Damu Anna was a well-to-do person, a wealthy bronze-smith (Kasar) from Ahmednagar, who is described as a great devotee devoted to Sai's feet. Chapter 25 highlights two key aspects of his devotion. Firstly, he was blessed with sons by Sai's grace, after having been childless despite having two wives. Secondly, he demonstrated his 'uninterrupted love and devotion' through a long-standing vow related to the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi. For many years, he provided one of the two large flags for the festival's procession, which were then tied to the Masjid, showing his steadfast commitment.
