Chand Patil was instrumental in Baba's return to Shirdi. According to Chapter 5, Patil, an official from Dhup village, first encountered Baba as a Fakir who helped him find his lost horse. Baba then performed miracles, like pulling a glowing ember from the earth and creating a spring of water by striking the ground with his satka. Deeply impressed, Patil invited Baba to his home. Later, when a marriage was arranged for his wife's nephew with a bride from Shirdi, Baba, drawn by his attraction to Chandbhai, joined the wedding party. This procession was the very vehicle that brought Baba to Shirdi, where he would ultimately stay.
