Damu Shet Kasar, whose full name is given as Damodar Savlaram, was a devotee from Ahmednagar. The text in Chapter 0 describes him as a man who was initially troubled by being childless. His life changed after he visited Maharaj on the advice of Madhavrao Deshpande's father-in-law and was blessed with a son. In gratitude, he became a key figure in the Ram Navami celebrations. Specifically, one of the two large ceremonial flags taken in procession to the Masjid during the fair came from him. He also vowed to feed all the Fakirs present on that day, a practice that continued for years.
