Who is this Hemadpant person who's writing the book, and what was he like?

Hemadpant is the name attributed to the author of the 'Sai Leela' book, as noted by the signature "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" at the end of each chapter. In Chapter 2, the author promises to tell the story of how he received this name. Before becoming a devotee, his character was quite different. The text describes him as having been mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical. He was arrogant about his own knowledge, possessed a logic-driven mind, and was always proud of his wisdom, which made him prone to argumentation. Chapter 2 reveals that he initially knew nothing of a Satguru's greatness and had a 'bad intellect'.
