How did the devotional singing of the Ramdasi sect from Madras differ from the practices of other devotees in Shirdi, and why did Baba prefer theirs by giving them eight rupees and eight annas?

The provided text from Chapter 29 does not offer a detailed comparison between the devotional practices of the Ramdasi sect and other devotees. It simply notes in verse 12 that the group from Madras followed the Ramdasi tradition and 'performed devotional singing with great enthusiasm.' While it mentions that Baba gave them eight rupees and eight annas, the text does not suggest this was due to a preference for their practices. In fact, verses 13 and 14 emphasize Baba's unpredictable nature, stating that 'nothing was ever fixed' and 'no one knew his mind,' suggesting the gift was a matter of his will rather than a judgment on their style.
