Joseph Harb was seated in the first row (filming the program at times).
“”He did not look well, and Baba asked about his health, "Do you have any pain in your chest?"
Joseph replied that he did. Baba instructed that he be carried in his lift-chair outside and taken immediately to a doctor. Joseph left as instructed by Baba, but he quickly recovered the next day and attended the remainder of the darshan.
It was impossible for all the people to file past Baba, since he was to leave at 11:00 A.M. He called Ramakrishnan and asked that large groups of his lovers be allowed onto the balcony in the hall in turns so that they could at least have a clear glimpse of him. Every group that came onto the balcony cheered, and Baba would wave to them and gesture that all should come to Guruprasad the next day.
At 10:30 A.M. almost 4,000 lovers sang Baba's arti. Afterwards, all hailed the Avatar of the Age. Baba was lifted from the dais and carried to the car in the lift-chair to return to Guruprasad. The car slowly made its way through the thronged lane, as Baba sat inside saluting his lovers with his hands folded.
Later in Guruprasad, at 4:00 P.M., Baba gave darshan to a busload of lovers from Hamirpur, whose train had been delayed en route, and so had missed the darshan that morning at the center. A group brought by Sitaram from Kanpur also met Baba. Harry Kenmore and Ben Hayman came, as did Dr. Ginde, his wife, a few relatives and patients he had brought with him, including the boy who had miraculously recovered from the brain operation. Baba kissed the child and lovingly met everyone.
On Sunday, 2 May 1965, by 6:30 A.M., a large crowd had collected near the gates of Guruprasad. The Hamirpur lovers were singing " Hari Baba, Hari Baba! Meher Baba, Hari, Hari!" and "Satchitanand, Paramanand, Meher Baba Vidnyanand" with quiet ardor. Some of the nearly 1,000 devotees from Hamirpur had come in eight buses, and the rest by train. Some were so poor that they had only been able to pay the fare by selling some of their belongings. Though monetarily extremely poor, they were rich in Baba's love.
