Describe the spiritual atmosphere of Shirdi when Maharaj first arrived, including the other holy men associated with the place.

Chapter 0 indicates that when Maharaj first came to Shirdi, it was already a place frequented by holy men. The town was situated on a walking path for pilgrims traveling to major holy sites like Rameshwar and Pandharpur. At the time of Maharaj's arrival, a saint named Devidas was present, and he was visited by various other saints. One notable holy man, Janakidas, who was said to be very advanced, stayed for many days and spent a lot of time sitting with Maharaj. Furthermore, the famous Gangagir Baba also used to visit the area. This context shows that Shirdi was a spiritually charged environment even before Maharaj's presence became widely known.
