Who was Kashiram Shimpi and what specific acts of devotion did he perform for Sai Baba?

Kashiram Shimpi was one of Sai Baba's earliest and most devoted followers in Shirdi. The text in Chapter 0 highlights his immense dedication, stating he served Maharaj with his body, mind, and wealth. Specifically, Kashiram took a vow to provide Maharaj with chillum and tobacco, as well as firewood for his Dhuni. He also stitched and gifted him a green kafni and a green cap. His financial devotion was so complete that he would place his entire money bag before Maharaj, requesting him to take as much as he wished. Sadly, Kashiram passed away on an Ekadashi day, a fact noted as befitting a devotee of Hari.
