Kashiram was one of Sai Maharaj's most dedicated early followers. According to Chapter 0, he served Maharaj with his wealth and actions, providing everything from tobacco for his chillum to clothing. He underwent a significant spiritual test when Maharaj made him face financial ruin to cure him of the pride he felt in giving Dakshina. He famously survived a brutal attack by robbers through Maharaj's divine intervention, an act for which the Bombay government honored him with a sword. After living for some years following this incident, Kashiram passed away on an Ekadashi day, specifically on Chaitra Shuddha 11 in the year Shake 1830, a death considered fortunate for a devotee.
Can you give me a summary of the life and death of the devotee Kashiram?
