What role did Dasganu play in the legacy of the Ram Navami festival at Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 6

While Balabuva Satarkar's performance was a notable event, Chapter 6 credits Dasganu with ensuring the Ram Navami festival became a permanent, recurring celebration in Shirdi. After Balabuva's successful visit, which was a one-time arrangement, Dasganu took a crucial step to formalize the celebration. The text states that 'one day when Dasganu came to Shirdi, he prayed to Baba and had the annual festival established for them.' This act transformed the celebration from an ad-hoc event into an established tradition. Because of Dasganu's prayer and Baba's blessing, the birth festival continued to be celebrated 'from then until now' with great pomp, feasting, and joy for all devotees.
