According to the introductory details in Chapter 0, the journey to Shirdi began after Maharaj, as he was then called, stayed at the home of a man named Chandbhai. This followed a miraculous event where he produced fire from the ground by striking his tongs. Sometime later, Chandbhai's wife's nephew was to be married to a girl from Shirdi. Maharaj joined the wedding procession that was traveling to the village. The procession stopped in a garden near the Khandoba temple, marking his arrival in Shirdi, where he would soon meet Mhalasapati.
