Kashiram was a devotee who was attacked by thieves for a small bundle he was carrying. Believing it contained treasure, the thieves tried to steal it, but it only held powdered sugar, which Kashiram carried on the advice of a saint to feed ants. As described in Chapter 0, he fought back fiercely, killing two thieves with a dropped sword before being struck with an axe and left for dead. Simultaneously, in Shirdi, Sai Maharaj became very agitated, which his followers recognized as his way of protecting a devotee in danger. Kashiram survived, refused hospital care due to his faith, and was taken to Shirdi where he recovered under Maharaj's grace. This incident shows the powerful connection between Maharaj and his devotees.
Can you tell me about the devotee Kashiram and the incident where he fought off thieves?
