"About the fantastic flight over five continents I shall write later. We saw Anita and Roger, Mercedes, my sister-in-law in Paris, and two and a half hours later Irene Billo and Hedi Mertens in Switzerland. We arrived with one day delay, having to fly to Karachi for health inspection. Stopped there half a night. We arrived in Bombay, stayed at Arnavaz' overnight and met Baba Sunday at three o'clock in the afternoon as ordered and arranged by him. Adi came to fetch us by car.

 

“All gifts were distributed with great success of joy by all concerned. Baba sent out millions of rays of love to all who gave.

 

"Today ends Dr. L.'s pill-cure and begins Baba's regime which includes forty days of silence for me. Thank goodness he directs me now!

 

". . . We live in a small bungalow surrounded with blooming trees,—flowers,— fragrance fills the atmosphere. A woman disciple lives with us and Kaka, manager of perfect household . . . swift, gentle servants, lovers of Baba, are at our disposal and perfect western food! . . . Baba has four bungalows, one for masts, besides our own. We are happy; That is the magic key to all!! All around are happy! All have of that love that is given by him. The greatest message I can express is that he is here to make us attain to what we earth-bound creatures call happiness, love, joy, unison of feeling.

―Norina"

 

 

Elizabeth had had two large cars sent over by boat from the United States for Baba and these came shortly after her arrival. Elizabeth felt she was indeed privileged, as she was able to drive Baba on several of his mast tours at this time. Needless to say, later on, both cars were sold, but while in our use or in the garage in Pimpalgaon, Baba had them kept scrupulously clean and shining "like a pin." Meheru did this job with help and Elizabeth had to keep them cranked up and to do this noiselessly during Baba's many seclusions. These two cars were so spacious that all were able to enjoy one or two outings with Baba.

 

Satara, as you know, is an old city famous for its connection with Shivaji, the founder of the Mahratta Empire. About seventy miles away at Purandhar is an old fort. We went by car with Baba to the foot of the hill and then ascended the mountain to the fort which is one of the great shrines of Shivaji. Baba has worked on several occasions with Ali Shah, one of the five favorite masts, on this mountain.
