Baba reached Pentapadu after half an hour, where he was riotously received by about 5,000 people. I. Gangadharam and an acharya (Hindu priest) delivered welcome addresses, and a few songs were sung. Baba touched the prasad of bananas and guavas, saying that the workers there should distribute it among the people. At eight o’clock, after giving a message to the students gathered there, Baba headed for Pippara.

Dr. Rao, Kutumba Sastri, Mallikarjuna Rao and a few others had joined Baba in Tadepalligudem. At each place Kutumba Sastri translated Baba’s messages into Telugu.

21 January 1969

On the morning of Tuesday, 21 January 1969, Baba was helped to sit up in bed. He complained of a choking sensation in his throat and he breathed with difficulty, wheezing for half an hour like an asthmatic patient. He asked for hot tea and after drinking it, along with a pill of Belargal, the wheezing subsided. He complained of feeling terribly weak and said he would only have liquids that day.
