After settling in at Meherazad, Baba remained secluded in his room for one month, and he did not step out of the main house or come to the hall.
He remarked, "This is my seclusion in seclusion."
Kaka Baria was brought back to Meherazad on 3 July by Sarosh, and Rama, Sheela and Mehernath were brought the following day. On the 6th, Padri returned to stay at Meherabad, and Kaikobad was brought back to Meherazad in the same car.
Twice a day, Baba would call the men to his room, where he would discuss arrangements for the sahavas for the Westerners. The sahavas was scheduled to take place in Ahmednagar from the 23rd to the 29th of December. A total of 250 Americans, Europeans and Australians were expected. They would be staying in town, but the actual sahavas with Baba would be held at Meherazad for three hours each day, from 9:00 A.M. until noon.
A committee consisting of Adi, Sarosh, Viloo, Anna Gune, Gajwani and Siganporia had been formed. Baba called Adi, Sarosh and Viloo to Meherazad and instructed them to make arrangements for the Westerners' accommodations. They informed him, "Baba, there is an acute shortage of water in Ahmednagar. Unless the rains come in abundance this year, which is out of our hands, it will be difficult to manage an adequate supply of water for those who come."
Baba replied, smiling, "I will see to that; you see to the accommodations."
They began to carry out Baba's behests by trying to rent a newly constructed building next to the Civil Hospital, which was to be an outpatients' hospital and staff quarters or, alternatively, to rent hostel facilities at Ahmednagar College.
Meanwhile in New York, Harry Kenmore began organizing plans to charter an airplane, which he had discussed with Baba at Guruprasad in May and which Baba had approved. Baba instructed that the sahavas was meant only for those who truly loved him, and not for the merely interested or curious. Children were permitted to come. Most of those who were planning to attend had not seen Baba since the East-West Gathering three years before, and many new ones had also signed up for the pilgrimage. All lovers, new and old, were counting the days until they would be in Beloved Baba's loving presence once again.
