Describe the circumstances of Annasaheb Dabholkar's visit to Shirdi for Guru Purnima in 1916.

📖 Chapter 3

Chapter 3 recounts that in the year 1916, Annasaheb Dabholkar's government service came to an end. Once his pension was properly settled, he made his way to Shirdi. His visit coincided with the auspicious day of Guru Purnima, a time when many devotees gathered for Guru-worship. During this visit, a fellow devotee named Anna Chinchonikar, who held great concern for Annasaheb, took it upon himself to make a request to Sai Baba. He pleaded with Baba regarding Annasaheb's future, worried that the pension would not be sufficient to support his growing family, thus setting the stage for Baba's profound advice.
