What is the main story detailed in Chapter 31 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

📖 Chapter 31

Chapter 31 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra primarily narrates the "sweet story with deep meaning" of a sannyasi from Madras named Vijayananda. As the chapter explains, he was on a determined pilgrimage to Mansarovar when he heard of Sai Baba's fame. He decided to stop in the village of Shirdi to have Baba's darshan. However, his journey took an unexpected turn when he was first discouraged by another Swami about the hardships of his pilgrimage and then had a perplexing first encounter with Sai Baba, who seemed to want him sent away. This entire narrative, as detailed in Chapter 31, illustrates how Baba draws devotees to His feet from far and wide.
