The introduction, Chapter 0, explains that after performing a miracle for Chandbhai by finding his horse and creating fire from the ground with his tongs, the holy man stayed at Chandbhai's house for a few days. The opportunity to travel arose when Chandbhai's wife's nephew's wedding was arranged with a girl from Shirdi. The holy man, not yet called Sai Baba, joined this wedding procession to Shirdi. Upon arrival, the procession stopped in a garden near the Khandoba temple. It was here that he met Mhalasapati, who welcomed him with the name 'Sai Baba,' and was subsequently introduced to the village.
Describe the journey of the individual later known as Sai Baba from Chandbhai's home to his initial reception in Shirdi, as recounted in Chapter 0.
