Dear Friend Amiya,
I received your letter along with Priya's lyric. It is but natural that the student of a Baba lover like you ought to be Priya. I'll try to use [publish] this lyrical composition at the proper time [in Meher Pukar].
It will not be possible for me to go from here to any other place in the near future at least before 31st March. Then I'll be kept busy with Meher Pukar up to 15th April for the April issue of Meher Pukar, and after that I have to act according to the circumstances. Just now I am busy day and night editing and printing Everything and Nothing [Hindi version]. This activity will go on up to the end of March. On 22nd, 23rd and 24th March the inauguration programme of Meher Dham at Dehra Dun will take place. It will be a grand celebration in which Khan Saheb Saroshki Irani and his wife Viloomai of Ahmednagar will participate as Baba's representatives. If I get some time I'll definitely attend that celebration.
During this period of nine months, you all have done very good Baba work in your region. This kind of substantial work is the real thing and subsequently it gathers momentum by itself and goes on of its own accord.
Our loving salutations and Jai Baba to Mehernandini, Gaura, Matajee and yourself from us all.
Yours always with love,
Editor's note: Priya was the nom de plume of one of Amiya's students, just as Huma was the nom de plume of Beloved Baba as a student. However, Keshav makes a pun in the next sentence, because "Priya" means "dear". For instance, all the letters from Bhau to Amiya in Hindi start out, literally "Priya Amiya".
Amiya explains that Gaura was Keshav's pet name for Gauri.
