The individual known as the 'Modern Tukaram' was Balabuva Satarkar. As described in Chapter 6, he earned this title because of his renowned Bhajans. He was brought to Shirdi by Kaka Mahajani for the specific purpose of performing the Kirtan for the Ram Navami festival. The text notes that this happened in the third year of the festival being held there, following a year when another performer, Bhishma, was not present. Balabuva's visit was highly anticipated, and Kaka Mahajani was instrumental in arranging for him to perform.
