In the end, Baba exempted Dhake, Padri and Ramjoo from meditation, but ordered them instead to relate one detective story of Sexton Blake every night for an hour, to which they happily agreed.
On Thursday, 12 May 1927, Gaimai Jessawala and a few members of the Satha family arrived in Meherabad.
"Where have you come from?" Baba asked.
Gaimai explained that she came from her home in Nagpur.
"You are so fortunate, so very fortunate!" Baba told her. "How can I tell you? Do you know why? One of my five Masters, Tajuddin Baba, lived in Nagpur. Did you ever see him?"
Gaimai replied that Tajuddin used to come to her elder stepbrother Ardeshir Satha's house and sit on the verandah when her family first moved to Nagpur. They had also seen Tajuddin Baba several times at the home of Dr. Ponaskar, the asylum administrator.
On occasion, Tajuddin had paid particular attention to each member of her family, especially her son Eruch.
"Then you are still more fortunate." Baba observed.
Gaimai invited Baba to attend the sacred thread ceremony of her daughters at Akbar Press.
Baba accepted, inquiring, "Could I perform the ceremony myself?"
Gaimai was overjoyed.
Baba then instructed, "Prepare two sadras. Let the priest perform the ceremony first and then I shall perform my own ceremony."
Gaimai did as Baba wished, and she came again to see Baba the following Thursday.
Sorabji Desai had spoken to the Master about his friend Kaikobad Feram Dastur, and Baba assured him that Kaikobad would eventually come to him. Kaikobad was then 36 years old and a practicing Parsi priest. At Sorabji's urging, on 14 May, Kaikobad came from Navsari for Baba's darshan. Adi Sr. met him at the station and drove him to Meherabad. After the bitter opposition Baba faced from the Zoroastrian community and in the Gujarati press, the mandali were eager to welcome such a pious and genuine Parsi spiritual seeker into their fold.
During the personal interview, Baba explained to Kaikobad about the four states of God and four types of faith.
"If you follow my instructions to the letter," Baba promised him, "you will not only understand what I am saying theoretically, but actually see certain things."
Kaikobad was deeply impressed. Noticing that Kaikobad's leg was injured, Baba examined it. He advised him to apply ash from the dhuni to the wound, and gave him some for this purpose. After staying overnight in Masaji's quarters at the Post Office, Kaikobad returned to Navsari the next evening. From that time on, he visited Baba at Meherabad frequently.
