I'm looking for details on Gajanan Maharaj's connection to Shirdi as described in the source. What can you tell me?

The provided source material does not describe any connection between Gajanan Maharaj and Shirdi. In fact, Gajanan Maharaj is not mentioned in these excerpts at all. The text from Chapter 0 is centered on another individual, referred to as Maharaj, who demonstrated miraculous abilities to Chandbhai Patil by finding his lost horse and creating fire from the ground. This same individual later traveled to Shirdi and was given the name "Sai Baba" by Mhalasapati, but there is no crossover or mention of Gajanan Maharaj in this narrative.
