Two
months before his Mahasamadhi,
Maharaj spoke to the higher authorities of the Roadways Department and
got Tewari transferred to the Roadways station in Bhowali, about eight
kilometers from Kainchi. Baba's act distressed Tewari because he did
not want to leave Kainchi. However, Baba was keeping Tewari's future
welfare in mind. He did not want him to face difficulties in his
absence. Baba knew that by his transfer to a place some distance away
he would not be able to manage all his business affairs, so his sons
would need to take on more responsibilities. Otherwise, with the
deterioration in health suffered in old age, his life would be unhappy
if he was still trying to manage everything. Baba explained to Tewari
that after he had worked in Bhowali for two months, he would be
transferred back to Kainchi and would have no further fear of transfer
in the future. After Baba's Mahasamadhi, Tewari was indeed transferred
back to the Kainchi bus stand. About a year after his return, the bus
stand closed because it was not longer profitable, but Tewari was made
a lifelong watchman of the vacated building.
