Who were the key individuals involved in arranging Kakasaheb Dixit's first trip to Shirdi from Mirikar's house?

Several key people played a role in facilitating Kakasaheb Dixit's first journey to Shirdi from Nagar. Chapter 51 recounts how Nanasaheb Panshe and Appasahib Gadre acted as catalysts, spotting Madhavrao Balwant Deshpande and telling him to meet Dixit at Mirikar's house. At the house, Balasaheb formally introduced Dixit to Madhavrao, his future travel companion. Balasaheb also unveiled Baba's portrait and entrusted it to them for the journey. Later, when they faced a travel obstacle, an unnamed train guard who was an acquaintance of Dixit provided the crucial solution by arranging their seats, allowing their pilgrimage to continue.
