1944

Baba visited Bangalore once in two months. He stayed at the residence of Sri Narasimharao Naidu. Daily Bhajans were held during His stay. The Excise Commissioner Sri Navaneetham Naidu's family went there to have Darshan of Baba. Once, Baba locked Himself in a room at 9:00 pm and came out only at midnight. When everybody enquired He said, "I had been to a hospital at Bombay to perform an operation". Sri Navaneetham Naidu immediately called up Bombay and found out the details. This deepened faith in Sri Navaneetham Naidu. He gave Baba His first pet dog. Baba treated both Sri Narasimharao Naidu and Sri Jagannatharao Naidu as His friends. Since they had shown Baba the city of Bangalore, Baba broudht them to Puttaparthi to show them around.
