How did the individual referred to as Maharaj first come to Shirdi, and what were the key events surrounding his arrival?

According to the introduction presented in Chapter 0, Maharaj's journey to Shirdi began after a chance encounter with a man named Chandbhai, who was searching for his lost horse. Maharaj miraculously told him where the horse was and later created fire from the ground with his tongs. After staying at Chandbhai's house for a few days, Maharaj accompanied a wedding procession to Shirdi. The procession stopped at a garden near the Khandoba temple, where Maharaj met a goldsmith named Mhalasapati. It was Mhalasapati who greeted him with the words "Aavo Sai Baba," a name he would be known by from then on.
