For how long was Amir Shakkar's stay in the Chavadi, and what restrictions did Sai Baba place on him during this time?

Amir Shakkar's ordained stay in the Chavadi lasted for nine months. This extended period was a crucial part of his treatment for rheumatism. As detailed in Chapter 22, Sai Baba placed a significant restriction on him during this time: Amir was forbidden from coming to the Masjid for Baba's vision. This instruction emphasized that his healing was to take place solely within the confines of the Chavadi, based on his faith in Baba's word, rather than through the usual routine of visiting the Masjid like other devotees. His faith was tested by adhering strictly to this unique and challenging directive.
