Who is Hemadpant, and what does the author reveal about his own character before receiving this name?

Hemadpant is the name attributed to the author of the "Sai Leela" book, as noted at the end of each chapter. In Chapter 2, the author acknowledges that this naturally creates curiosity and promises to tell the story of how he was given this name. He provides a candid self-assessment of his character before this event, describing himself as "mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical." He admits to being arrogant about his knowledge, possessing a logic-driven mind, and being prone to argumentation, with no initial understanding of a Satguru's greatness.
