In Chapter 29, a notable story involves a group of devotees from the Madras region (now Chennai) who were on a pilgrimage to Kashi. Having heard of Sai Baba's fame, they decided to stop at Shirdi for his darshan. This group, whose members were of the Ramdasi sect, had spent the year engaged in devotional singing. Upon reaching Shirdi, they attained peace after having Baba's darshan and stayed for several days, performing loving devotional singing with great enthusiasm. As mentioned in the chapter, Baba was pleased with their devotion and gave them a sum of eight rupees and eight annas, showcasing his benevolent nature towards sincere pilgrims.
