Who were Sai Baba's first devotees in Shirdi, and what specific acts of service did they perform?

📖 Chapter 0

As detailed in Chapter 0, Sai Baba's first devotees in Shirdi were Mhalasapati, Kashiram Shimpi, and Appa Jagle. Mhalasapati introduced Baba to the other two, and all three became his followers. They had a custom of serving saints who came to the village. Kashiram's service was particularly notable; he served Baba with 'body, mind, and wealth.' He stitched a green kafni and cap for Baba, took a vow to supply chillum, tobacco, and firewood for the Dhuni, and would place his entire money bag before Baba, asking him to take whatever he needed.
