Can you describe the series of coincidences that led to H.S. Dixit finding a companion for his Shirdi trip?

The events enabling H.S. Dixit's trip to Shirdi were a remarkable sequence of seemingly coincidental events, which devotees interpret as Sai Baba's leela. According to Chapter 51, while Dixit was restless and worried in Nagar, Madhavrao Deshpande was unexpectedly summoned to the same city by a false alarm about his mother-in-law's health. Just as Madhavrao's carriage arrived, Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre happened to be passing by. They immediately recognized Madhavrao as "the priest of Shirdi" and saw him as the perfect person to accompany Dixit. They informed both parties, leading to their meeting and a plan to travel together that very night.
