Several revered saints recognized Maharaj's extraordinary spiritual stature shortly after his arrival in Shirdi. Chapter 0 recounts that upon seeing Maharaj for the first time, Gangagir Baba exclaimed to the villagers, "This is purely a gem. His worth is very great. The village is very lucky that you got this gem." Similarly, Anandnath Maharaj of Akkalkot, a disciple of the famous Swami of Akkalkot, also referred to Sai Baba in glowing terms. Upon arriving in Shirdi, he declared, "This is a diamond. You don't know its true value." These accounts show that other advanced spiritual figures immediately perceived his greatness.
