Can you describe the sequence of events that led to Sai Baba arriving and being introduced to the community in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 0

Sai Baba's journey to Shirdi began with a chance encounter with Chandbhai, the Patil of Dhupkhede, in a forest. As detailed in chapter 0, Chandbhai was searching for his lost horse when Baba miraculously pointed out its location. After demonstrating another miracle by creating fire from the ground with his tongs, Baba stayed at Chandbhai's house for a few days. Subsequently, he traveled to Shirdi with a wedding procession from Chandbhai's family. Upon reaching the outskirts of the village, he entered the Khandoba temple, where he was greeted by Mhalasapati. Mhalasapati then introduced Baba to his companions, Kashiram Shimpi and Appa Jagle, integrating him into the local community.
