According to the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba, after a period of being hidden, was rediscovered by a fortunate Muslim man named Chand Patil from the village of Dhup. As narrated in Chapter 5, Patil had lost his mare and was searching for her when he encountered Baba under a mango tree. Baba, appearing as a Fakir, miraculously helped Patil locate his lost horse. This encounter was pivotal because the text mentions that Baba later returned to Shirdi as part of Chand Patil's Muslim wedding party. This event marked the significant reappearance of the 'gem' that was Baba in the town of Shirdi.
How did Sai Baba reappear after being hidden, and who was instrumental in his return to Shirdi?
