Meher Today – 24th November

24 November 1923

Reaching Bombay on 24 November 1923, Baba informed the mandali, “I will be in strict seclusion without letting any of you — except a select few — know where I am. You will not know where I will be, so it is better if you all go back to your homes during the period of my seclusion.” Soon after, according to Baba’s wish, Nervous, Padri and Slamson stayed in Bombay; Adi and Masaji went to Ahmednagar, and Baidul and Behramji went to Poona. Behramji alone knew of Baba’s intentions and went to Poona for the sole purpose of arranging things
