When did Dixit first meet Sai Baba, and what were the circumstances that led to this meeting?

Kaka Saheb Dixit had his first holy sight of Sai Baba on November 2nd, 1909. The path to this meeting was rather unusual. As explained in Chapter 4, Dixit had gone on a trip to England where he had an accident that resulted in a lame foot. Though it appeared to be bad luck, the text describes this event as an auspicious 'Guru-Pushyamrit' yoga. This physical ailment led him to meet Nanasaheb Chandorkar, who told him about Sai's fame. Upon meeting Baba, Dixit was not concerned with his physical lameness, but rather the 'lameness of the mind,' which he asked Sai to remove.
