Describe the series of events that made it possible for Balabuva Satarkar to visit Shirdi and perform the Ram Navami Kirtan.

Balabuva Satarkar, a Haridas residing in Mumbai, had a long-standing desire for Sai Baba's Darshan but lacked company for the journey. As Chapter 6 explains, he had an annual commitment to perform the Ram Navami Kirtan at Siddha-Kavthe, for which he received a fee. That particular year, a plague struck the village of Kavthe, forcing the cancellation of the Ram Navami festival. This unfortunate event meant his service to Rama was missed and he lost his fee. However, this provided the perfect opportunity to fulfill his wish to go to Shirdi. He then met with the devotee Dixit to discuss the possibility of performing Kirtan for Baba.
