How did Sai Baba first arrive in Shirdi and how did he receive his famous name?

Maharaj, who would later be known as Sai Baba, initially came to Shirdi accompanying a wedding procession for the nephew of Chandbhai's wife. The historical account in Chapter 0 details that the procession stopped in a garden near the Khandoba temple. It was here that Maharaj met a goldsmith named Mhalasapati. Upon seeing Maharaj dressed in a kafni and cap, Mhalasapati greeted him with the words "Aavo Sai Baba," meaning "Come, Sai Baba." Maharaj adopted this name, and as Chapter 0 notes, he was known as Sai Baba for the rest of his life.
