Can you tell me about Balabuva Satarkar and how he came to perform at the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi?

Balabuva Satarkar, a Haridas from Satara also known as the 'Modern Tukaram,' was destined to perform at the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi due to a series of fortunate events. As Chapter 6 explains, his usual annual Kirtan at Siddha-Kavthe was canceled because of a plague. This provided him the opportunity to seek Sai Baba's Darshan. He approached the devotee Dixit, who, after seeing a good omen in Kaka Mahajani's arrival with Prasad, promised to seek Baba's permission. Baba gave his approval, and Balabuva traveled to Shirdi, where he performed the entire Ram Navami festival with great love and novelty, fulfilling his desire.
