Can you detail how Maharaj arrived in Shirdi and how he received the name 'Sai Baba' based on the introductory chapter?

πŸ“– Chapter 0

According to the introduction presented in Chapter 0, Maharaj's journey to Shirdi began after he stayed with a man named Chandbhai. He accompanied the wedding procession of Chandbhai's wife's nephew, which was headed to Shirdi. The procession stopped near the Khandoba temple, where Maharaj met a gentleman named Mhalasapati. Upon seeing Maharaj, who was wearing a kafni and cap, Mhalasapati welcomed him with the words "Aavo Sai Baba" (Come, Sai Baba). Maharaj embraced this name for the rest of his life, even stating in a later commission, "They call me Sai Baba." This pivotal moment marked his arrival and naming in Shirdi.
