Baba remarked, "She is blessed and now rests in eternal bliss in me. She will not take another birth."
Since "Baba's Corner" at the New York World's Fair had been such a success, Catherine (Cay) M. Draper, a new lover from Canada, wanted to set up a similar booth for the Montreal Exposition of 1967. Kitty wrote to Adi about this, and the letter was read to Baba, who approved the idea.
On 1 March 1966, Baba had this telegram sent to Catherine Draper: "I am happy with all your efforts to spread my message through the Expo. I give my love blessing to you and all who are helping to make it possible."
Later, Kitty wondered whether Baba wished them to continue to distribute the same Universal Message pamphlet, or perhaps he would wish to give a special message.
Baba replied: "The 'Universal Message' remains universal for all time, and there is no change or any other special message to be given."
On Sunday, 6 March, Rama, Mehernath and Sheela came to Meherazad with Waman, Dhake and Adi.
An American named David Michael "Mik" Hamilton, 23, and his German wife, Ursula "Uschi" Reinhart, 21, had learned about Meher Baba from Steve Simon. They had financially helped Simon by giving him some of their last money to purchase passage from Singapore to Bombay the previous November. The couple had met in 1963 in Germany, where Mik was stationed in the U. S. Army. The following year, after he was discharged from the army, the couple married, and in the summer of 1964 began hitchhiking throughout Europe and Asia.
When they met Steve Simon in Singapore, they were heavily using drugs and had offered some to him. Simon declined, saying, "I am trying not to take drugs," further stating that he was on his way to India to meet Meher Baba, an Indian guru, whom Simon thought to be the Avatar, and who did not wish his followers to use drugs.
Mik and Ursula, who unlike Simon had previously traveled in India, were skeptical. "Look, if you like drugs and want to use them, just find yourself another Baba," Ursula said. "There are thousands of babas in India! Most of them are fakes! Good luck, but don't get your hopes up!"
Mik and Ursula knew this because they had lived along the Ganges River with the sadhus and met many so-called babas .
