Who were all the people involved in arranging Dixit's first trip to Shirdi and what did they do?

Several people played a role in facilitating Kakasaheb Dixit's first trip to Shirdi. It started with Nana in Lonavala, whose conversation sparked Dixit's interest. Then, as chapter 51 recounts, Nanasaheb Panshe and Appasahib Gadre spotted Madhavrao Deshpande and sent him to meet Dixit at Mirikar's house. At the house, Balasaheb introduced Dixit to Madhavrao and also revealed Baba's repaired portrait, which he entrusted to Madhavrao. Madhavrao then became Dixit's travel companion. Finally, when their train was full, an unnamed train guard who was an acquaintance of Dixit's arranged for their seating, ensuring their journey could proceed as planned.
