What sequence of unfortunate and fortunate events led to Balabuva Satarkar performing at the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi?

A specific chain of events, starting with a misfortune, enabled Balabuva Satarkar's performance in Shirdi. According to Chapter 6, a plague (referred as 'Margi') struck the village of Kavthe, which led to the cancellation of their annual Ram Navami festival. This meant Balabuva's contracted service and fee were missed. However, this provided him with the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire for Baba's Darshan. He met with Dixit, a prominent devotee, and shared his wish to perform Kirtan in Shirdi. Dixit then secured Baba's permission, turning the initial disappointment into a blessed event where Balabuva performed the entire Ram Navami festival in Baba's presence.
