Lalaji's first trip to Shirdi came about through a fortunate turn of events. After developing a deep desire to meet Sai Baba, he was visited by his friend, Shankarrao. As recounted in Chapter 28, Shankarrao unexpectedly proposed a trip to Shirdi, which was a miraculous answer to Lalaji's prayers. To finance the journey, both men had to secure funds. The text in Chapter 28 specifically mentions that Laxmichand 'took on loan from Chulatbhava the sum of fifteen rupees,' and that 'Shankarrao also doing likewise, made preparations for the journey.' Having arranged the necessary money, they gathered their bedding and belongings, went to the station, bought tickets, and boarded the train, performing bhajan together along the way.
