again have his darshan at Guruprasad during the next five days. Special seating accommodation for his lovers has been made at Guruprasad, as was done at the East-West Gathering in 1962. Therefore, you are requested to be patient and await your turn in the queue with your respective groups when they are called during the next five days at Guruprasad.
Fifth: The Poona Center has tried its best to accommodate as many lovers of Baba inside the hall as possible, and regrets that this hall is not able to hold all who have come for Baba's darshan. Because of the limited space, the Poona public has not been invited here today or at Guruprasad during the next five days.
Sixth: Today the opportunity of Baba's darshan will be given only to those who cannot be accommodated inside the hall due to the limited space. Therefore, all those who are outside the hall are requested to come now inside and form a regular queue to approach Baba for his darshan. And those who are seated inside the hall will please remain seated.
