The arrival of Anandnath Maharaj in Shirdi was quite spontaneous. As detailed in Chapter 0, several residents from Shirdi, including Madhavrao Balwant Deshpande and Dagdu Bhau Gaike, went to Savargaon for his darshan. As they were about to return, Anandnath Maharaj suddenly ran, sat in their cart, and declared, 'I am coming with you.' Despite efforts by others to stop him, he traveled with the group to Shirdi. Upon arriving and seeing Sai Baba, he made the profound statement, 'This is a diamond. You don't know its true value,' indicating his immediate recognition of Maharaj's spiritual wealth.
Can you tell me the story of how Anandnath Maharaj came to Shirdi and what he thought of Sai Baba?
