Is there any mention of Gajanan Maharaj in the introductory chapters of this book?

The provided introductory text does not contain any reference to Gajanan Maharaj. Instead, the narrative in Chapter 0 focuses on the figure who would become known as Sai Baba. It details his first appearance to Chandbhai Patil, a man searching for his lost horse. The text describes how this Maharaj miraculously located the horse, later visited Chandbhai's home, and eventually traveled to Shirdi with a wedding procession. This entire account, as found in Chapter 0, is centered on the origins of Sai Baba, not Gajanan Maharaj.
