4. Baba will permit each of his lovers (old and new) to again have his darshan at Guruprasad during the next five days. Special seating accommodation for his lovers has been made at Guruprasad as was done at the East-West Gathering in 1962. Therefore you are requested to be patient and await your turn in queue with your respective groups when they are called during the next five days at Guruprasad.

5. Poona Centre has tried its best to accommodate as many lovers of Baba inside the hall as possible and regrets that this hall is not able to hold all who have come for Baba's darshan. Because of the limited space the Poona public has not been invited here today or at Guruprasad during the next five days.

6. Today, the opportunity of Baba 's darshan will be given only to those who cannot be accommodated inside the hall due to the limited space. Therefore, all those who are outside the hall are requested to come now in regular queue to approach Baba for his darshan. And those who are seated inside the hall will please remain seated.

7. Those who have unavoidably to leave Poona tomorrow should also join the queue now for Baba's darshan.

8. Attention please. The following is a direct message from Avatar Meher Baba to you all:

"ALL THESE YEARS I USED TO EMBRACE YOU, MY LOVERS, AND BOW DOWN TO YOUR LOVE FOR ME. NOW I CANNOT EMBRACE YOU SO I ALLOW YOU TO BOW DOWN TO MY LOVE FOR YOU."

At 8:30 A.M. the darshan began. Batches of about 100 women and then men were admitted into the hall at a time. The rushing pushing and stampede at the door was too much for the volunteers to manage. Those who were lucky to enter the hall stood in a queue. They came past Baba, bowed down their heads on his feet and left. As an expression of their love, some offered garlands of fresh flowers, of silk, of paper, of camphor, and puffed rice. Others brought fruits, toffees, and candy. Baba would touch these love offerings and return them as his prasad. Men, women and children of all castes and creeds, of all ranks right from ministers, M.P. 's, generals, judges, magistrates, advocates and doctors down to the postman and cobbler, came for darshan. This fleeting panorama of faces, dark and fair, all equally aglow with love, flashed past Baba. After having had Baba's darshan, most were loath to leave but, they were hurried long by the volunteers until they found themselves at the exit where a packet containing prasad was put into their hands.
