Nanasaheb Nimonkar, whose full name was Ra. Shankarrao Raghunath Deshpande, was a prominent figure from Nimon village. He held the government-appointed position of Honorary Magistrate for many years. As described in Chapter 0, he initially came for Maharaj's darshan at his uncle's suggestion, and his faith grew steadily over time. For the last three years of his life, he was in constant service to Maharaj, only returning home for essential daily rituals. Despite being over sixty, he served without laziness or desire for rest. Maharaj affectionately called him "Kaka," and he also provided one of the two ceremonial flags for the annual Ram Navami fair.
