The story of Anandnath Maharaj's visit is quite remarkable. According to Chapter 0, a group of Shirdi residents, including Madhavrao Balwant Deshpande and others, had gone to Savargaon for the darshan of Anandnath Maharaj. After their meeting, as the group was preparing to leave for Shirdi, Anandnath Maharaj suddenly ran and sat in their cart, declaring, "I am coming with you." The people of Navargaon and Yeola tried to persuade him to stay, but their efforts were in vain. This spontaneous and determined act, as described in Chapter 0, shows his deep desire to travel to Shirdi and meet the figure he would later call a "diamond."
Tell me the story of how Anandnath Maharaj insisted on coming to Shirdi.
