What happened when the Madrasi sannyasi Vijayananda arrived in Shirdi, according to Chapter 31?

📖 Chapter 31

Upon his arrival in Shirdi, as detailed in Chapter 31, the sannyasi Vijayananda had a significant encounter. He met Swami Somdevji of Haridwar, who was also present in the assembly of devotees. When Vijayananda inquired about the journey to Mansarovar, Swami Somdevji described it as a perilous undertaking, mentioning the great distance, heavy snow, and hardships faced by outsiders. This news left Vijayananda dejected and worried. Subsequently, when he took darshan of Sai Baba and prostrated at His feet, he felt pleased. However, Baba's mood suddenly changed, and He told the assembly to send the sannyasi away, creating a confusing and distressing situation for the newcomer.
