During this period, on every religious holiday great crowds would assemble in Meherabad, giving it the appearance of a small township. Baba arranged for the children and adults to hear kirtans by D. M. Angal, a pleader (attorney) from Ahmednagar. Angal started visiting Meherabad every Sunday to recite poetry and stories of traditional lore from Hindu mythology, which delighted all. During Hindu celebrations also, Angal Pleader would be invited to entertain the crowd with his kirtan songs.
One such festive holiday was Lord Ram's birthday, which was celebrated in Meherabad on Thursday, 2 April 1925. Bhajan singing started at 9:00 A.M. and lasted until noon. Ram's birth was then celebrated, after which Baba handed out the prasad of sweets. In the afternoon Dr. Abdur Rehman (Ghani's brother from Lonavla) entertained everyone by singing qawaalis.
The following day, a great feast was served to almost 5,000 people. Many from surrounding villages came for the feast. Wrestling matches were held in the afternoon and the winners were given bright-colored turbans as prizes. A silent film, Sant Tukaram, depicting the life of the Perfect Master Tukaram was shown at night.
In Hinduism, Thursday is the traditional day for worshiping one's guru. Every Thursday, a villager named Haribhau would sing hymns in praise of God. He was followed by a blind singer from Ahmednagar named Bhau Saheb Wanjari, who became a regular visitor of Meherabad. Wanjari would sing the bhajans at the top of his voice, with all his heart; hence, Baba would appreciate his efforts and always ask him to sing.
Once Wanjari pleaded with Baba to give him sight for just half a minute, so that he could see his only son. To appease him, Baba promised, "Yes, I will let you see; just be patient and wait." Although Wanjari never regained his sight, he lived a life of inner contentment under the Master's guidance.
Thus, through different mediums, Baba attracted many different types of people, gracing them with the opportunity of basking in the rays of his divine radiance.
On 13 April Baba was about to proceed to Bombay. A villager from Walki, named Peeraji, came to Meherabad anxious and frightened. He had been bitten by a rabid dog. Baba canceled his trip and took the man to Dr. Karkal, telling him to provide Peeraji with the best treatment. Rustom was then sent to Walki to find out if anyone else had been bitten.
