“”Thereafter, a new building will be constructed for it. The children should have no connection with anyone or anything outside the ashram, including the rest of the mandali who are not directly connected with running the ashram.
Under the rules made by Baba, the activities and management of the ashram were to be arranged by Behramji with the help of Pendu, Sidhu and Chhagan. Rustom was appointed the manager of the mandali. The following official titles were to be used henceforth: Behramji was to be called Buasaheb , manager of Meher Ashram; Dhake was appointed Principal Saheb of the Hazrat Babajan School; Rustom was renamed Barra Saheb (Big Boss), manager of the mandali; and Afseri was called Raosaheb , manager of boarding. Jalbhai was appointed Baba's personal orderly. Padri, in addition to his work in the dispensary, was assigned to teach for three hours every day, as was Rustom, and Vishnu was to be a full-time teacher. Baba assigned different duties to each of the mandali and prepared rules about the conduct of the school and its timetable, which were to go into effect from the 1st of May.
At noon Baba visited Khushru Quarters and Akbar Press.
The next day, Baba directed that three more classes be added to the school, which would require the use of both halls of the Mess Quarters. The men mandali would have to vacate the Mess Quarters by 1 May to make room for the additional classes. They were to shift to a new residential building, which was to be constructed near the well (where the Upasni Serai had been previously). Baba went with Buasaheb and Chanji to the Family Quarters in Arangaon to see what improvements were needed to that building.
Meanwhile, Raya was busy erecting a canopy around the Jhopdi for the coming celebration of Lord Ram's birthday when a worker climbed on the Jhopdi roof and accidentally broke one of the tiles. This put Baba in an irritable mood, and he canceled the celebration. The next day, however, finding the mandali disappointed over his decision, he allowed the festival to be observed in the mandali's quarters. Angal Pleader recited stories from the Puranas and Ramayana , and afterward Baba distributed prasad.
Babu Cyclewalla and Ramjoo had come. Baba asked Ramjoo if he would be willing to move to Meherabad. Babu interjected, "I am all right in Poona," to the amusement of all.
