Can you explain Gajanan Maharaj's role in convincing Ratanji to visit Shirdi?

Based on the provided excerpts from Chapter 14, Gajanan Maharaj played no role whatsoever in Ratanji's journey to Shirdi. The text explicitly states that it was Das Ganu who advised the troubled merchant, Ratanji, to seek help from Sai Baba. Ratanji was deeply worried about not having a son, and he confided in Das Ganu. As detailed in Chapter 14, Ganu told him, 'Go to Shirdi; you will obtain your heart's desire,' and encouraged him to surrender to Sai Baba. The name Gajanan Maharaj does not appear in this narrative at all.
