Chapter 0 introduces Sai Baba's earliest devotees in Shirdi. After being welcomed by Mhalasapati at the Khandoba temple, Mhalasapati introduced Baba to his companions, Kashiram Shimpi and Appa Jagle. These three men were already accustomed to serving saints and fakirs who visited the village. They all became total devotees of Maharaj. The text specifically highlights Kashiram's exceptional service, noting that he served with his body, mind, and wealth. He stitched a green kafni and cap for Baba and vowed to provide chillum, tobacco, firewood for the Dhuni, and any money needed.
Can you describe the first devotees Sai Baba met in Shirdi and the services they offered him?
