On what date did Dixit first meet Sai Baba, and what were the circumstances leading to this meeting?

According to the account in Chapter 4, Dixit had the holy sight of Sai Baba for the first time on November 2, 1909. The primary cause that led him to Shirdi was a physical lameness he acquired from a slipped foot while in England. Although this seemed like bad luck, the text describes it as an auspicious event because it ultimately resulted in the rare meeting with Sai. After hearing of Sai's fame from Chandorkar, Dixit sought him out. However, he was more concerned with the 'lameness of the mind' than his physical ailment, telling Sai to remove that instead.
