Who were the main people who helped arrange Kakasaheb Dixit's first meeting with Madhavrao and his journey to Shirdi?

Several individuals were instrumental in facilitating Kakasaheb Dixit's journey. Chapter 51 explains that Nanasaheb Panshe and Appasahib Gadre initiated the meeting by seeing Madhavrao Balwant Deshpande and telling him to find Dixit at Mirikar’s house. At the house, Balasaheb formally introduced Madhavrao to Dixit, solidifying their travel plans. Balasaheb was also the custodian of Baba's portrait that had been sent for repairs. Finally, Madhavrao Deshpande was a key figure, becoming Dixit's travel companion who accompanied him with the sacred portrait and narrated nectar-like stories of Baba during the train ride to Shirdi.
