The first encounter between H.S. Dixit and Madhavrao Deshpande was orchestrated by a remarkable series of coincidences. Chapter 51 narrates that while Dixit was in Ahmednagar worrying about his trip, Madhavrao was unexpectedly summoned to the same city by a misleading telegram. At the same time, Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre were in town for a horse show. They happened to see Madhavrao get down from his carriage and, recognizing him as Shirdi's priest, immediately realized he was the perfect guide for Dixit. They acted as intermediaries, informing Madhavrao about Dixit's presence at Mirikar's house. This led to their meeting, where Balasaheb Mirikar formally introduced them, and they finalized their plan to travel to Shirdi together on the ten o'clock night train.
