Who was Nanasaheb Nimonkar and what was his relationship with Maharaj like in his final years?

Nanasaheb Nimonkar, whose full name was Shankarrao Raghunath Deshpande, was a respected leader and Honorary Magistrate from Nimon village. As Chapter 0 explains, he initially visited Maharaj at his uncle's suggestion. Over time, his faith grew immensely, and he spent the last three years of his life in constant, dedicated service to Maharaj. Despite being over sixty, he was never lazy in his duties. Maharaj affectionately called him "Kaka." His devotion was so profound that during his final days, he saw Maharaj everywhere and in everyone, constantly remembering him until his peaceful end.
