Can you describe the background of Nanasaheb Nimonkar and his evolving relationship with Maharaj?

Shankarrao Raghunath Deshpande, known as Nanasaheb Nimonkar, was a prominent leader and an Honorary Magistrate in the Sangamner taluka. According to the narrative in Chapter 0, he first visited Maharaj at the suggestion of his uncle. Over time, his casual visits blossomed into deep faith, culminating in him spending his last three years in constant, dedicated service to Maharaj. Despite being over sixty, he served tirelessly. This devotion was reciprocated, as Maharaj affectionately called him "Kaka." His service ended only with his death, and his final moments were filled with visions of Maharaj.
