Which people were instrumental in helping Hemantpant finally make his first trip to Shirdi?

Several individuals were instrumental in facilitating Hemantpant's first visit to Shirdi. The initial impetus came from Nanasaheb, whose earnest questions about his delay made Hemantpant feel ashamed and awakened the desire to go. As detailed in Chapter 2, during the train journey itself, an unnamed Muslim man provided the crucial information that saved him from missing his connection. Finally, upon arriving in Shirdi, the devotee Tatyasaheb Noolkar immediately guided him, ensuring he had his first darshan of Baba without delay by telling him to go for the 'dust-meeting' right away.
