What made the day of Balaram's visit to Shirdi a 'day of double joy' according to the Satcharita?

📖 Chapter 51

The day Balaram Dhurandhar visited Shirdi was exceptionally memorable, described in Chapter 51 as a 'day of double joy' for him and his group. The first joy was profoundly personal: he was miraculously cured of a six-year-long battle with chronic asthma after taking a single puff from Sai Baba's chillim. The second joy was a communal and festive one. The day happened to be a Thursday, which was also the scheduled day for the grand Chavadi procession. Therefore, after receiving this incredible personal blessing of healing, Balaram and his companions were also able to witness and participate in the vibrant evening bhajans and the splendid procession to the Chavadi, experiencing both a personal miracle and a collective celebration of devotion on the same day.
