I read about a devotee who experienced a financial collapse orchestrated by Maharaj and was also later attacked. Could you tell me more about this person?

You are likely thinking of Kashiram, whose dramatic story is recounted in Chapter 0. He underwent two significant trials that tested and purified his devotion. First, to cure him of his pride in being a donor, Maharaj engineered his financial ruin by demanding excessive Dakshina until Kashiram was penniless and humbled. Once the lesson was learned, his prosperity returned. The text then describes a separate incident where Kashiram was attacked by Bhil robbers while returning from a market. They tried to steal a small bundle containing powdered sugar for feeding ants. Due to the bundle's spiritual importance to him, Kashiram fought back fiercely, was severely injured, and left for dead, but he survived through his unwavering faith in Maharaj.
