Chapter 29 mentions a group of devotees from Madras. What can you tell me about their visit to Shirdi?

According to Chapter 29, a group of devotees from the Madras region made a stop in Shirdi while on a pilgrimage to Kashi, drawn by Sai Baba's fame. This group belonged to the Ramdasi sect and stayed in Shirdi for some days, performing devotional singing with great enthusiasm. The chapter notes that their visit brought them peace after having Baba's darshan. In a display of his unpredictable nature, Baba gave them eight rupees and eight annas, though his actions were never fixed, as he would sometimes give gifts and other times send people away empty-handed.
