Describe the circumstances of Maharaj's encounter with Chandbhai Patil that eventually led to his arrival in Shirdi.

Maharaj's journey to Shirdi began with a miraculous encounter with Chandbhai Patil of Dhupkhede. As Chapter 0 recounts, Chandbhai was searching for his lost horse in a forest when he met Maharaj, who was sitting under a tree. Maharaj told him the exact location of his horse, which was found grazing behind a nearby hedge. In this same encounter, Maharaj demonstrated his power by striking his tongs on the ground to create a fire for a chillum. Deeply impressed, Chandbhai insisted Maharaj come to his home. After staying with Chandbhai for a few days, Maharaj accompanied his family's wedding procession to Shirdi, thus setting the stage for his life there.
