Who was Damu Shet Kasar, and what motivated him to establish a tradition at the Ram Navami fair?

Damodar Savlaram, or Damu Shet Kasar, was a devotee who was deeply saddened by the fact that he had no son from either of his two wives. Chapter 0 explains that he sought Maharaj's blessing at the suggestion of Govindrao Sapkar. After Maharaj's blessing led to the birth of a son, Damu Shet's faith was irrevocably fixed. Out of immense gratitude, he took a vow to bring a new flag to the Ram Navami fair each year and to feed all the Fakirs gathered there that day. The text notes that his vow was still being honored.
