What was the significance of the Chavadi procession for the devotee Balaram Dhurandhar?

For Balaram Dhurandhar, the Chavadi procession was a profoundly faith-affirming experience. According to Chapter 51, Balaram was very enthusiastic to witness the splendor of the event. During the procession and the subsequent Kakad-arati, he was amazed to see a divine light on Sai Baba's face, which flashed like lightning and left him in awe. This powerful darshan had a lasting impact; the text states that from that point on, Balaram's extreme faith became firmly fixed at Sai's feet and did not waver for the rest of his life. The chapter also recounts a separate miracle where his chronic asthma was cured by Baba, but it was this vision of light during the Chavadi rituals that cemented his devotion.
