What were the circumstances surrounding the kirtan performed by Das Ganu in Thane as narrated in Chapter 15?

Chapter 15 narrates an event where Das Ganu, a devotee of Hari, was arranged to perform a melodious kirtan in Thane, near the Kaupineshwar temple. The performance was organized at the insistence of respected elders. A significant detail mentioned is that there was absolutely no financial aspect to it; Das Ganu accepted not even a single copper coin and made no stubborn demands. He performed with a bare torso, no turban, and a simple cloth around his waist. Despite, or perhaps because of, this simplicity and lack of commercialism, the rush of listeners to hear his discourse was described as uncontrollable, highlighting the purity of the devotional event.
