The series of events that brought Balabuva Satarkar to Shirdi began with a misfortune. As detailed in Chapter 6, the Ram Navami festival he was contracted to perform at Kavthe was canceled due to a plague. This left him without his service and fee. Seizing the opportunity, he expressed his long-held desire for Sai Baba's Darshan to Bhausahab Dixit. Dixit promised to seek Baba's permission. The arrival of Kaka Mahajani with Prasad at that exact moment was seen as a good omen. Subsequently, Dixit secured Baba's approval, and Balabuva traveled to Shirdi, where he performed the entire Ram Navami festival.
