M. S. R. Shastry’s was a lawyer, and his family performed Baba’s arti. Shastry beseeched Baba to perform the opening ceremony of the new Meher Centre in Masulipatnam, which Baba did at 11:30 A.M. by garlanding and bowing down to his own photograph, which also had his signature on it.
Baba stated: “I find no one to bow down to except me because I find myself in everything. My coming physically here and opening this center would be of avail if you all make me yours, as you already eternally are mine. This center would be worth its name if it could spread my message of love by making people understand that God is the only Reality.
