How did the devotees ensure the Ram Navami Kirtan would take place in Shirdi, even before Balabuva's confirmed arrival?

The devotees demonstrated a strong commitment to ensuring the Ram Navami festival's continuity. As noted in Chapter 6, Kaka Mahajani was responsible for bringing Balabuva Satarkar, the 'Modern Tukaram,' from Kavthe for the Kirtan one year. However, the text reveals a backup plan was in place. It states that even if Balabuva had been unavailable, Kaka Mahajani himself was prepared to stand for the Kirtan, as he knew Dasganu's Ram Navami composition by heart. This shows the dedication of the devotees to maintain the festival traditions, relying on their own capabilities if necessary to ensure the service was performed for Baba.
