Can you describe the role of Gopalrao Gund, the Revenue Circle Inspector, in Shirdi and his relationship with Maharaj?

📖 Chapter 0

According to the details provided in Chapter 0, Gopalrao Gund was the Revenue Circle Inspector of Kopargaon who came for Maharaj's darshan. He was blessed with a son after having three wives and no heir. As a devotee, he wished to rebuild the dilapidated Masjid and collected stones for it, but Maharaj did not grant permission. Instead, with Maharaj's command, these stones were used to build the Shani temple and renovate other village temples. It was also Gopalrao Gund who first proposed holding an annual fair, or Urs, in Maharaj's honor, which eventually became the Ram Navami fair.
