Baba Sripadji and I were always exchanging letters, poetry of our own, songs and drawings etc. I would tell him what my programmes were and he would reply with his own so that we would meet in various places. Always in some great sat-sang, or event. He would often send me a lettered invitation to join him at some Tirtha or other. In this case I had told him that Santji and I were going to stay some days as the guest of his great bhakta, Admiral Surg. Dr. M.S. Melhotra and his wife, Satyaji in Delhi Cantt. So, one fine day Babaji just showed up there to everyone’s delight! It was Santji who wrapped this nice yellow shawl around Baba that December morning. He was very happy with Baba who had come out to meet Santji for the first time in Chandigarh a month or so earlier. Even then Babaij would stay a few days appearing for satsangs and spending some hours with us all, then suddenly disappearing at evenings. Sometimes I would discover him meditating in some lone corner of a veranda or in the garden and join him. Sometimes we would sit in this ecstatic meditation together ‘til the dawn. OM~
