Who is Hemadpant, and why is the story of how he got his name included in this book?

Hemadpant is the author of the 'Sai Leela' book, and his name is mentioned at the end of every chapter. As detailed in Chapter 2, this naturally raises curiosity among listeners and readers. To satisfy this curiosity, the author decided to include a sub-story explaining the origin of the name 'Hemadpant.' He considers the telling of this story to be an inspiration from Sai Baba himself. Before delving into the naming ceremony, Chapter 2 also describes the author's initial character as mischievous, cynical, and arrogant about his knowledge, setting the stage for his transformation under the Satguru's guidance.
