Can you describe the circumstances under which Anandnath Maharaj of Akkalkot came to Shirdi and his reaction to meeting Sai Baba?

The arrival of Anandnath Maharaj in Shirdi was quite spontaneous. As explained in Chapter 0, several devotees from Shirdi, including Madhavrao Balwant Deshpande, had gone to Savargaon for his darshan. When they were about to leave and return to Shirdi, Anandnath Maharaj unexpectedly ran, sat in their cart, and insisted on coming with them, despite attempts by others to stop him. Upon reaching Shirdi and meeting Sai Baba, his assessment was profound. He declared to the local people, 'This is a diamond. You don't know its true value,' confirming the hidden greatness of the master residing in their village.
