I heard Dixit had a hard time getting to Shirdi at first. How did his journey finally get arranged?

After completing his election work in Ahmednagar, Dixit was overwhelmed with the worry of how he would get to Shirdi and be introduced to Sai Baba. He respectfully requested help from the Mirikars, Balasaheb and his father, who were discussing who could accompany him. As Chapter 51 explains, while they were making their plans, a series of seemingly coincidental events unfolded. Madhavrao Deshpande, a priest from Shirdi, unexpectedly arrived in Nagar after receiving a telegram about his supposedly ill mother-in-law. He was then spotted by Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre, who immediately recognized him as the perfect guide for Dixit. They connected the two, leading to Madhavrao meeting Dixit at Mirikar's house, where they finalized their plan to travel together to Shirdi on the ten o'clock night train.
