*JANUARY 1969 - IT WILL THE DARSHAN OF DARSHANS - UNPARALLED.*

Sarosh's son-in-law, Hirji S. Adenwala, came to Ahmednagar for Dara's
marriage. He and his wife, Gulnar, would come every December, and would be
brought to Meherazad by Sarosh and Viloo to meet Baba. Hirji Adenwala was
also a medical doctor and came to Meherazad unannounced on Sunday evening,
January 5th. Dr. Donkin accompanied him. Dr. Adenwala had studied Baba's
blood reports, and Goher wished him to examine Baba. Baba was not pleased
with this intrusion, but agreed to let the doctor see him.

After Dr. Adenwala entered Baba's room he asked Baba to open his mouth so
that he could smell it. He had inadvertently forgotten to bring his
stethoscope, so Baba instructed him to put his ear on his chest to listen to
his heart, which he did. He asked two or three questions, which Baba
answered clearly through hand signs. Adenwala was amazed because, according
to what he told Goher and Eruch after coming out of the room, no one could
have remained conscious, much less cognizant, with such an abnormal increase
in urea in the bloodstream, and the whole room should have been full of a
stench, which was not the case. Baba was fully conscious and his mouth did
not smell foul.

Dr. Adenwala exclaimed, "This is extraordinary! Still, for Baba to stay here
is not desirable. He should be taken to Poona, where a thorough checkup can
be done."

Therefore, both the men and women mandali exhorted Baba to move to Poona
before his usual time at the end of March, but Baba replied, "If you want me
to drop this body, then take me to Poona! Otherwise, don't talk of going
there."

It was at this time, perhaps to relieve the mandali's fears, that Baba began
mentioning about giving darshan while lying down. "If I give my darshan to
my lovers lying down, would there be anything wrong in that?" he asked.

The mandali replied, "Of course not, why would it be wrong? Your lovers'
only concern is to see to your pleasure."

But Baba's deteriorating condition caused the mandali to worry, and they
continued to wonder how it would be possible for Baba to give darshan for
three months – from April 10th until June 10th. They were apprehensive about
whether his body could withstand such a strain, but Baba assured them: "It
will be easy for me to give my lovers darshan, so you are not to feel
concerned. I will give darshan reclining and that will be no strain on my
body.

"It will be different from all previous darshans, and it will be the last in
silence. It will be the darshan of darshans – unparalleled.
