According to the source material from Chapter 14, it was not Gajanan Maharaj who assisted the Parsi merchant, Ratanji. The text explicitly states that Ratanji, who was swimming in an 'ocean of joy' externally but tormented by the lack of a son internally, sought help from Das Ganu. Das Ganu's advice was to 'Go to Shirdi' and take Sai Baba's darshan. Chapter 14 details Ratanji's arrival in Shirdi, where he prostrated at Sai's feet in the Masjid. The subsequent interaction, including the offering of a flower garland and Baba's request for Dakshina, is entirely between Ratanji and Sai Baba. Gajanan Maharaj is not mentioned in this account.
How did Gajanan Maharaj help the wealthy Parsi merchant who was sad about not having a son?
