Can you list out everyone who helped Dixit get to Shirdi and explain what they did?

Several individuals played a role in facilitating Dixit's first journey to Shirdi. As detailed in Chapter 51, Dixit himself initiated the process by expressing his deep desire to go and respectfully requesting help from the Mirikars after his work in Nagar was done. Kakasaheb Mirikar and his son Balasaheb Mirikar discussed who could accompany him. The key figures, however, were Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre, who happened to be in Nagar for an exhibition. They spotted Madhavrao Deshpande, Baba's priest, and realized he was the ideal person to guide Dixit. They acted as intermediaries, informing Dixit of Madhavrao's arrival and telling Madhavrao to go see Dixit. Finally, Madhavrao Deshpande became the direct companion, meeting Dixit and arranging to travel with him on the night train to Shirdi.
