Who is 'Hemadpant' and why is the story of his name included in the book?

Hemadpant is the name attributed to the author of the "Sai Leela" book, as it is heard at the end of every chapter. The story of how he received this name is included to satisfy the curiosity of the listeners. As explained in Chapter 2, the author decided to include this sub-story after remembering Baba's words to "not engage in dualistic explanations." Before telling the story of the naming ceremony, the author provides context by describing his own initial character as mischievous, cynical, critical, and proud of his wisdom, suggesting the name's origin is part of a larger personal transformation inspired by Sai Baba.
