The first meeting between Dixit and Madhavrao Deshpande was the culmination of a series of perfectly timed events. As Chapter 51 recounts, Dixit was in Ahmednagar, anxious for a guide to Shirdi. Simultaneously, Madhavrao was unexpectedly called from Shirdi to Nagar by a telegram about a supposed family illness. Upon Madhavrao's arrival in Nagar, he was immediately seen by Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre. Recognizing him as 'the priest of Shirdi,' they informed him about Dixit's desire and told him to go to Mirikar's house. After a brief visit to his father-in-law's home, Madhavrao was formally sent for by Mirikar. Honoring the invitation, Madhavrao went to meet Dixit as the sun was setting, where Balasaheb Mirikar introduced them, and their journey was planned.
