Damu Anna, also known as Damodar Savalram Rasane, was a wealthy bronze-smith (Kasar) from Ahmednagar who was a devoted follower of Sai Baba. As described in Chapter 25, his story demonstrates Sai's readiness to protect His devotees. Despite having two wives, Damu Anna was without children for a long time, but he was eventually blessed with sons after receiving Sai's grace. He was also known for his vow related to the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi. Each year, two large flags are part of the procession; one belongs to the Nimonkars, and the second one belongs to Damu Anna, a tradition he upheld for many years with uninterrupted love and devotion.
