Kaka Dixit, whose given name was Hari and who was also known as Bhausahib, was a loving devotee of Sai Baba who resided in Parle. Chapter 20 describes him as being constantly engaged in his Guru’s service with his body, speech, and mind. This chapter also sheds light on Baba's practice of giving unique names to his devotees. For example, Baba referred to Bhausahib Dixit as 'Langde Kaka' or 'Bambya Kaka.' The text explains that these names given by the Maharaj acted as a special "stamp" and would become the titles by which the devotees were known and held with love. By this name, Kaka became famous among the people in Shirdi, showing how Baba's naming was a form of blessing and identity.
