On 4 October, Baba had Adi send Irwin and Edward this message: "Keep happy and cheerful for he — who is the Source of Bliss — is with you."
On 3 October 1966, Baba called Adi and Don to Meherazad at 9:30 A.M. They arrived in Don's new maroon Wolseley. Baba conceded to Don's request to "inaugurate the car" by sitting in the front seat for a few minutes. He did so and was driven to his house at the back of Meherazad.
On the 8th, Shinde, the collar maker, came to Meherazad to take Baba's measurements for a new collar. He returned the following morning and then left for Poona.
For a few days at the end of September, Viloo sent food for Baba every day with Rustom Kaka. Chhagan was permitted to send food on 13 October.
Khorshed arrived at Meherazad on 18 October 1966 and stayed for a week. Don brought the Kalchuris at 9:30 A.M. on the 21st (in honor of Mehernath's 13th birthday the following day). Nariman, Arnavaz and Katie came for a visit on the 29th and stayed for a week (in honor of Nariman's birthday on the 31st). Manek brought special food on his scooter for Baba and the mandali from Viloo and Chhagan. Jehangu had come from Poona for two days and left on the 31st.
Baba's seclusion had been greatly disturbed by the Arangaon villagers who came to Meherazad.
The day after their visit, Baba said, "Until November 1967, I want to remain totally undisturbed."
He directed that signs be painted in Hindi, Marathi and English to read:
NOTE: AVATAR MEHER BABA HAS STOPPED
SEEING OR GIVING DARSHAN TO ANYONE
As per Baba's order, two signs each in three languages were prepared. On 5 November 1966, one set was placed on the New Life Caravan outside mandali hall, and another set on the Meherazad approach road, where it forked toward the men mandali's quarters.
A Baba lover of Dehra Dun named Balgopal Das telephoned Adi from Poona that same day seeking Baba's darshan. Balgopal Das and his wife, Babyraj, had done much toward the establishment of Meher Dham in Dehra Dun and were of great help financing Baba functions and other work done in Baba's name there, such as feeding the poor.
