I am God in human form. The world will know this when I break my silence.
Assisted by Eruch, Baba walked on the stage at about 8:00 A.M., earlier than usual. After the cheering of the crowd had died down, he gave a message for lovers from Hamirpur District.
He said "The love of Hamirpur lovers feels that, because Hamirpur lovers are poor, they are neglected. But whether the lovers are poor or rich, I am the slave of my lovers. All Hamirpur lovers should be patient as I will give darshan to them tomorrow morning from eight to eleven o'clock.
"Now let us start the darshan program. There is no need of introducing anyone, as I know everyone."
Baba had Eruch announce that henceforth there would be no messages or announcements given, and no reciting of the Master's Prayer (which had been the first feature every morning). There would be no time for the prayer with so many people still waiting to have darshan. The darshan commenced at 8:05 A.M. Maharani Shantadevi came on the dais five minutes later and garlanded Baba with a beautiful white-rose garland. The garland was handmade of fine material by a Parsi lover.
At 8:40 A.M., Baba stood to wave to the lovers seated at the far back.
He asked, "Can all see me when I stand up?"
Several at the back waved that they could see, while some waved they could not.
Many brought garlands. Eruch put an exceptional one made from pink roses around Baba's neck. A group of women tried to offer Baba money at his feet. Refusing it, he asked the volunteers to inform everyone who came for his darshan that no one should offer him money.
That day several Andhra lovers who had not had Baba's darshan the day before were the first in the queue, followed by lovers from smaller areas. An unfortunate incident occurred when, after having Baba's darshan A. S. Jagannath of Vijayawada tripped over a rope and fell, fracturing his right femur bone. He was taken to the hospital. Although in pain, he was brave. His only fear was that he would be deprived of darshan on the remaining two days. When assured that he would be taken back to Baba, he was happy.
