According to Chapter 29, a group of devotees from the Madras region, now known as Chennai, came to Shirdi for Sai Baba's darshan. They were travelers on a pilgrimage to Kashi and stopped at Shirdi along the way, having heard of Baba's fame. This group, which had spent the year engaged in devotional singing, found peace after taking darshan and stayed near Sai for several days. A specific group of four within this larger contingent—a man with his mother-in-law, wife, and daughter—belonged to the Ramdasi sect and performed devotional singing with great enthusiasm. Baba gave them eight rupees and eight annas, though his actions were not always consistent.
