The tradition of the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi evolved through the devotion of Baba's followers. Chapter 6 recounts that after Balabuva Satarkar's highly successful and beloved performance, another devotee, Dasganu, took the initiative to formalize the event. Dasganu prayed to Sai Baba and had the annual festival officially established for them. The text indicates that from that point forward, the birth festival was celebrated annually in Shirdi with great pomp and circumstance. This included feasts for everyone, the playing of auspicious instruments, and the joyous chanting of Sai's name, establishing it as a major event.
