How did a prominent figure like Hari Sitaram Dixit, who was involved in a Legislative Council election, first learn about Sai Baba, considering he was completely unaware of 'Sai' until 1909?

Hari Sitaram Dixit, also known as Kakasaheb, was a prominent man who was even campaigning for a Legislative Council election. Chapter 51 reveals that until the year 1909, the name 'Sai' was entirely unknown to him. His introduction to Baba happened through a chance meeting with an old friend, Nana Saheb Chandorkar, in Lonavala. During their conversation, Dixit mentioned a persistent foot injury from an accident. This prompted Nana to tell him about the greatness of his Guru, Sai Baba, and suggest a visit for a cure. Hearing Nana's account of Baba's power, Dixit became deeply interested, not for physical healing but for spiritual growth, thus beginning his journey to becoming a supreme devotee.
