How did the saint who became known as Sai Baba first arrive in Shirdi, and what were the circumstances that led to him being called by that name?

📖 Chapter 0

According to Chapter 0, the figure who would become Sai Baba arrived in Shirdi as part of a wedding procession for Chandbhai's wife's nephew. The text explains that the procession stopped in a garden near the Khandoba temple. Upon entering the temple, he met a resident named Mhalasapati who, upon seeing him, greeted him with the words "Aavo Sai Baba" (Come, Sai Baba). As Chapter 0 states, Maharaj held that name until the end, even confirming in a later testimony that "They call me Sai Baba."
