BABA BADGE AS A REWARD

 
For three days, the Hyderabad programme went on at a hurricane pace. And, what a programme it was! On 28th June 1951, Baba's historical declaration regarding "Manonash" was made. Besides this, another feature of the day was Baba's taking us all with Him to a sight-seeing round of Hyderabad and Usman Sagar.

Baba heard amusing and witty stories from His lovers and also saw some comic acting presented by them, and it created an atmosphere of joy for all. In the morning of 30th June He allowed Himself to be photographed with all His lovers and gave His Prasad to each for distribution to His lovers in their respective places. This was the first time that He did so.

In the drama, I had acted the role of a female and through the veil I had shot a love-glance at Baba. Baba was very happy at this. Then, along with the rest I too received from Baba's hand, for my acting, a Baba-Badge as a reward. This badge is still my cherished possession in memory of that day.
